If you’re a sucker for character, then you’ve probably considered buying an old house. Period features make excellent selling points, and things as simple as open fires or exposed wooden beams can really add to property value. Here’s our advice on what you need to know when purchasing an older property.
Check its condition
Old houses are more likely to be rough around the edges than more modern properties. There might be structural damage, asbestos, or any number of other problems which could cause a headache later. Be sure to check for rodents too – they have a habit of...
Having traditionally been an area where homeowners have largely purchased property as buy to let investments, Exwick is now seeing a shift in buyer attitudes as young people are realising the value of living in the Exeter suburb and picking up properties for as little as £140,000.
According to Hatched’s newly appointed Exeter specialist, Michael Parsons, who has lived in and around Exeter all his life and has worked in estate agency for 15 years, a new generation of buyers are disregarding the rental history of the area in a bid to snap up more affordable first homes.
Uncertainty fuelled by the EU Referendum has resulted in a marked drop in activity in the South West housing market, according to the RICS UK Residential Market Survey, June 2016.
New buyer enquiries declined significantly across the UK in June, with 36% more chartered surveyors nationally reporting a fall in interest - this is the lowest reading since mid-2008. The South West fared somewhat better however, with just 4% more respondents reporting a decline in buyer demand (as opposed to a rise). Nevertheless, this does follow a particularly steep decline during May.

The vote for Brexit brings a new dawn for Britain, with considerable uncertainty and no real precedent.
Tim Western, head of the Exeter office of JLL, commented: "Even if it is effectively ‘business as usual' for the UK in terms of trade and legislation until 2018, such a major change will inevitably create uncertainty in the economy and real estate markets. In the event of a well-managed exit these impacts will be largely confined to the UK.
"In the short term we may see a weakening in occupier demand. The impact on rents may be limited by tight supply, but activity will...
Near term expectations for South West house prices turned slightly negative for the first time since 2013 according to the latest Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) Residential Market Survey.
The survey shows house prices in central London falling while prices are continuing to climb modestly across the rest of the UK. In the South West 25% more respondents said prices had risen rather than fallen over the last three months. This figure has fallen in each month since February when 73% more respondents reported a rise rather than a fall in prices.
