I cannot deny that I have been concerned about the impending doom that had been predicted in and around the recent Referendum. And who really knows? Understanding property is what we do best and our experience so far would indicate that the market has slowed in pace although I question whether this is entirely Brexit related; we were extremely busy, sales-wise, in the preceding months and inevitably an overheated market will make its own adjustments.

House prices are always topical and yet, in reality, they are only really relevant to most individuals when they buy or sell. And even then, it is the relativity of pricing that matters: ‘how much do I need to find’ or ‘will I be able to pocket’ are common questions that figure at such times. That said, relevant pricing has always been central to a successful sale, good market or bad, and if we are in for a period of uncertainty sound advice will be key.

Maintaining confidence in our property market will be vital if we are in for some change and I believe that as a company we are well placed to advise: we have the experience to understand how to manage such change - we have qualified staff and a number of us have over thirty years in the industry; we have the enthusiasm and drive of our younger members of staff who have ambition to be the best; and above all we like what we do!

Keep calm then and we will do the rest.
