While house prices in key London locations remain buoyant, many landlords – or those looking to invest in property – are having to work harder to find a bargain. Whilst it might seem as though the continuing economic crisis would throw the property world into disarray, London is ticking along quite nicely, with increased rental prices and good properties still attracting good offers. However, head over to the auction houses and it’s another story.

Selling Tips
If you’re a developer with a newly refurbished property, or you’re a seller in a competitive market, it’s imperative that you choose the right agent to market your property and ensure it’s as viewer-friendly as possible. But it’s also important to pick the best time for your house to hit the marketplace. Clearing the clutter a month before you had planned to nail the ‘for sale’ sign to the fence, or holding off over a particularly quiet patch, could pay off in the long run and get you closer to your asking price.

Selling Tips
If you are currently looking to buy a property in the area you will have noticed that there is very little around to choose from. Buyer demand is still extremely strong and there is only a trickle of new properties coming on to the market. This combination of factors should ensure that prices remain strong over the next few months.

Selling Tips
When choosing which agent to market your property with there are many factors to consider. You may get in 2 or 3 agents for valuations with each suggesting a different figure. But it is all too easy to automatically choose the agent who promises you the highest price.

It’s been three months since we last wrote about the state of the market here on the blog. At the time we had a tentative feeling that a recovery may be occurring - three months on and those commentators that predicted doom at the start of the year are publishing updates quicker than a Michael Jackson biographer.

It's not easy to be optimistic about the sales market at the moment but this being the first post on our new blog I thought should try. Amongst all the gloom and doom there has been some evidence of a pick up in activity since the turn of the year so maybe we can start to look forward to better days ahead.
