The Jackson Grundy Blog

For those of you who have been following our Blog, you will be aware that we have been covering the progress of a local refurbishment project in Duston, Northampton.

The programme of works has now been completed and in fact the house was sold before even officially reaching the market! An endorsement of both the quality of the work carried out and Jackson Grundy’s ability to match customers to the right properties quickly! As such, we would like to think that all parties involved were very pleased with the experience and we wish the new owners happy times ahead in their new home.

The impact and usefulness of Social Media within the Property Industry would still seem to be a topic up for debate in 2014. From the perspective of Estate Agents, at least in some part, I suspect this is due to the unavailability of a reliable gauge of its effectiveness in increasing the turnover of its business. This is, of course, irrelevant to the benefits it provides house buyers and sellers, which I believe can no longer be disputed.

Facebook pages, Twitter feeds and Property blogs are all examples of valuable resources that can be tapped, for free, by those interested in property.

It’s time for a pictorial update of the refurbishment project we have been following.

Just as a reminder, an accommodating local developer has allowed us access to his project on Main Road in Duston. The general idea is to provide those who are interested with something of an insight in to a refurbishment project at various stages of completion.

I thought it might be interesting, and possibly helpful, for me to document the progress of the refurbishment of a local property.

A year is a long time in the Housing market, and the market has experienced a significant change of characteristics over the last 12 months.

At  Jackson Grundy, we have seen a marked increase in the turnover of property through 2013. That said, we are now noticing a significant shortening of supply.
