Musings of a London Property Finder

Given my career as a London Property Finder I have to work with Estate Agents on a daily basis so frequently meet the over-bearing ones, the brainless ones and the really great, knowledgeable, if perhaps optimistic property aficionados.  Yes - as a Property Finder - I’ve met them all and just which camp Philip Taylor would fall into, I don’t know but we loved him and now he’s gone!!   But all is not lost - inevitably he’ll be back to help the finalists win the last task - will Kate be one of the final two, I ask myself?  But until then perhaps I will run into him in the flesh.   Many Estate Agents employ casual staff, including actors, musicians, comedians and wannabe TV stars just waiting for their big break, so we will watch with interest and let you know if we meet Philip from The Apprentice any time soon. 

Which leads me to Kirsty.  She’s probably not the first person to buy next door to dodgy neighbours and she won’t be the last!  But if you’re looking to buy in London and you want to know who’s next door then talk to us as we do a huge number of checks not only on the property purchased but also on them next door, or the next few doors, to be precise!

To the more mundane - the Bank of England has maintained interest rates at 0.5% as predicted, as they wait to see if the quantitative easing measures announced earlier this year have worked as planned.  Certainly the country seems a happier place than it has done for a while - clearly we are all fed up of doom and gloom, however given the house price indices published yesterday (see yesterday’s post for more), house prices are continuing to go down in the capital.  So it’s still a Buyer’s market and since we’re doing so much off-market at the moment - a London Property Finder’s dream!
