Market is strong says estate agent
A Chesterfield estate agent has said sales are strong despite predictions that Brexit would spell disaster for the housing market.

Commentators from across the board heralded tougher lending restrictions and a loss of confidence in the market in the lead-up to the EU referendum.
But Daniel Elliott, managing director of Wilkins Vardy, said new instructions and sales in the area were at extremely healthy levels after the UK exit.
He added: “It is possibly down a little compared to this time last year but that is bearing in mind our figures include the week afterwards.
“Since July 1 we have completed 63 appraisals, 105 offers and have agreed sales on 29 properties.
