Just as the weather forecasters get it wrong (we never know whether it’s going to rain or shine this summer), so the economic forecasters and property analysts get it wrong as well. Who could have foreseen such buoyancy in the market, and, as we approach the end of the summer, with it’s very mixed weather, the property market is anything other than mixed. It continues to race ahead with not a cloud in sight, beyond all expectation and certainly beyond the forecasts of even the most optimistic commentators.

All landlords know the importance of Energy performance Certificates (EPCs). Without one, you cannot let property, and your rental property must be of a certain standard.

There are rumours that the criteria associated with EPCs in the rental market will change, and this could pose challenges for landlords. If a higher criterion is installed, many landlords will need to improve the energy-efficiency of their property.

At Fraser Reeves, we aim to provide local clients with the best standard of estate agent services. We stay in touch with clients, and this ensures we know what people want and need from the local property market.

We also stay in touch with the latest studies. When you consider the events of the past year or so, it is no surprise people are re-evaluating their home, and what is important to them.

If you have paid any attention to property market news, you will know there is significant activity in the market. There is huge demand for homes, and the supply of property cannot keep up with buyers’ wishes.

This alone is a big reason why vendors should consider selling their home. However, at Fraser Reeves, we pay close attention to what is happening in the local market, and what experts say about the national housing market.

At Fraser Reeves, we know how busy the current housing market is. We have seen the national figures, and we have dealt with many local buyers and vendors. There is significant demand for homes, and buyers are acting quickly.

A recent study into buyer behaviour would perhaps suggest buyers are rushing through the process. However, just because buyers now require fewer, and shorter, viewings, when looking at property, this doesn’t mean the quality of search has dropped.
