The latest research from leading estate agent comparison site, GetAgent.co.uk, shows that the number of listings added per week continued to exceed pre-pandemic levels, as does the average views each listing receives while property related searches and home seller leads have also continued to climb.

With the 100 day mark since we entered lockdown approaching (1st July, GetAgent.co.uk has also analysed which pockets of the UK property market have weathered the storm the most based on the available level of property stock listed and the level of new homes entering the market since the industry reopened for business.

Birmingham (4,081), Leeds (3,830), Cornwall (3,673) and Leicester (3,180) have also seen some of the highest levels of property stock despite being in lockdown for 100 days.
