There is a definite feeling of optimism in the residential property market as we start the New Year.

2016 should be a positive year, especially if the capital region gets off to a flyer. The country property market has always tended to follow the London trend and - with there being no general election, continued growth, unemployment under control and a confident outlook in both the financial and economic markets - the next 12 months should be stable and relatively ‘normal’.

Demand is outstripping supply

What is required are more houses. There is a continued lack of supply of properties in both the cities and the country at most price points, especially over £2m. Due to the lack of supply of good houses we have already seen the average prices of property on the rise. 

Demand remains very strong and there are many good capable, cash buyers sitting in rented accommodation waiting for the right house to be marketed.

Consequently, estate agents are increasingly advising their clients to quietly market their homes ‘off-market’ now rather than wait for the traditional Spring selling season.

Stay ahead of the market

Whilst technology has radically changed the way properties are sourced, the same basic principles of how we ‘stay ahead of the market’ in identifying and finding those special 'off-market’ properties for our clients – that never make it onto Rightmove and OnTheMarket.com – has fundamentally not changed.

It still remains the personal relationships, trust and respect that we have built up over many years with fellow property professionals’ that enable us to deliver what we promise - we find the best properties in all price ranges and then make sure that our private and corporate clients buy or rent at the right price.

UK property market knowledge

After 24 years in business we continue to be one of the few, truly independent property consultants that operate both a property search and corporate relocation business. We work with private clients and blue-chip corporates to find suitable properties to buy or rent and therefore have a very broad understanding of the UK property market.

The negotiated saving is key but our experience combined with a deep knowledge of how the buying and renting process works is also an important element of what our clients want.

Whether you wish to rent or buy a residential property, your welfare and interests are our concerns and business; we pride ourselves on providing our clients with the personal, individual, high levels of service we ourselves demand.
