Market challenging but promising - Groves

Realistic property prices will see the 2017 housing market prosper - that's the prediction from the residential director of one local estate agency.

Black Grace Cowley boss Tim Groves says the market is still "challenging", but growing, and filled with promise for this popular time of year for the industry.
