If you want your home to hit the market before Christmas then here are four tips to get a quick sale:

💷 Price realistically:

Over-ambitious pricing could put potential buyers off. If you place the property at a competitive price, you may get buyers competing which often results in bigger offers.

🎁 Picture Perfection:

Instruct your Estate Agent before putting up your Christmas decorations otherwise your pictures could look dated very quickly if your house doesn’t sell before the end of the holidays.

🎄 Deck the halls with restraint:

Don’t go overboard with your Christmas decorations because they can make your house look tacky. Too many decorations can detract from the property itself- keep things simple and classy.

⛄️ Conduct Viewings in Daylight:

Try to arrange viewings for during the day. If you arrange a viewing after work at 6pm, you won’t get the true experience of the property and buyers may want a second viewing before offering.

Get a free online valuation here within minutes and if you are then serious about moving, let me know so I can help you.

Many potential property tax cuts were trailed in advance of the Autumn Statement 2023. These included stamp duty changes for downsizers and cuts to inheritance tax.

Anyone hoping for a tax cut on their home move will be disappointed.

But among the "110 growth measures" included in Jeremy Hunt's speech were support for private renters and planning changes to encourage new building.

House building
The Chancellor promised to unlock new home building with £110 million over the next two years "to deliver high quality nutrient mitigation schemes unlocking 40,000 homes".

He also pledged £32 million to "bust the planning backlog and develop fantastic new housing quarters in Cambridge, London and Leeds, which will lead to many thousands of additional dwellings", as well as allocating £450 million to the local authority housing fund to deliver 2,400 new homes.

Mr Hunt also promised a consultation into new permitted development rights, which would allow any house to be divided into two flats, provided the exterior remains unaffected.

Housebuilders have cut back on construction targets since Kwasi Kwarteng's controversial mini-Budget in autumn 2022.

Challenges facing the industry include the closing down of the Help to Buy scheme in October last year, removing a significant cash injection to developers, while soaring mortgage costs have hit buyer affordability.

But many questioned whether the changes went far enough to deliver meaningful change.

Outra senior adviser and former Crest Nicholson Chief, Tom Nicholson, said: “Hearing the Chancellor address the planning backlog today was somewhat promising, but we need to see the 'meat in the sandwich' to verify if it's genuine reform.

"The housing crisis isn't just about numbers; it's about overcoming systemic hurdles. The persistent planning backlog stalls meeting housing needs. We must bridge intentions with actions for tangible change.

"A robust framework is essential, with mandatory housing targets for local plans, streamlining planning, reducing risks, and enabling prompt home construction.

"True reform means navigating regulations, wisely allocating resources, and fostering stakeholder collaboration. This creates an environment for swift housing development, meeting the UK's urgent needs.”

Renting
The cap on Local Housing Allowance will be lifted to the 30th percentile of local market rents.

Mr Hunt said: "Because rent can constitute more than half the living costs of private renters on the lowest incomes I have listened closely to many colleagues as well as the Institute for Fiscal Studies and the Resolution Foundation, citizens advice UK and the Joseph Rowntree Foundation who said that unfreezing local housing allowance was an urgent priority."

He claimed the rise would give 1.6 million households an average of £800 of support in the next year.

The current London housing benefits caps are around £260 per week for a one-bed property, £302 for a two-bed and £354 for a three-bed.

Unfreezing the Local Housing Allowance rate would allow people to claim support for their current local rent prices.

The 30th percentile is calculated by taking 12 months of lettings information from the previous year, then basing the rate on what the cheapest 30 out of 100 homes would cost to rent.

In practice, this should make the lowest 30 per cent of the local market available to tenants who receive Local Housing Allowance.

LHA had been frozen since 2020 and was based on rents from three years ago.

Average London rents have risen 28 per cent since 2019, adding more than £500 per month to the average rent bill.

Will the changes help struggling first-time buyers and homeowners?
The Chancellor's cuts to National Insurance and other tax cuts were welcomed by Richard Donnell at Zoopla, who said the housing market is an extension of the wider economy.

The property portal's executive director said: "Putting more money into take-home pay will help improve housing affordability and support confidence into 2024.”

But Rightmove’s Tim Bannister said: “The lack of housing announcements feels like a missed opportunity to help home-movers and home-owners today, given the challenges this year with higher mortgage rates.

"Affordability-stretched first-time buyers in particular will be feeling forgotten, as they try to get onto the ladder with increasingly squeezed budgets and reduced support options. We hope the government will consider other measures to help the market in the spring budget.”

In 1957, UK interest rates jumped significantly meaning mortgage rates were 7.5%.

If you waited for interest rates to go down to what they were 18 months before, you wouldn't have purchased a home until 2008.

You would have rented for 51 years waiting for rates to go down, meanwhile the value of property increased by 9,351% (that is not a typo)

Don't wait to buy property.

Buy property and wait.
