We are very pleased to see quite a significant increase in first time purchasers at the moment. This could be due to some Landlords now selling historic investment properties due to current tax implications which is offering some good opportunities to new buyers entering the market place. Also, first time purchasers are now confident about entering into what is classed as a “softer” market, therefore securing a more competitive price on a property than in previous years. Sam Everett – Director of Taylor Made commented “Its certainly encouraging to see more first time purchasers than 24 months ago and long may it continue”
