I decided to sell one of my rental properties. Too many eggs in one basket, governments of all colours hate buy to let landlords, I can only see future governments making things even more difficult.
Anyway, east Manchester, rough. The agent said it should sell easily but they all say that don't they? I was a bit sceptical but thought I'd give it a go. The agent wasn't kidding! 12 viewings in a week resulting in 3 offers, 2 of them at full asking price. Another 5 viewings tomorrow during which the agent will attempt to secure offers above the asking price.
I was expecting very little activity. What, with the uncertainty around Brexit, everyone apparently being skint etc. but the truth is the opposite of this, more viewings and offers than during the heady days of the 80's when everyone was gazumping each other.
What's going on?

What's going on? Houses in our neck of the woods (east cleveland N Yorkshire) are selling well too. Prices are reasonable though, but 'sold' boards seem to appear very quickly, certainly quicker than this time last year and the year before. The run up to Xmas is traditionally a bad time to market houses too. No idea why though. |

Virtually double what they were 6 years ago though. |

If you don't need to be down south for work or other reasons you would simply be mad not to buy a house here. Close to the sea and the North Yorkshire moors. What is not to like? |
