Estate agent says 2012 is looking positive
A PARTNER at a Harborough estate agents says he can see the signs of a long-awaited property market turnaroundin 2012.
James Abbott, based at Strutt and Parker in High Street, said the year is showing similar signs to 2009, in which there was a positive shift in the market.
He added: “The British mentality of getting on with things is showing signs of re-emergence again in 2012 and there is no doubt this has stimulated the country market.
“We are seeing a renewed amount of interest and confidence in the market but still critical to achieving a successful sale is realism in pricing.
“Apart from a few spectacular deals, at the top end, the country market is still suffering with fewer bonuses coming out of the City.
“Despite the change in sentiment, sales are taking longer to exchange than before – what is key is to be well prepared before you come to the market so once the buyer is found a deal can be concluded as soon as possible.”
