Summer is drawing to a close, and the buyers are beginning to return to the market, this has been an unusually hot Summer, which hasn't helped the buyer's enthusiasm, but as the temperatures cool, we are registering a higher level of applicants.

The uncertainty surrounding Brexit still continues, with buyers reluctant to make decisions unless they feel that they are getting value for money, there are many properties being reduced in price, with valued down between 3 and 5 % over the last calender year. There are more properties available to choose from compared to this time last year, but the signs are for an improving market, with Housing associations now re-entering the fray, now could be the last time to buy, houses may never be as cheap again.
