SKY-HIGH HOUSE PRICES HERE TO STAY

Details
Hits: 1074

The record climb in house prices over the past year is not expected to lapse, according to Halifax. New figures published by the lender on Tuesday showed the average cost of a home hit a record £262,954 in August - a rise of 0.7% from July and 7.1% over the last 12 months.

The rise in prices has continued even as the stamp duty holiday tapered at the end of June. According to Halifax's Russell Galley, the 'structural factors' that have driven the record prices - such as a shortage of available properties and continued demand for extra space - look set to persist. As a result, he said, price gains made since the start of the pandemic 'are unlikely to be reversed'.

Customer Reviews

  • We are 100% satisfied and cannot recommend Fox Estates strongly enough. The team were extremely professional, friendly, and approachable from the minute we asked for a valuation right until completion. Their knowledge of the local area was spot on and made the difference on the sale of our house. We are grateful to Chris in particular for his attention to detail, responsiveness to emails and a willing pro-activeness to help keep things moving. I would not hesitate in recommending Fox Estates to my friends and family..

  • During my career I have come across many estate agents and Chris really is a true professional, with the highest standards of integrity and professionalism I have seen.

  • I instructed Chris to sell my house and when he found a buyer the sale went through in just over 6 weeks. His service was excellent and I would recommended him to anyone. A few months later my mum instructed him to sell her house and again he found a buyer and the sale progressed to completion without a problem. Chris is very knowledgeable and professional and he will give you a very helpful, friendly and attentive service. If you are thinking about buying or selling I would suggest you give him a call

I would recommend Chris Fox wholeheartedly.
