Villages by the sea are typically the most sought-after places to live within their local markets. This demand means that most prime listings in these desirable hotspots are sold off-market and experience strong competition. Working with a buying agent can present significant advantages; sourcing exclusive opportunities and applying their years of experience to successfully secure property for their clients. The appeal of coastal living, whether as a main residence or second home is reflected in the unwavering demand for properties in these types of locations.   We explore several charming coastal villages in our latest blog.

After months of meandering, the market is back in gear and gaining traction.   The property market has kicked off 2024 with a notable surge in activity. Rightmove's 'Boxing Day Bonanza' saw a 26% increase in new listings and an astounding 84% rise in website traffic. Buyer enquiries leapt by 273%, a significant uptick from 2022.   Echoing this surge, Zoopla observed a notable increase in buyer interest, outpacing pre-pandemic levels. Meanwhile, the mortgage landscape is evolving, with major lenders cutting rates and offering competitive deals. The average five-year fixed rate is now at 5.55%, with some lenders offering rates below 4%.   The market is also benefiting from the highest product choice in 15 years, indicating a stabilizing mortgage sector. According to the Bank of England, November saw a 4.6% increase in mortgage approvals, 9.9% higher year-on-year.   While it's still early, these positive trends signal a potential rebound in market interest.
