The past eighteen months has been a busy time in the property market with demand higher than it’s ever been in working memory for many in the property business.
Whilst there has been a supply issue in both the sales and rental markets, we are hopeful that this should resolve itself when everyone starts going about their business as before.
In property there is rarely ‘normal’. It is either flying high or flying low – or heading in either direction. But whether a buyers’ or sellers’ market our job, as your agent, is to get the best result for you when it is right for you and your family.
With this in mind, it is wise to plan ahead and make sure you are ready to sell once the time is right for you. We can give professional advice on the potential market value of your home, the current levels of activity in the area and the preparations that need to be completed before the house can be marketed.
With current demand levels for properties high and stock low, if now is the time for you to move, there is a greater possibility of securing another home if you are already on the market. Plus by planning ahead, you increase the chances of moving quickly when the time comes.
So don’t be a panic seller or buyer, or let the market dictate your move – be a property optimist and take control.
Call Kate Porter, Head of Sales, for further advice on your home. Tel 02392 632 275 email: katep@countryhousecompany.co.uk
