The most wanted properties in the UK
Period properties may have charm and history, but they're a one-way ticket to endless maintenance, and they let a hell of a breeze in at this time of year. Perhaps that's why new homes (and relatively new ones) dominate the top ten most viewed properties in the UK at the moment.
You can take a look at the full top ten here.
Other very popular features are the ever-present en-suite, a variety of dressing rooms, shiny white kitchens, Bi-fold doors, gyms, and even a couple of swimming pools - which seem to be the mod cons we hanker after at the moment.

That's not to say we have entirely parted ways with a bit of romance, as there's a Crown Estate property in this list, and a historic home on Skye - which goes to show we can still dream of an island life away from it all.
The final trend in this month's most viewed properties are a couple of affordable homes - a two-bedroom flat in Newport and a family home in Lanarkshire. Both undoubtedly owe much of their appeal to their affordability. But the question is who is making up the bulk of the thousands of people looking around this month?
Is George Osborne's wish of an army of first-time-buyers coming true, or are we seeing a final rush of searches for buy to let properties before the higher rate of tax comes in?
Either way it seems that anyone who can offer something special on a very limited budget is going to attract an enormous amount of attention - regardless of whether they have a shiny white kitchen, a dressing room, and bi-fold doors.
