The Jackson Grundy Blog

The UK Housing Market seems to have become a key battleground upon which both ‘in’ and ‘out’ camps have thrust forward their unequivocal, yet diametrically opposed arguments. So what precisely are both sides predicting and why? Can history aid us at all in reaching a confident forecast? And will such speculation influence how the public vote anyway?

There are now a number of different companies, with a range of business models, each claiming to be able to successfully sell your home. As such, and often contrary to perception, there can be a wide variance of marketing and service levels offered to customers.

With this in mind, I felt it might be useful to summarise what Jackson Grundy offer their customers so they may make an informed comparison with other companies.

At Jackson Grundy our expertise is not limited only to sales; as such we have ‘picked the brain’ of one of our Residential Lettings Managers, Paul Jackson.

What follows is designed to be a helpful and informative overview of what the lettings market can offer you. As with previous posts it details advice based on years of experience in the sector but does not constitute financial advice.

The first thing I should point out is this post expresses my personal speculations on the housing market and house prices. It is an opinion based on my 19 years in the property industry and my current understanding of the market as it is now. It is not firm financial advice, which I am not qualified to give, and as such should not be taken on its own but rather together with other opinions or research.

Old stone and brick barns offer up the opportunity to convert attractive but unused buildings in to wonderful homes. I would therefore like to show you a fantastic example which has just come to the market with our Village Agency department. I feel ‘The Barn’ in Upper Heyford successfully combines practicality with the charm of original character features. This is a balance not always easy to achieve, however if carried out sympathetically the conversion will result in a home with a relaxing and serene atmosphere along with a sense of drama and aesthetic beauty. I’ll show you some of the highlights here and include a link to the website in case you’d like to review the full details.
