2006 has seen a lot of speculation about the UK property market. Will property prices keep rising? Will the bubble burst? Here at Nestoria we can't claim to have the answers to questions like those, but we do know which areas are generating the most interest.
We've had a trawl through our database, and today we present the top 10 property searches of 2006. Given that outsiders are often referring to the London property market as "bloody insane" (and who are we to disagree), we thought we'd also split those searches out for a separate look.
Without further ado:
Top 10 UK Property Searches
- London
- properties in Birmingham
- properties in Brighton
- properties in Cardiff
- properties in Liverpool
- properties in Edinburgh
- properties in Bristol
- properties in Nottingham
- properties in Leicester
- properties in Manchester
As anticipated, London dominated the rankings, but some of the other leaders are perhaps a bit unexpected. Who knew Cardiff generates more interest than Manchester?
Looking more closely at London…
Top 10 London Property Searches
- properties in Chelsea
- properties in Chiswick
- properties in Notting Hill
- properties in NW3
- properties in Greenwich
- properties in SW18
- properties in Putney
- properties in N1
- properties in SW1
- properties in Hammersmith
The North and South have the lead. We see no evidence of a boost in property interest for East London in anticipation of the 2012 Olympics.
As we've said before, having access to a steady stream of incoming data like this is one of the most intellectually rewarding parts of working at a search engine. We'll be doing our best to expose more of this data to you, the public, in the coming months.
Enjoy.
