Spring has officially sprung, and with it, a renewed motivation-to-move is gradually beginning to emerge among investors and home-buyers alike.
In a 'normal' economic climate, this uptick in market activity might be credited solely to seasonality (the lure of a 'move in time for summer.') This year, however, there's also the legacy of last week's 'Spring Budget' to thank, as would-be movers now have some assurance, at least, of financial stability on the horizon.
Among the key take-homes from the budget announcement - beyond the extension of the energy price cap - was the forecast by the Office of Budget Responsibility, that inflation may well fall below 3 per cent by the end of the year - sooner than has previously been predicted.
This news has inevitably helped breathe new life into the Maidenhead property market, specifically, which as a result has seen a plethora of new and exciting properties coming to market in the last month alone.
Among them, this four bedroom family home in the popular riverside area of Maidenhead, just a short distance from the River Thames and town centre amenities.
Also, this delightful four bedroom town house, which provides approximately 1657 sq.ft of living space, and is just approximately 0.2 Miles of the mainline railway station (Paddington/Elizabeth Line).
Furthermore, Braxton are also pleased to offer to the market, this extended four double bedroom semi-detached family home, situated in a quiet cul-de-sac within walking distance of Maidenhead town centre.
Summary
Understandably, the ongoing cost of living crisis means there is still a high degree of caution being demonstrated among home-movers and investors. However, with the general consensus that peak interest rates have already been reached (the current expectation is 4.25%), many buyers might potentially be finding themselves now, in the best position they've been in since last October, to confidently set the selling and/or buying wheels in motion.
