Musings of a London Property Search Agent

Regular readers know that we have commented on the mini-boom in the London residential property market in recent weeks and the big question on all agents lips is whether or not it will continue.  The summer months usually mean buyers and sellers take a break from the property hunt while the kids are off school, but the heat wave this year has put a dampener on things as Londoners put off the big move in favour of relaxing in the sun.

For 5 or 6 weeks now, agents have been bemoaning the lack of property they have to sell and complaining about the ‘tens of buyers’ they have for every property.  Likewise, London Property Search Agents like ourselves have been predominantly doing off-market property deals for over a year now, but those who normally rely almost exclusively on estate agents have had to play catch up and try to adopt alternative means of finding property, as we do.

However with the heat wave predicted by many to continue into the weekend, viewings across London are down as would-be buyers ditch the property search for the pool, despite some forecasts predicting heavy showers again this weekend.   With a hot summer on the cards this year, agents and London Property Search Agents are wondering if the traditional summer lull will come early.

As for us, your friendly London Property Search Agents in the know, are thinking it may have already begun - which is great news for property hunters, hungry for a bargain unafraid of the heat.  Incidentally, all our cars have air-con, so no excuses then!
