The number of homes sold reached an all-time low in June, new figures show.

Data from the Land Registry showing all property sales in England and Wales reveal that in Watford and surrounding areas, just one property was sold in June.

In fact, the number of properties sold dropped each month during the lockdown period between April and June.

The lockdown was officially imposed in the UK by March 23. During the height of the lockdown, people were advised to delay house moves. Rules also prevented in-person house viewings.

From May 13, estate agents in England could conduct viewings. But it appears that this did not help boost house sales in June.

Data for July has not yet been released by the Government.

In January, 3,518 homes were sold in Watford borough, Three Rivers and Hertsmere. In February, after the first case of coronavirus in the UK, sales dropped to 204 - just six per cent of January's figure.

Here's what happened during the peak of the lockdown months, from April to June:
