Housing market 'favours buyers'

Six out of 10 home movers believe the current market favours buyers, with people in Scotland the most likely to hold this opinion and Londoners the least likely, a study from property analyst Rightmove has found.

While much of the market has stagnated, London has been boosted by demand from overseas buyers, and analysts have predicted this trend will continue in 2012 as the city prepares to host the Olympics.
