Quarterly Report by The Property Ombudsman - 3rd Quarter 2009.

'The statistics which appear in this report covering the period 1 July to 30 September 2009 show the continuing trend of increasing lettings disputes referred to my office. I have noted however a small surge in sales disputes in this period and whilst there has been much talk about the market beginning to pick up, if that is true it will be some months yet before that has an effect on my workload. Trends in the market are mirrored in the numbers of cases that I am asked to judge on about three to four months later so any actual increase in activity in the market will become apparent in my workload towards the end of the year..'
