James Greenwood of Stacks Property Search says, “With a Boris majority now in Parliament, we expect the property market dam to open. This year will see activity levels not experienced for over a decade; there will be more transactions; more stock; and a great deal more excitement.
“An end to economic and political uncertainty, combined with a continuation of low interest rates, will encourage those who have been worried about what is potentially around the corner to leap into action. There is a huge amount of pent up demand from homeowners who have been delaying a move, whether that’s upsizing, downsizing, or moving geographically.
“Vendors shouldn’t expect prices to rise, although some property that may have been languishing on the market at a slightly inflated price may start to attract more attention. Selling agents will need to manage the expectations of vendors who will want their wait to be justified with higher prices.
“Our advice to buyers is to get active, put their own property on the market, and start looking (not just browsing the internet). Arrange finance as soon as possible, it takes longer these days than in the past, and buyers who have their finance in place will be given priority in competitive situations. You will be operating in a market that is full of confidence.”

When making probably the most important financial decision of your life, it pays to have the right advisors at your side.
Retirement or semi-retirement is an exciting stage in life. Finding the right home to live in and enjoy it to the full is important. We know that and will do all that we can to understand what you’re looking for… before starting to search. And search we will, until we find the house of your dreams.
Relocating is time consuming and stressful. We regularly work with clients who live abroad. We hunt, short-list, prepare your viewings, and make the search process as easy as possible. We oversee the negotiations, manage the conveyancing, and deal with the headaches, so you can concentrate on other aspects of your move.
A holiday home is often an interesting mix of investment and heartfelt connection. You want to use it, but you may well also be keen for others to use it too. We can advise you on what factors to consider in making your decision. And we can then find the perfect holiday home for you to enjoy.
Others say, ‘location, location, location’. We say, ‘location, purpose, price, capital growth, rental returns’… the list goes on. Knowing the market is critical. Local knowledge is key. We ensure all aspects of your investment decision are addressed. Finding, analysing, negotiating, and completing… it’s what we do.
