August 2020 Property Market Update
Well, it’s been an interesting few weeks for the UK property market with, unsurprisingly, the coronavirus pandemic dominating the sector.
But don’t think it’s all bad news, because it really isn’t. We at Huddersfield Sales & Lettings have seen a lot of activity in the Huddersfield area just recently, with asking prices and sold prices at a good level too. There is certainly demand, and it’s fair to say that the Chancellor’s Stamp Duty holiday has prompted more and more people to look at making a move.
It’ll be interesting to see what happens when that holiday comes to an end, but for the time being, the team at Huddersfield Sales & Lettings are certainly being kept busy!
Here’s a handy roundup of the highlights from us that covers what’s been happening in the housing market recently. (If you want to know more about the local market, drop us an email at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.)

If you’re looking to sell your home in Huddersfield, the first question you might have is, ‘how much is my home in Huddersfield actually worth?’ Technically, the answer is whatever someone is willing to pay for it, but that answer may not be satisfactory, because you have to put a price on your property once it is listed for sale and you don’t want to undervalue it. The answer you’re probably looking for is what the value is, based on the market, or what an estate agent says. But why not also calculate it yourself to see if it compares? If you know the value of your own home, it puts you in a better position to sell, as well as refinance or tap into the equity of your home. It also helps you understand your financial health overall, and if you’re selling your home, it can determine the kind of new home you can purchase on your budget.
Here are some tips on how to find your home’s value.

The process of selling your home in Huddersfield can be daunting, simply because there is so much to consider and plan. It can be especially stressful if you aren’t getting enough viewings on your property, and when you’ve had your home listed for sale for a while, that stress can rise.
Homes that are well-marketed and presented will get more viewings, and therefore receive offers from interested buyers. The longer your property stays on the market without any offers, the less chance you have of getting any without taking drastic measures such as reducing the price of the property. So, before it reaches that point, there are some steps that both you and the team at Huddersfield Sales & Lettings can take to entice people to view and to get your property sold faster. With this in mind, we have created a handy guide to help you attract more property viewings.
