Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The number of sellers putting their house on the market rose for the third successive month during December, but vendors may need to cut their prices to do a deal, according to the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. Its latest monthly survey, published today, suggests sellers returned in time for the new year, with London leading the way.
A 38 per cent balance of surveyors reported rising numbers of new homes on the market, the highest since January 2005. But the number of sales fell slightly to 15.2 per surveyor per week last month. Ian Perry, a Rics spokesman, said: "With sales expectations remaining flat, it is important that vendors are realistic."
