More sellers came onto the market in September, according to the latest figures
The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Rics) UK Housing Market Survey found that almost a quarter (22 per cent) more chartered surveyors reported a rise rather than a fall in new instructions.
Activity was seen in at least three regions – the north led the way, with more new instructions also being reported in London, the South West, Yorkshire and the Humber.
Overall, there has been a ten per cent rise in instructions on August's figures.
House prices continued to fall, with more than a third (36 per cent) of surveyors reporting drops rather than rises in values.
Despite speculation of a double-dip, members remained positive, with around half saying that they expected prices to continue to remain stable.
Analysts put the increase in new instructions down to economic uncertainty about the future.
However, the new influx of supply on the market could be good news for buyers who can access credit.
