Northfields

A clearer view on local property prices

The housing market is, of course, slowing. But that's potentially a good thing. The rate of growth in bricks and mortar in the last 10 years was not ever going to be sustainable in the long run.

So, just because the rate of growth of house prices is slowing, it doesn't mean we face a huge crash. To put this into a local context, in 1988 a typical two-bedroom terraced house off Northfield Avenue, W13 would have cost you between £70,000 and £80,000. Today we are marketing quite a few of them and they will now cost you between £400,000 and £430,000 - an increase of over 400%!

So how can we help you to feel confident? Personally, I think that we all need to work together smartly, and here's my commitment to do just that:

• Smart pricing will avoid stagnation
• Targeted marketing ensures that we reach the right buyers
• Regular feedback sessions ensure we give you up-to-the-minute advice
• Focussed sales progression will guarantee a smooth sale.
