January has got off to a great start with a steady stream of property instructions coming to the market and sales being agreed. An increasing number of call outs to value property indicates a renewed interest in moving home in 2015 and that more people want to get a handle on the current value of their property after the strong growth in values during 2013 and the first half of 2014.

2015 promises to be an eventful year with an election forthcoming with different housing promises from all parties, growing consensus interest rate rises may be pushed back even further, the mortgage market review fully embedding as the new norm and the changes in stamp duty beginning to affect pricing in the market.

The fact remains whatever happens to rates and prices a proportion of people will move; for education, for work, to suit a growing or shrinking family so whatever your needs contact your local branch of Mackenzie Smith for frank accurate advice and friendly professional service.
