Henley and Jones estate agents are in the business of selling property, and as such, hold our potential
purchasers in the same high regard as our vendors. Without buyers we would not be able to sell, and without selling,
we would not have a business.
Buying a property in 2009 has undoubtedly become more difficult for those seeking higher loan to value mortgages.
Financial institutions are more reluctant to offer mortgages and their lending criteria have become far more restrictive.
Substantial deposits are now required from first-time buyers and the property chain has become static as newcomers to
the property market are having difficulty with their financial arrangements.
Although it is more difficult to raise finance for property, it could be argued that there has never been a better
time to buy! With the recent downward pressure on property prices many homes that were possibly unattainable are now
within more people´s reach. Cash buyers and those with significant deposits are particularly fortunate to be able to
buy properties at advantageous prices. They will benefit greatly in the long term as property prices increase again
giving a good return on their investment.
There are now positive signs of renewed interest in the property market. This is clear to us from the sheer level of enquiries
we are receiving and the upturn in agreed sales. With lenders now committing to increase the availability of mortgages it could
be argued that this is an excellent time to buy!
