People and clients often try and predict the market. If we all knew the answer then we would not be so prone to such indecision when it comes to buying property and our advice would be much in demand. Now and in the past, many nervous clients have asked "should we buy now or wait?" or "I read in the paper prices are due to fall" and so on. Whatever you think, you can nearly always find commentary to back that particular view. My advice is simple, if you are looking for the perfect country house or cottage, don't lose it by trying to predict the market. Prime property in good locations in the south west will always sell and if you find that dream home, having searched for a year or more - buy it. It could be several years before you find another, just get some good professional advice and press on. I recently found and acquired an outstanding country house privately for clients and yet they still were concerned about whether it was the right time to buy, what about the election, were they paying too much, etc. They had been looking since before the last election and had found nothing as good as this. I can add they bought it well and I could sell this particular house all day, every day. It had been with the previous owners for over 30 years and was a real gem and just what many wanted - 6 bedroom period house, formal gardens, river frontage, land, stables, outbuildings and outstanding views and location. When you find the right property do not hesitate or worry too much about predicting the market - go for it! You'll never regret it.
