According to the Office of National Statistics yesterday, the UK is officially out of recession. They used Britain’s GDP for the last three months of 2009 as their measure of economic health, but here at Callum Roberts we use property prices and number of sales as our measure of the economy. And I am happy to report that in the property market in Central London we are seeing signs of green shoots as well.
Since the start of the year we have had more and more buyers come into the office looking for property to buy of all shapes and sizes and at all price points. The problem is that we are running out of properties to offer them. Normally when someone comes in looking for a one bedroom flat in Bloomsbury or Clerkenwell we would have three or four to show them. At the moment we only have one left and it looks like I’ll be getting an offer on that this week as well!
In fact, there has been a significant lack of properties put for sale in Central London in the last couple of months. Generally everyone who had to sell due to a job loss or lack of capital did so at the end of 2008. Most owners in the area can afford to wait until buyers are plentiful and property prices come back up. This means that the few properties which do go on the market tend to sell quickly for close to the asking price. Property prices in several areas have come back up to close to their peak.
However, there are indications that more properties will be coming up for sale in the spring as the UK begins to recover from the recession. If you are a looking to sell your property, now is a great time to put your property on the market as the lack of other properties for sale means demand, and prices, remains high.
A pleasant two double bedroom 5th floor apartment that is located on Mount Pleasant. Mount Pleasant is a very quiet Road situated between Grays Inn Road and Rosebery Avenue and is walking distance to Chancery Lane Underground Station. This flat features a large entrance hallway and reception room with wood bock flooring, separate modernized fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms and a modernized bathroom with separate WC. This property is very well presented and offers good sized accommodation.
A studio flat ideally located for both Kings Cross & Euston mainline and underground stations, but also Russell Square underground station. Located within this purpose built block, this property has been recently redecorated and features a pleasant west facing studio room, separate kitchen and three piece bathroom. As with all flats within this block, this property has access to a very pleasant private garden.
Hello all, my name is Shannon Fizer and I am the new Sales and Lettings Negotiator here at Callum Roberts.
I have just finished the coursework for my MBA in Finance and am working on my thesis. I'm a Canadian who has been living overseas for several years, most recently in Zurich, Switzerland.
For those who wonder why I would leave such a lovely place as Canada, I have to say that I am from a small town in the middle of the dull empty bit in the middle of the country. I am most definitely a city person, but I’ve never experienced anything like London before! So much history and so much going on all the time, plus great shopping, I love it. Although one of the funniest things is that I am probably one of the few people to arrive here and think that property prices are cheap – because compared to prices in Zurich, they are!
I am really looking forward to working for Callum Roberts, where I can do both sales and lettings, all in the heart of London. There is so much to learn about the different neighborhoods in Central London, such as Bloomsbury, Clerkenwell and the City. Each area has its own unique selling points and beautiful buildings. Already I am regaling my parents with stories of celebrities passed in the street (I bumped into Rupert Everett on my second day!) and flats for sale in ‘famous’ buildings such as Florin Court (which is better known as the home of Hercule Poirot in the TV series).
I look forward to meeting everyone in the neighborhood, so please drop by the office soon.
