Market Update

David Sansome

It’s nearly Winter, we’ve put the clocks back an hour and as the weather gets colder, the economic news from around the world is challenging to say the least.

You could be forgiven for thinking that the property market was going to grind to a standstill and that it would be best to hibernate until the Spring!

Well, that’s not how we see it at Sansome & George. Of course we are not pretending that the Eurozone issues and lack of economic growth are not impacting on everyone wherever they are based, but there is no doubt that the property market locally, in both sales and lettings, remains buoyant for those who are keen to do business.

Sensible pricing is a key factor in securing a good buyer for those looking to sell and, whilst tenant demand outstrips rental supply and rents have risen significantly, it is still crucial to secure a quality tenant who is able to fulfill their commitments. Our sales and lettings teams will be pleased to advise you on the best approach for your personal situation.

Quality marketing is an important ingredient in securing the best transaction and our extensive coverage through our four local offices helps set us aside from our competition. Our use of social media and e-marketing is also a key element in both marketing client’s properties for sale and to rent and also in keeping in contact. The world is changing and the current economic issues around the world are likely to act as a catalyst for faster and more dynamic change.

At Sansome & George we concentrate our efforts on individual service and on delivering fast results. Our use of technology allows our team to be much more flexible, make better use of time and provide a more personal service.

High Street footfall is still important however and our superbly located premises continue to attract high volumes of “walk in” enquiries on a daily basis. Our strong community and online presence brings us into contact with buyers, sellers, landlords and tenants and feedback on our service delivery has been very positive. Our website contains a selection of feedback and testimonials for you to peruse.

Yes, the property market is challenging but with the right approach there are still deals being done and moves being made.

We are fortunate to be based in some of the most attractive and well situated locations in the UK and at Sansome & George, we will ensure that our service will make the best of every situation.

Finally, the team and myself look forward to being of service to you.
