Following a very active 2013, we thought 2014 may slow down, and whilst the second half of the year was quieter, overall we increased the number of completed sales by the end of the year. JW Wood helped our clients to sell over £120 million worth of homes.

Interest rates have remained at an all-time low and it looks likely that they will remain low in the foreseeable future. Although financial regulations have been tightened up, mortgages are now available at sensible interest rates. Our independent mortgage advisors can help guide you through the tricky process and help you get the best possible deal.

Overall our homes did increased a little in value last year and I would expect them to do so again this year. We have not had the unsustainable rises seen in the South but a steady rise which I am sure will confirm that the decision to buy will prove to be the right one.

If at this time of year you are wondering what to do, whether to move, upsize or downsize why not arrange for one of our experienced and professional valuers to provide you with a free consultation. Their expert knowledge and experience will assist you with making your decision and we look forward to offering you sound independent advice.
