Connells Survey & Valuation has reported a surge as seller confidence in June, the first clear month in which Home Information Packs have been abolished.

The nationwide property valuation service saw a 20% rise in valuations, compared with a year earlier, taking volumes in the second quarter of 2010 up 13% on the same period of 2009.

However, first-time buyer volumes increased by a mere 1% in June, compared with a year earlier, while valuations for homemovers rose 24% year-on-year.

Volumes for remortgagors soared by 30% on May, representing a year-on-year increase of 53% and suggesting that more homeowners are now looking to remortgage ahead of anticipated interest rate rises.

Finally, there was strong annual improvement in the number of valuations for buy-to-let investors looking to add to their portfolios, with valuations up by 10% in June compared to May and by 12% on an annual basis.
