LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL?

Royston & Lund Estate Agents are delighted to report increased activity in the run up to Christmas and the New Year.

December is traditionally a quiet month in the property market.  However, sales for December 2008 compared with December 2007 were up by 50%, viewings increased by 41% and the number of applicants taken onto the mailing list was up by 24%.  This increase in overall activity has thankfully carried on into the New Year.

Director, Christopher Royston commented "At last, it is great to see an increase in activity levels.  The combination of realistic pricing and vendor expectations, the stamp duty holiday and low interest rates would appear to be making the purchase of a property more attractive.  We have recently witnessed the reappearance of the property investor who, frustrated by the low savings rates currently on offer, are beginning to reinvest in the property market."
