Round and round the garden...

Welcome news from a Clydesdale Bank survey this week – 40% of ‘second-steppers’ are finding the confidence to take their second step on the property ladder. This is up by 14% on the same period last year. Only one slight problem though – where are all the properties for them to buy? We currently have one of the worst property shortages for decades which, perversely, is pushing house prices upwards, to make them less affordable again! Maybe it’s time for those with excess capacity to ‘downsize’ and take advantage of this newly found confidence. Why not call for a FREE market valuation now?
