We’ve seen more homeowners taking steps to sell their properties, eager buyers actively searching and landlords planning ahead for upcoming changes in the lettings sector.

January saw a significant rise in valuations, reaching an all time high for the month. Homeowners are taking advantage of the strong buyer demand, leading to a 24% increase in instructions  compared to the same period last year. This means more properties are coming onto the market, creating fresh opportunities for buyers.

With more homes available, viewing activity has soared. We’ve experienced a  26% rise in viewings and viewing requests, with many buyers eager to find the right property as soon as possible. This increased interest has led to a 31% rise in sales agreed, across both private treaty and auction sales.

In house  mortgage advice  has also been in high demand, with appointments up 31% as more buyers seek expert guidance on financing their purchases. Having access to the right advice in a competitive market is crucial and our mortgage advisors are always ready to help.

If you’ve been considering selling, there’s every reason to take advantage of this growing momentum and increased buyer demand. Book your free valuation by clicking here.
