Neil Moore of Guy Leonard & Company looks into the options presented by the property market this autumn.
Champagne on Ice Realistic estate agents are putting the champagne back on ice for a little longer. For a while many people thought that a buoyant property market had returned. In many places prices had regained their pre-2007 levels and there was strong demand. However, it would be foolish to ignore the many signals we have. In the market, all is not quite as rosy as it was. Demand has slackened off; mortgage lending is at a six month low; harsh economic measures are ahead and, despite low interest rates and helpful noises from the IMF that the British economy is looking better, few are deceived into thinking that the next 12 months or so won’t be a challenge for most of us. In property it is both nicer and easier to give and receive messages of optimism and assurance. No one ever wants to hear from a pessimistic estate agent. But then no one wants to hear from a stupid one either. For buyers
with cash, or enough deposit to take advantage of some very good mortgage rates at the moment, this is a great market with lots of choice and a good degree of negotiating room. If purchasers missed the wonderful window of buying opportunity in spring 2008 now is a second chance to make a very good property investment. For sellers it is time to become hard-nosed business people. The message is clear. Pitch your price to attract lots of viewers and undercut the competition. Ensure that your home is always windowdressed to impress. Use a ‘For Sale’ board. Always be available for viewings. Encourage all offers and do not react crossly to low ones – it is not the first offer that counts, but the last! Negotiate hard on your next purchase. Finally, use a realistic estate agent and not a silly one. Then, at last, you will be able to open that champagne – and we shall be happy to help you!
