During the last three months, a number of high profile agents have returned to fish4homes (www.fish4homes.co.uk) or are advertising for the first time, showing signs that confidence is growing in the property market.

High street heavy-weights including Your Move, Reeds Raines and Spicer Haart have recently started advertising on fish4homes again, while new clients such as Connells are also now listing their properties on the site for the fist time. fish4homes also recently signed an exclusive partnership with Allsop, the UK’s leading property auction house, providing easy access to both high street and auction sales.

As a result of these new advertisers, fish4homes has seen a 25% increase in housing stock, taking the total number of properties advertised on the site to 325,000. The site also saw an 8% uplift in users last month, with 634,000 unique users visiting fish4homes in April 2009.

“With over 4.5 million unique users visiting the fish4 group of sites each month, the increase in housing stock will undoubtedly be appreciated by fish4homes visitors” says Stewart Black, Head of Sales for fish4homes.

“Mortgage providers are starting to widen their lending, with more 85% mortgages coming back onto the market, so things seem to be looking up for home buyers and agents alike.”
