According to a recent study by Zoopla, 42% of adults aged 18-39 who don’t own a home say they’ve given up on the idea of buying one in the next ten years. Perhaps unsurprisingly the three main reasons cited for these feelings include the cost of living crisis, increasing house prices and higher mortgage rates. 

 

Its well known that during the summer months, with homeowners and prospective buyers getting away on holiday, the property market tends to calm a little and often the question of ‘is now the right time to sell?’ arises. 

Durden & Hunt are delighted to announce their Ongar office has won the British Property Award for Ingatestone & Ongar for the second year running.

 

After winning gold in 2022, to secure the coveted award again this year the team performed outstandingly throughout the extensive and comprehensive judging period, which focused on customer service.

At this time of year, with sunny days and warm weather, its natural for our minds to drift to the great outdoors. A thoughtfully designed outside area can not only add to the value of your home, and its attractiveness to potential buyers, but also to the usability and enjoyment of the space whilst you are living there. In essence it can act as an additional room to your home, so now could be the perfect time to undertake a few updates. 

In essence, a fully managed letting service simplifies your life as a landlord. Simply buy a property, then let your letting agent take care of everything else while you take a step back, enjoy your life, and get a good return on your property investment! Like so much in life, there is more to being a landlord than meets the eye.
