Summer can lead to the property market being a little quieter but that’s certainly not the case at Beresfords. Comparing July 2014 against
2015, our branches have reported a 16% increase in the number of properties sold. Country Homes properties in particular have seen a
dramatic fourfold plus increase during the same period.

Pressure is building in the market fuelled by good levels of demand and the limited availability of new stock. We are taking many positives into
the autumn market but need more houses to sell across the price spectrum; we recommend acting soon if you are thinking of selling now.

The 2015 housing market continues to outstrip expectations across the Eastern region. The Cambridge property bubble is phenomenal and
is regularly outstripping prices achieved in some areas of prime central London. Competition among purchasers is creating exceptional sales
figures with record sales figures regularly being achieved.
Saffron Walden, Newmarket, Ely and Haverhill continue to be popular hotspots for those buyers looking for accessible and regular transport
links into both Cambridge and London. A number of buyers are keen to get a foothold in these popular locations with prices remaining robust
to satisfy demand.
Cheffins’ Residential team predict a buoyant end to the year and have high expectations for 2016 with research suggesting that we can expect
year on year prices increases across all our offices.

The Suffolk market was extremely busy during late spring and the summer months. Autumn has continued to be active with enthusiastic buyers
snapping up what is available. There is a general lack of property coming to the open market with many potential sellers stating that they are keen
to launch next spring. 2016 looks like it will be busy.

House prices in the East Midlands have seen modest growth recently. However, a 6% increase is anticipated over the next 12 months. The
number of applicants searching for properties between £250k to £500k is very high. Properties in villages south of Lincoln and north of
Grantham with guide prices in excess of £300k are particularly desirable due to the fact that local residents can be at Kings Cross in 66
minutes on the train.
