Richard Saunders The Collection Spring 2024

Welcome... to the Spring 2024 edition of The Collection

Easter seemed perfectly timed this year, drawing a line under a very wet March and heralding the start of a proper, brighter Spring in April. There are clear signs of the market stepping up a gear with viewings and offers agreed increasing with every week. A welcome fall in inflation followed by the decision in March to hold the base rate for the seventh month has already added momentum to this busiest time of the property year.

Both our sales and lettings portfolios have grown significantly in recent weeks and it’s a privilege to be able to offer this area’s finest homes to buyers and tenants alike. As some clients prefer a more private approach at least initially, quite a few of our sales and lettings are being agreed ‘offline’ and so, if you’re looking for your next home in our area, please do look out for those property updates.

I am particularly proud of my team; each of them experienced, friendly and accomplished in getting the best results for our clients, whatever the market conditions. We’re your people in property. Contact us anytime for advice.

Thanks for reading.

LETTINGS HAS LEAPT INTO SPRING

We have seen in the first quarter that the rental market has continued to gather pace. This, as explained in January’s newsletter, is a great sign of things to hopefully come in 2024. Notoriously we tend to see the lettings market at the start of the year mirror that to November and December...slow, however it has been anything but that.

We are continuing to receive rental instructions on properties of all types which is unusual this time of year, as you tend to find the one and two bedrooms, which is the bread and butter of the industry, take priority for searching applicants. However the family homes market, which is prominent in the Spring through to September, has started moving earlier this year with a number of those types of properties coming to market, some have already been let.

Despite what is being written in terms of rental price growth slowing to a thirteen month low, we have simply not seen this affect our clients in the surrounding areas we cover. This I feel is only a good thing as we continuously aim to increase rents upon renewal, whilst taking great care to best advise rental prices which are current and realistic.

If you are wishing to discuss the rental market or have a property you are considering letting out, then please feel free to get in contact with me. It would be a pleasure to discuss your options and tailor a package that best suit both you and your property’s needs.
