Did the local housing market experience a ‘spring rush’ despite the current state of the UK economy?

Every spring sees a boom in the housing market. Almost without fail, the market seems to hold its breath through the winter until springtime, when suddenly it is flooded with homes for sale and buyers with mortgage offers.
