A new research suggests that property buyers in the UK are becoming more efficient in their hunt for a new home by looking at fewer properties before making a decision.

Those looking to buy a property seem to become more task driven as the number of property sales has increased at a higher rate than viewings, the latest monthly report from estate agent haart showed.

These new findings paint a picture of a changing market. Whilst supply has increased by 6% across the country and by 9% in the capital, the numbers are still down by 20.8% compared to one year ago.
