In an article entitled "Foundations laid for a housing recovery" by Richard Northedge, Michael Day, Managing Director of Integra Property Services was cited as an industry expert alongside Yolande Barnes (Head of Research at Savills) and Martin Gahbauer (Nationwide Building Society's Chief Economist) and was quoted as follows:

Chartered Surveyor Michael Day of Integra Property Services says: "This shortage of supply remains a key issue and has helped fuel the positive direction seen on house process in recent months."

Later in the article Mr Day say: "There are two major one-off factors that will impact on the market in 2010 - the General Election and the World Cup. Both will see periods of slower activity as people get deflected from their normal activities. "The Tories have said they will scrap home information packs - HIPS - if they are elected and this is likely to add to the usual pre-election market stagnation as potential sellers wait to see what happens before committing themselves."
