NEW YEAR, NEW HOME!
Make a new start with Moores – the region’s premier estate agency. Managing Director, Vernon Moore appraises opportunities for local vendors and offers some key advice for those thinking of buying or selling in 2017.
THE RIGHT TIME? RIGHT NOW. With almost three decades of experience in the local property market, Vernon has witnessed his fair share of market uncertainty over the years and has some straightforward advice for property owners thinking of selling this year; “Sell your house when it is the right time for you – simple as that. There will always be speculation around political activity or unusual circumstances such as the Brexit vote which can lead to some vendors being overly cautious. Buyers however usually remain enthusiastic despite any level of uncertainty.”
70% OF BUYERS OVER £500,000 ARE COMING FROM THE SOUTH EAST Moore’s experience the most new registrations from potential buyers during the period over Christmas and the New Year with many cash buyers among them. “It’s frustrating to hear that some vendors feel they need to wait until spring before marketing their home which is simply not the case at all. The early months of the year are the ideal time to capture the attention of our newly registered buyers.” With growing demand from buyers in London and the South East who are prepared to pay up to 10% more than many local vendors are expecting, Vernon’s message is simple – “If the time is right for you to sell, we have buyers ready to move.”
THE RIGHT PLATFORM? GRANTHAM AND VERY SOON… PETERBOROUGH Last year Moores launched an experimental London Platform Office at Grantham railway station and the results have been extraordinary.
Created to cater for those seeking a Country and Commuting home, the office swiftly became the primary showcase for the finest rural homes available in the Vale of Belvoir. “Resembling a First Class lounge, the platform office is an easy and practical information hub for buyers considering a move out of London, seeking prestigious family homes within an easy commute to the capital,” explains Vernon. The Grantham Platform Office has been such a swift and emphatic success that further offices will appear on the London platforms of regional railway stations over the next few weeks, beginning with Peterborough Station.
