Despite this, Rightmove is recording record visits but says that uncertainty and stretched affordability continue to dent the sentiment of some prospective buyers and sellers. The average asking prices in seven of 11 regions reached their all-time high this month - with strong year-on-year price growth recorded in the East Midlands, West Midlands and Wales (all over 4%).
