The West Sussex Property Blog

A blog about West Sussex property matters created to keep our customers and the public up to date with the every day changes and ups and downs of the property market.

As a market leader in the area with years of experience we believe we are well placed to advise customers on the best possible route to sell, buy or rent their property. This blog will hopefully be interesting and at times amusing but most importantly informative. Enjoy...

Park House

Park House is an extraordinary property with a fascinating history and has just come onto the market for rental.

Just time for a quickie

Just Time for a Quickie Neil Moore gives some important advice for all those rushing to buy or sell a property by 31st March next year. When time is short, there’s always a quickie. A quick drink with friends or even a quick divorce can be very satisfying. But now another quickie has entered our lives. Completing a property sale or purchase before the end of March next year could be worth a great deal of money in Covid19, stamp duty exemptions.

Loo rolls and other flying objects

So many people are asking us about the property market at the moment. To provide some perspective, we often answer the question with a question. We ask, “Do you remember back in March, how loo rolls became difficult to find as they were flying off supermarket shelves?” “It would be hard to forget,” most people reply. So we say, “That’s what’s happened to property: houses are flying off our books.”

The New Normal

Now that buyers are freed from lockdown, will they revert to their old viewing ways? It is doubtful.

Playing the Ball

When we are back in the post-lockdown world, the press and various industry pundits will comment on the property market. Some will say that property prices will fall. Some will say there won’t be enough buyers or sellers. Some will try and talk the market up, and some will talk the market down.

Realism is our Vaccine

As we gradually emerge from lockdown the first question clients are asking us is how will the coronavirus influence property prices?

Adding £££s

So, you have spruced up the front of your property - having the exterior looking at its best is vital, as it persuades people to look at the interior. But now you don’t want to let viewers down when they choose to look inside....

Getting in Gear

Working through the pandemic is like riding a bike up a very steep hill. We have had to change gear. We will probably change gear again before this crisis is over. But one thing is very certain; we will be in the right gear when it’s all over.

The Value of Home

When we are over this emergency we will be here to understand your property needs and offer suitable and attractive solutions, because if there is one thing we do know a great deal about, it is the value of home. Our needs for what a home gives us will change, but it will not alter the local property market.  

How can we help during these uncertain times in our community

In these uncertain times we are sure of two things: we know how strong, supportive, and resilient our community is, and we are as confident about the property market now, as we were before we ever heard of COVID-19. Everyone needs somewhere to live, and our area is still the most wonderful place to reside, work and play....
