Despite the current economic climate, there’s at least some good news for buyers and sellers this Christmas, with a recent survey carried out by Home Sale Network amongst its members indicating that the New Year is a good time to sell. Bah Humbug?? Not according to the vast majority[1] of Home Sale Network estate agents, who took part in the survey.
Due to the continuing low interest rates, 95% of Network estate agents state that early 2012 is a good time to sell your property. Indeed, ALL survey respondents believe that interest rates will continue to remain low during the first quarter of next year, so if you’re thinking of selling, contact Coast & Country on 01626 366966, www.sales@cacia.co.uk.
And for all those first time buyers out there... make sure you don’t miss out on the Stamp Duty holiday that is due to end on 24 March 2012. Giving first time buyers a reprieve from the 1% levy on properties purchased for £250,000 or less, the holiday is a good way to save a few pounds when buying your first home.
