HOW CAN YOU BEAT THE SLOW DOWN TO CHRISTMAS AND STILL WIN THE PRIZE OF YOUR DREAM PROPERTY IN EDGWARE OR BUSHEY AND THE SURROUNDING AREAS?

Everyone in the property industry knows that this is the time of year when traditionally the market normally quietens down in the run up to Christmas and the New Year, and this year has already proven to be one of the toughest markets in a decade and a half.

Every report you read talks about nine months of house price reductions, increasing mortgage rates and buy to let landlords selling their portfolios.

At Benjamin Stevens Estate Agents, we have been helping people in Edgware, Bushey and the surrounding areas, buy and sell their properties for over 20 years.

We know that with the right broker and estate agent it is possible to find a great deal now, fix a mortgage under the 5% mark finally and buy that long-term home.

Don’t despair, if you can find an affordable home in your local Edgware or Bushey area now and plan to stay long term, then this is in fact a great time to buy!

If your agent is honest about the real price of your property too, it is also a great time to sell.

With less properties being sold, conveyancing process is also quicker, so risks of sales falling through is coming down.

First steps are to speak to any of our experience team here at Benjamin Stevens Estate Agents.

By ensuring your property is priced correctly, coupled with only serious buyers really looking, now is a great time to secure the best buyer on your property. 

Also discuss with us your onward purchase too as they have many people who are prepared to make the right deal without being plastered across the portals.
