The good news is that we're starting to see signs of life returning to the property market after what seems like an interminable August. Without wishing time away, like many of the agents that we speak with, we're delighted that September is finally with us and buyer interest is definitely on the increase.
One trend that we've spotted is "seller resentment" as we have coined the phrase. This is where a buyer has negotiated a lower price for a property and the seller feels (inevitably) rather hard-done by, and is therefore far less likely to be amenable to giving in on any demands during the conveyancing process.
Completely understandable, but it does make life rather difficult for all involved in the process - let's hope that with an increase in activity, that this issue will start to become history.
