Free! - 23 Hours and 50 minutes


The news for the property market just gets better and better. Mark Carney has now stated that even if the unemployment threshold he set at 7% before he would consider increasing interest rates is achieved, he still won't consider increasing  rates for the foreseeable future. He has also confirmed that increases when they eventually come will be gradual and will remain lower than before the crisis. This is fantastic news for buyers and homeowners and again proves that there has never been a better time to buy. Cheap mortgages are available and so long as buyers have a 5% deposit then now is the time to buy. The Governor of the Bank Of England also confirmed that the UK economy has the strongest growth in the developed world so confidence is high and the market is set to grow further. I have said previously that nothing is spiralling out of control and the modest 3.5% increase seen in 2013 should be similar again for the South West in 2014. In the world of estate agency that just means that here at Bradleys we are actively seeking new instructions to feed the increasing supply of buyers. It is documented that 25% of sellers make a snap decision  on choosing an agent based on no more than 24 hours' worth of research. I for one, if I was one of those vendors would do myself a favour and cut the research to just a very quick 10 minute search on allAgents.co.uk to see who delivered the best customer service in my area and therefore save my self the other 23 hours and 50 minutes of research! Equally it is also well documented that 40% of vendors research and consider their choice of agent for 4 - 6 months before taking the plunge and giving their instructions. Those people will make their choice based on all the factors needed to gain a good rating on allAgents.co.uk so think how much time those people could save? Why take chances with the sale of your most important asset, trust Bradleys, the agent with a proven, tried and tested track record as confirmed by their customers. If you are thinking of selling then use allAgents to choose your agent, you can read the reviews given by Bradleys previous very happy customers, I guarantee it will save you time, money and heartache.
