Autumn Market Report
As another year draws close to an end, we start looking forward to festivities and new beginnings. At this time of year, the amount of new properties that come to the market naturally decreases, but buyer demand here at Julian Marks is still strong. This scenario creates a competitive environment as buyers chase a limited number of available quality properties. Our results speak for themselves. According to the Financial Times, mortgage providers point to a lack of properties for sale which has led to an increase in property values of 0.9% in October. If you are thinking about selling your home we would encourage you to get your house on the market now with Julian Marks to take advantage of the exposure our market-leading service uniquely provides.
The Bank of England has decided to hold the base interest rate at 5.25% for the second consecutive month. A decision to keep the rate static was widely expected with inflation at 6.7%, apparently under control, albeit not dropping.
