Why are you going into the auction market Powered By LetsBid Property?

In an ever changing market place, agencies need to be able to adapt to the new technologies and services available to them, with the modern method of auction, vendors are able to achieve a great price for their property in a much quicker time frame with less hassle of a standard sale. Not only is the platform fully controlled and observed via the agent, it offers the vendors an insight into the level of interest and bids being made on their property. Legal packs are prepared in advance by registered solicitors so buyers are able to have all the information they or their solicitor needs to act fast and move to an exchange within 28 days.

Where do you see the property market moving in the next 5 years?

The London property market will always be strong in my opinion, It has taken a slump in recent years but compared to other parts of the country it still remains pretty strong. With The City being one of the oldest and most established financial centres in the world, London has always had a  consistent and buoyant property market which appeals to many investors across the wold whether it be the busy central areas or all the way out to the suburbs, interest is always there. I firmly believe that once the “uncertainty” of the market is less evasive and Brexit is out the way this slump will recover and the London property market will see some of the best statistics it has seen in long time.

What advice would you give to Landlords or property investors in today’s market?

Being a landlord myself, I would advise any investor to look at the long term picture and forget any short term worries they may have, no one buys a property for a short term gain, investments from property arise in the long term so things like Brexit may be a worry but will we still be worrying about Brexit in 4 years? I doubt it. I would also advice any new or experienced landlord to make sure they are fully up to date with all the new legislation and tenants’ rights before going ahead with a let as any problems or mistakes could prove to be very costly.
