This blog follows the property market in Southampton. You'll find tips, guidance, and analysis that relates specifically to Southampton and you'll also find properties from all the estate agents in the town on here that may make decent investments. I own and operate Belvoir Lettings, a Southampton Letting Agent, and if you're thinking of buying a property to let in Southampton, I'm happy to offer a second opinion.

HMRC figures show no post-election bounce
The latest transaction figures from HM Revenue & Customs show that 98,540 homes were sold in the UK during May - slightly up on the April figure but below the 101,710 sold in May 2014.
The HMRC data includes properties sold for more than £40,000. About 1.7m homes were sold in 2006, at the market peak, but this fell to 848,000 in 2009, returning to about 1.2m in 2014
.
However in recent months sales have fallen back to below 100,000 a month and there appears to be no significant post-election boom felt yet.
