Viewing days are us!

16.05.2022

You will have seen in the press that despite rising interest rates and geopolitical problems, the housing market continues to defy expectations and prices continue to rise.  In our area this is particularly because there are less properties available than usual. Maybe this is because so many people moved house already in the last 2 years.  Some agents are having problems getting new stock but we are regularly bringing new properties to market. But because of the lack of other supply we are having to manage viewings and competing offers in a careful and structured way to be fair to all parties. On successive Saturdays we’ve had launch days with multiple viewings and most times offers going over the asking price. This Saturday we had a launch day on a 3 bedroom house with over 30 viewings.  The previous Saturday we had multiple  viewings on a house in Tudor Drive. We had offers up to £75,000 more than the asking price, which is actually not that uncommon in the current frenzied market.   We never advertised this property on Rightmove, – we just offered it to our extensive list of buyers already registered with us. So to make sure you don’t miss new properties please keep an eye on our own website for updates but do call us on 020 8549 5099 or email mail@mervynsmith.co.uk to register your interest for new properties coming on. Equally if you are interested in selling in a discreet manner without public marketing you can also talk to us in confidence.
