As 2019 draws to a close, now is a good time to reflect on the year and look at what has happened within our company and the local property market.

At the start of the year there was a lot of uncertainty in the local property market. Sellers were holding off putting their properties up for sale meaning there was a lack of properties for people to buy, house prices were under pressure as buyers were not prepared to pay these prices and this led to a reduction in the amount of people moving. It really was a wait and see moment.

Well what has changed? There is still uncertainty! The change came with the delay to Brexit, people’s attitude then shifted to one of, let’s just get on with it. We instantly saw more properties come to the market; buyers were prepared to spend their money as they wanted to secure a new home. Prices became more realistic and there was now an active property market again.

From a company prospective we have continued to work hard for our clients. We have been proactive in helping them find buyers that are willing to pay the best prices and at the same time delivered an exceptional service. This has seen us grow our market share in the local area and been recognised in the TOP 3% of estate agents in the country for marketing, service and results.

As we end the year the market has remained buoyant, and we are confident this will continue in 2020.
