Sara Ransom of Stacks Property Search says, “With the continued political uncertainty still holding its grip on the Prime Central London market, there is a general feeling amongst agents and buying agents alike that the pent-up demand will soon bubble over.
“A lack of stock as vendors hold on to their properties until April, alongside buyer nervousness, has led to some excellent opportunities in the London market. We have recently agreed purchases of 20% and 22% below asking price, as clients seize an opportunity.
“Buyers waiting for a Brexit decision may miss a trick. Having said this, understanding prices and the market could not be more important at the moment and whilst there are opportunities out there, there is very little new stock coming to the market. There is also a pent-up demand from more than two years of uncertainty which is likely to be released the minute any form of decision is made in Westminster – and irrespective of the outcome.
“Whilst it is unlikely that prices will suddenly climb dramatically, it is likely that vendors post 29th March (unless there is a delay to Brexit) will ask some rather ambitious prices as they hope that holding off from selling will pay dividends. So if you’ve been thinking of buying, now could be the best moment for some time to come – before demand increases, and vendors start asking inflated prices.”

How we can help you
View our property finder services
When making probably the most important financial decision of your life, it pays to have the right advisors at your side.
Downsizing or Resizing
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.
Moving from Abroad
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.
Holiday Home Hunt
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.
Investing in UK Property
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.
