Who opened or expanded branches in November/October/December

PROPERTY HOTSPOTTER is updated monthly (except in summer). It lists which estate agents opened or expanded branches, or formed new affiliations, in the previous month.


Estate agents open or expand operations in an area when their research shows demand is rising, so this can indicate a future property hotspot.
