A CASE OF HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF

By Andrew Jeffery Associate Director Fine & Country Cornwall.

The end of 2013 produced one of the best quarters yet for some time in country sales in Cornwall. Property sellers have at last taken note of price trends and have reacted positively for the need to adjust their prices downwards in many cases.

Many properties had languished on the market for a long time and the prices had then become historic. The results were very good combined with greater optimism over the economy with sales happening almost up to Christmas.

However the New Year market conditions need no explanation from me.

The constant extreme weather has almost written off the first six weeks or so of the New Year in country property sales; quite understandable that nobody wants to travel in the circumstances and to be quite frank, very few vendors would consider their properties appealing in such atrocious conditions and were somewhat relieved not to be having viewing visitors.

As I write this report the worst of the weather has now gone and the market has quickly reverted back to conditions we found at the end of last year with high levels of viewings, positive attitude by viewers and buyers with good results now in the pipeline.

The days of buyers now saying our properties are overpriced or they would sit back and wait for a further decline in values have gone and prospects for the Spring market are looking hopeful.

It seems we are now heading back to better days when we need good quality country property instructions especially those with land and a second income stream from holiday lets. With our experienced team here in Cornwall we feel able to offer you the best advice, a quick positive and most importantly enthusiastic service to get you a good result.

Recent sales success includes Fellover School near St. Breward, a classic contemporary country residence in the style of Frank Lloyd Wright set in about three acres of Parkland with about five hundred feet of frontage onto the River Camel. The asking price was £645,000 and attracted significant interest mainly from the Home Counties.

We also sold St. Benets Abbey in the village of Lanivet, a magnificent period property now used as a hotel and with provenance back to 1411 is set in just under 2 acres of grounds . The asking price was £697,000.

We are delighted with the continued growth of the Fine & Country brand, now internationally also. Coupled with our own award winning estate agency services and our new on line Webbers and Fine & Country TV service, this puts us at the forefront of cutting age technology, an all inclusive and no up-front cost additional service which I believe is second to none.

A quick call is all that is needed to arrange a non-committal appointment so we can demonstrate all of these services to you and more; our commitment to back this up with our enthusiastic and experienced team.
