UK property sales back to pre-pandemic levels
The world has certainly changed a great deal since 2020 and the property and removals market is no exception. Understandably, the global pandemic and associated lockdowns meant that the housing market in the UK slowed down for a time.
In addition, what we were looking for in our homes shifted as we all spent more time there than we had previously. As the BuyAssociation noted in 2021, properties that offered both interior and exterior space were in particularly high demand.
Here at Removals Unlimited, we have continued to help home movers in Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch and beyond move to and get settled into their new abodes, operating within all the guidelines that were introduced to protect us all from Covid-19 at the height of the outbreak.
Our corner of the South West has been in demand too, with many people who live in London or the surrounding area having explored relocating to the coast – and with Bournemouth being a commutable distance from the capital, it’s little wonder it’s been a popular location among buyers!
Now new figures from Rightmove have revealed that UK property sales are back to pre-pandemic levels. The latest figures showed that agreed sales were just 1% lower than they had been in March 2019. This is the first time sales have reached this level since September last year, when the government’s mini-budget sent markets into chaos.
Interestingly, it’s flat sales that have strengthened the market. We are highly experienced in flat moves and will be more than happy to help you move out of and/or into a new flat, regardless of what floor your flat is on or whether your building contains a lift.
Our team of experienced movers understand how important it is to ensure that not only are your belongings well taken care of, but also that your property and the communal areas aren’t damaged in the process of moving out. We use a range of protective equipment and materials to do just this – protecting walls, floors, doors and your possessions in the process.
If necessary, we can even organise crane hire if this is required due to the nature of your property or the items you wish to move out when you leave. Our experts will be able to offer you advice when they carry out their first video survey of your home, which is completely free and comes with no obligation.
Should it be necessary to hire a crane in order to facilitate your move, we will provide you with a clear quote, detailing how much this will cost in addition to our standard removals and packing service.
We know that the process of moving home can be stressful, so let our experienced and professional team take some of the load for you. We pack, move and store, so you can rest assured we are well placed to assist with every aspect of your move to your new abode.
