A balance between the surveyors 33pc said they saw a further increase in demand during the quarter, the biggest jump since 2008.

But the number of new properties that were available to leave fell for the fifth consecutive quarter as owners themselves fought to get mortgages to expand their portfolios to buy to let.

Buyers could be faced with double squeeze as prices fall again

The national Chief Economist Martin said Gahbauer supply pressures began to facilitate and there is little to suggest the House price declines accelerate in the coming months.

Mr. Gahbauer said that this could lead to a repetition of the end of 2008 and early 2009, when a similar behavior has resulted in a decrease in the quantity of goods on the market.


Weakness is also attributed to more buyers unable to obtain a mortgage loan, with house purchase activity significantly lower than the 1990s housing slump, mainly due to the global financial crisis.
