2020 has brought with it both crazy and challenging times for us all and who would ever have thought that such a major property boom would emerge now after lock down? Of course, for many, it continues to be an extremely difficult and unsettling time but, for many others, opportunities have arisen that only 6 months ago would have been unthinkable.
We have seen many clients coming to us who believe home working, at least for part of the week, will be the new norm and as such the potential to move out of London and avoid the daily commute has become a real option for many. Here at Fiona Penny Bespoke Home Finders we have always had many clients wishing to move out of London to the beautiful Kent and East Sussex countryside. A natural progression from enjoying all that London has to offer when single and newly married to looking for a more rural, village life with young children and gaining more house and garden space for your money than in London. COVID-19 has just meant that an even greater number of families are making this leap. However, the market is also experiencing a severe lack of housing stock and reluctance by sellers to put their homes on the market at this time which has resulted in a huge imbalance between buyers and sellers, especially in the country house market. This means that, now more than ever, our approach and help can really make a huge difference to your search and success in securing your dream home. With our close working relationships with all those involved in the housing market, including all the local estate agents, land agents, architects and property developers etc. we can really make a difference in finding, viewing and securing off market properties for you before they hit the online websites. If you would like to know more about how we work and how we can help you please take a look at our website or call us on 01580 713825
