Nick Clegg was on the TV over the weekend being totally evasive
to very direct questioning about his and the Muppet Cable's plans for a mansion
tax if they get to have any influence after the next election. What he did say
that was quite revealing was, whilst all the property commentators are calling
for the 'help to buy' scheme to be withdrawn because the market in London is
rising quickly right now, the rest of the country still needs the scheme and
the government cannot just legislate for London. He was completely aware of all
of the stats regarding prices and lending and had obviously been in a meeting
to discuss the future of the scheme which looked to me like it will now go
ahead. That can only lead to a strengthening of the market and again is why if
you are thinking of buying then do it now if you are able because prices will
rise.
We are starting to see the market evolve when we sold more
than we took on in August and the same is happening again in September. If this
continues and stocks drop then we will surely see an increased demand which
will force prices up through natural market demand.
I have just come back from attending a meeting of the
Property Academy on internet marketing and that has given me great insight on
what Bradleys should be doing with Facebook but also was further proof that
review sites are what customers listen to in this day and age and I am
delighted to confirm we rank so favourably on allAgents.
After the meeting in Bishops Stortford I took Enid to London
for the weekend to celebrate her 50th birthday where we met up with our daughter Lisa who now
lives in London and all went out on Saturday night to celebrate. Enid is
slightly unhappy about being 50 and has kept it low profile so I am only
sharing this on my blog as I know nobody will comment!
