A Warm Welcome

Welcome to the latest edition of Sold By, the magazine brought to you by Beresfords Country & Village Team. In this issue, we feature a range of stunning properties that have recently been sold by our team, including the stunning Hyde Lodge in Danbury and Calflands Farm, a substantial 8-acre country estate in Upminster, and The Elms, a beautiful and imposing Grade II listed Georgian home and Little Braxted.

The past year has been a challenging one for the property market, but despite the difficulties, the demand for Countryside & Village properties has remained strong. Indeed, the most common reason people move to rural areas is for the extra space and peace and quiet as people continue to look for properties that offer a connection to nature. The Essex countryside and its picturesque coastline continues to offer a unique opportunity to reconnect with nature and enjoy the beauty of the great outdoors while still providing excellent connections to the Capital and beyond.

Interestingly, and contrary to some media commentary, buyer demand for property has risen considerably since December, and according to Propertymark, there were 94 prospective buyers registered per branch in February, compared to 70 in January and 39 in December which once again demonstrates the resilience of the property market.

This magazine however, is not just about showcasing properties. The Country & Village team are also available to provide you with expert advice on buying and selling in Essex. Our team has a wealth of experience and are on hand to share their knowledge on the current market conditions, the importance of presentation when selling a property, how to make the most of virtual viewings and can also share insight into how to market your property discreetly.

Whether you are a buyer, a seller, or simply someone who loves the beauty of the Essex countryside and coastal areas, we hope that this issue of Sold By will inspire you and provide you with valuable insights into the property market. You can contact our team via email on country@beresfords.co.uk or by phone on 01277 350614.
