Sale market

After a steady first quarter, as we moved into the Spring of 2019 prices had certainly moved in an upward direction, and we there has been an influx of new buyers coming to Glasgow.

The first three months had seen a slight drop in average prices, but the increase in demand has steadily pushed prices higher, particularly at the bottom end of the market, allowing sellers to move to the next level.

We are regularly achieving sales at prices over the Home Report value, with many continuing going to closing dates owing give the competition for the limited stock available.

The early part of the year has seen first time buyers ready to take the plunge and enter the market, tempted in part by the wide range of affordable mortgage deals currently available.

This increased level of buyer demand suggests that anyone thinking of selling now should seriously consider having their home valued with the aim of bringing the property to market and achieving a selling price over their initial expectations.

We continue to live with the uncertainty of Brexit, however the current situation makes for a fabulous time for vendors to make the decision to sell and tap into that additional level of demand.

Lettings update

The west end of Glasgow rental market continues to go from strength to strength with demand from tenants continuing to outstrip supply.

The second quarter of 2019 was again a very busy period with high levels of applicants for every property. Glasgow remains a magnet for new commercial developments and offices which in turns attracts employees, all of which has resulted in a sustained period of demand.

There is a high level of interest throughout the city especially for one to three bedroom properties and this, together with the number of tenants exceeding supply, are the primary drivers for the increase in monthly rents.

There remains strong demand for a wide range of properties in the local area, with prices ranging from £700 for a one bedroom flat to in excess of £1000 per month for 3 to 4 bedroom properties.

As we move further into 2019, Brexit uncertainty aside, we expect the market to maintain its momentum.
