Acuitus Chairman, Richard Auterac, comments: “A combination of the progress of the vaccination programme, the roadmap out of lockdown and recent budget measures have helped bring more confidence back to the market. This move to greater level of normalisation is reflected in the larger volumes of properties that we are now seeing flow into the auction room”.
