BBC News - Housing market still picking up, surveyors say
The UK's property market is benefiting from its normal spring pick up, the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Rics) said.
Its latest monthly survey of 245 members who work as estate agents suggests that prices are still going up.
In April, 17% more surveyors said prices were rising rather than falling, up from 9% in March.
Sales have picked up very slightly as well, Rics reported.
The average number of homes sold per surveyor rose to 17.4 over the three months to the end of April.

The leading think tank said it now expected the ONS to upgrade its first-quarter official growth estimate.
