New Year, New Market
Rightmove has released their House Price Index, which is an overview of the UK property market. It supports what I've been telling property owners since the New Year, which is that there’s renewed confidence in the property market.
Since the election in December I've seen a surge in buyers looking for their next home in Berkshire, Hampshire and Surrey. Across our 10 offices, I’ve seen applicant registrations increase by 39% compared to last year*. This means if you’re thinking of selling your property, I’ve got buyers waiting.

In Rightmove’s House Price Index, they have identified a 7.4% increase in sales agreed compared to last year. Plus, the average property price in the South East has increased by 2.6% since January 2019. This paints an optimistic picture of the UK property market – one that is no longer affected by the uncertainty of Brexit.
Miles Shipside, Rightmove Director and housing market analyst says: “While there may well be more twists and turns to come in the Brexit saga, there is now an opportunity for sellers to get their property on the market for a spring move unaffected by Brexit deadlines."
Now is the perfect time to get your property on the market and take advantage of a more optimistic and engaged buyer market, which has seen an increase in over 15% more buyer enquiries compared to last year.
