Buyers And Tenants Are Out There And Looking - In Force

Property page views of property for sale and to let in Chard's core areas of central London were up 12.39% in April 2008 compared to March 2008.

At the same time the number of visitors to our website was also up by 10.04 % for lettings and 17.39% for sales, again as measured against the previous month.

Our sales and lettings offices are remarkably busy with applicants. The top of end the market £5M+ sales and £1500+ per week lettings is unusually busy, in particular in South Kensington, Kensington, Holland Park and Notting Hill. What's missing is an air of confidence at mid-price range flats to sell and to let. Judging by the number of people looking, as soon as buyers feel more confident, we could even be looking at price increases in 2008.
