Five reasons to feel cheerful about the property market in Wembley

A feelgood Friday property special – A 2-minute read.

Five reasons to feel cheerful about the property market in Wembley
Eggs-citing design
Architects have designed a floating chicken farm. Yes, really. The three-storey creation will nestle on a concrete pontoon in a Rotterdam waterway, in The Netherlands. It will house 7,000 hens, an egg processing plant, and a cress farm.
So, what do the neighbours think?
As the chicken farm will go next to an existing floating dairy, we don’t expect them to have any beef with the plans.

Market rebounds
New figures from the Zoopla Property Index show house prices are on an upward trajectory.

Zoopla found house prices were up 2.4% year on year in May. It also predicts property prices in the next quarter will grow by between 2 and 3%.

Micro homes for rough sleepers
Six “micro homes” have been built on church land in Cambridge as part of an innovative project to help the homeless.
As well as getting a roof over their heads, rough sleepers who move into the self-contained pods will receive counselling and support.
The micro-homes, which are easy to relocate, will stay on their present site for three years.
After this time, they could be moved to a new location. Let’s hope we see more being done to help the homeless.

Coastal dreams
New research from Rightmove shows that Whitby in Yorkshire is the most in-demand seaside location in the UK – up in popularity by almost 5% in a year. The figures are based on inquiries for properties available for sale in the area.
Whitley Bay, Tyne and Wear, was second, followed by Troon in Ayrshire, Scotland.
The most expensive seaside destination though remains Sandbanks, in Poole, where the average cost of a home is £1,243,364.

Back to business
Another positive sign that we’re all getting back to normal is that the Scottish housing market will reopen for business next week. Lettings and estate agents can open their doors from Monday (June 29). Viewings can also take place as long as social distancing measures are observed.

This follows the partial reopening of the housing market in Wales. Viewings can now take place at unoccupied Welsh properties. House moves can also go ahead providing the property has been vacant for 72 hours.

The world of property is emerging strongly after the lockdown, which is good news for anyone looking for a new home.

We want the people of Wembley to know that we are optimistic about the future and determined to continue to serve our community.
Whatever your property needs are, we’re here to help.

Happy Weekend!!

Meet Abigail

  Hello, my name is Abigail, and I am the Grey in Grey & Co. I started working here in 2002 as a Junior Negotiator and have worked my way up the ranks since then. I took over running the company in 2014 and have been enjoying the roller coaster that is leadership ever since.   During my 20 plus years at Grey & Co I have dealt with the sale of over £100,000,000 worth of property and overseen the management of assets worth £250,000,000 for clients around the world.   I also had the pleasure of working with my father, the founder of Grey & Co, for 15 years before he sadly passed away and from him, I learnt the work hard ethic and our values today are still the ones that he founded the company on all those years ago.   Be Remarkable, Be Passionate, Be Humble and Be Better.   As a community centric boutique family agency, you couldn’t find a better partner to take with you on your property journey.
