MOBILE phone technology contributes more and more to the active property market; versatile quick, portable and easy to use – it is ideal for the serious property buyer whether at home or on holiday.

Summer 2013 saw none of the traditional seasonal lull – 82% more properties went under offer between June and mid - August 2013 than back in 2010.

Mobile phone visits to the Knight Frank global property search website doubled in 2013 to 42% compared to just 22% between June and August 2012.
