Britons bought and sold a record number of homes in recent weeks as pent-up demand from the CCP virus lockdown and a desire to leave London bucked the usual summer slowdown, industry data showed on Monday.

Property website Rightmove, which says it is used by 90 percent of British estate agents, reported the highest number of home sales agreed in a month since it began tracking the data more than 10 years ago.
