Research from Clydesdale & Yorkshire Banks reveal that 30% of people in the UK are planning to move home in 2011.
The research reveals the biggest single increase since October 2008 when just 9% of people planned to move home.
Steve Reid, retail director for Clydesdale Bank, says: “It is greatly encouraging for the property market that more people are clearly keen to move but, of course, there is still natural caution in the market.
“It’s understandable that many people will have put off moving in the last couple of years so the potential demand is there - but the conditions will have to be right for the individual housebuyer to see that demand translate into a move.”
The research suggests that potential housebuyers are most optimistic in the South East where 40% say they are planning to move. In contrast only 22% of those surveyed in Scotland said they plan to move over the next 12 months.
The research also reveals that people’s plans to move have led to a decline in home improvements. Only 17% of those surveyed plan to improve or extend their home compared to 54%in October 2008.
