Welcome to the second edition of our e- newsletter.
It’s been a tale of boom in Rentals and autumnal lethargy in the sales market. The Student led lettings boom in the City has seen demand outstrip supply for the second successive year. This year we have rented out more than 330 homes to students a company record!
The sales market is already slowing down with fewer properties coming to the market, but there are still sales around although clearly way below the numbers of properties that were sold in 2006-2007. Investors are also back in the market as they feel the market is now producing some good returns plus there are some really good competitive funding arrangements to be had from banks & building societies.
Prices are stable as are interest rates and if this trend continues it should bring confidence and predictability in the sales market.
We hope you enjoy the read.

With a readership of over 33,000 we welcome feedback on which articles you like and those that you don’t. The newsletter is designed with a preference tick box to help tailor it to the articles that you are most interested in and we would encourage you to tick those boxes.
We can then deliver the news you are most interested in as the headline articles and look to focus more articles on what you’re interested in.
The New Year has seen promising levels of activities in terms of viewings, valuations and new people registering their interest in properties. There is a renewed interest in two key areas’ buy to let, as the yields are good, and families making the decision to move up the ladder.
We are very excited about our new auction venue, Liverpool Town Hall, our auction on the 15th February has a number of lot’s that have generated some real interest.
If you’d like any more information on any of the subjects discussed please contact our editor Natasha Goodwin na.goodwin@venmores.co.uk or myself rob@bflhomes.co.uk
We look forward to your feedback!

Changing Times...
It’s amazing how much this industry has changed since I started some thirty years ago.
Thirty years ago viewings in the evening were unheard of and Saturday viewings were a very much half hearted affair (if they happened at all.) The ‘old ways’ also included no websites or portals from where we get more than two thirds of our enquires, no mobile phones (how did we run a business without them?), limited and expensive magazine advertising, no property misdescriptions act and therefore ridiculously ‘flowery’ property descriptions.
How times have changed and, in most cases, for the better.
Our clients want pro active sales people acting on their behalf, they want a great service where they can trust the integrity of the Agent acting for them. They expect intelligent marketing, evening and week end appointments and a good result, in short they want to enjoy the experience and the result.
In my view there are still very few Estate Agency practices that have got the balance right. In some Agencies you may enjoy the experience as the people are ‘nice’ but you’re not quite sure if they’ve got you the best result, whilst in others you hate the experience but consider the outcome pretty good.
Surely as an industry we can do better than this and this is our focus at the Estate Agency Companies we run. The two outcomes are not mutually exclusive, you can enjoy the experience and the result, and the longer our competitors do nothing about it, the happier I am!
Enjoy the read and as always please let us have your feedback whether it’s positive or negative!
