It seems as though there is a new study questioning what buyers look for in a property every month or so these days.
However, when you think of the challenges and changes that have occurred in the past 12 months, it is no surprise to learn people have changed their mind over what matters most to them.
This is a “seller’s market” right now, and if you currently own property in Finchley, that you are looking to sell, we can help.
Even though people have moved away from London, you might be surprised at the level of demand that still exists for homes in the capital. Demand still outstrips the supply of property, and this is true for Finchley, as it is for many areas of London.
Looking to connect with Finchley buyers? We can help
While this abundance of demand is positive news for vendors, you cannot be complacent. At David Harris & Co, we are pleased to say we have helped many vendors connect with buyers. We are extremely proud of our reviews, and you can view these for yourself on our website, or on our Google page.
We know the local market well, and we know what Finchley has to offer. In many ways, our local area provides the best of both worlds, something which is very much in demand these days. We know what buyers are looking for when they search for homes, and this helps you to connect with these motivated buyers.
We also stay in touch with the latest studies and surveys. If you want to make an informed decision in the property market, contact us today, and we will do our best to assist you.
The findings from the study, commissioned by GetAgent, were as follows:
· 38% of homeowners said owning property was their main aspiration
· 45% of respondents said that there was more to property ownership than having a roof over their heads, and it’s important that their home fits with their lifestyle
· A further 17% of respondents said it was very important that their home fits with their life
The survey also asked people to rank what was important to them in their home, with the following results:
· 24% of respondents said safety was a priority
· 20% said size was a priority
· Energy-efficiency was stated by 19% of respondents
· 8% said having a garage
· 6% said having a garden mattered
· A home bar mattered to 4% of respondents
· 3% of respondents stated an integrated media system mattered
People want to love their home
Colby Short, Founder and CEO of GetAgent.co.uk, commented: “There’s no doubting we’re a house-proud nation but the definition of being house proud has certainly evolved over the years. Gone are the days of presenting a pristine show home to impress friends and family and today, we love to put our own unique stamp on our properties in all manner of ways.”
Colby concluded by saying; “For some, it’s energy-efficient improvements such as solar panels, for others a space to get their hands dirty working on their latest project is important. Others prefer to entertain, while the latest technology integration or entertainment system makes some of us tick. Whatever it is, we love to spend time at home doing the things we love and so it’s no surprise that they’ve become more of an extension of who we are rather than simply a roof over our heads.”
