As one of the local areas market leading Estate Agents we have taken on board the current stock shortage and been listening to our clients current problems and frustrations.

Our observations lead us to the conclusion that current demand levels are making it close to impossible for buyers to secure their first choice property. We put this down to the fact that, approaching 85% of homebuyers in a study of various UK Estate Agents were not on the Estate Agent's mailing list before they viewed and subsequently bought their house through, according to research. We found this astonishing owing to the fact that it is also true that up to 1 in 5 properties do not get marketed on the main property portals as some vendors prefer to market their properties on a low profile basis. Demand outstripping supply meaning properties are frequently being sold prior to coming to the market.
