The Family Estate Agent

It’s a ‘topsy turvy’ market out there all right with conflicting reports coming in from left, right and centre, so it’s no wonder buyers and sellers are confused. Some reports suggest homeowners expect prices to grow in next 6 months but the RICS warn that prices and stock levels remain flat. However there is a real North/south divide developing and for once, us Northerners, are benefiting!

Would you like to join a busy family run firm? Come and join Robert Watts. We are currently recruiting for a part-time sales negotiator, located at our Cleckheaton Sales office.

Not to depress everyone any more than necessary and just to re-iterate the obvious, Brexit continues to dominate everyday life including buying and selling a house. The latest ‘RICS UK Residential Market Survey’ shows new buyer enquiries and sales falling last month with 39% of Yorkshire and Humber agents seeing a fall in buyer enquiries. In addition new homes coming to the market are also low resulting in low stock levels on estate agents books, with an average of 34 properties per branch in our region.

We are looking for a FULL TIME Lettings Administrator to join our busy team in Cleckheaton.

Following on from our last review in January, the local market continues to ‘chug along’ quite nicely although, in our opinion, houses under the £250,000 bracket are still performing better than those above.

Robert Watts have just won The British Property Award for Bradford (South). We are incredibly proud of the team, and how the exceptional service they provide has helped us win this award.

We are proud to announce that 2019 is John Watts’ 25 year anniversary working at Robert Watts. Whilst some may say he was born into the job, he actually left school and started working in the in February 1994 and he hasn’t looked back since…..well not often.

Whilst no one can seriously suggest that the ongoing Brexit debacle is a positive thing, at Robert Watts we are cautiously optimistic about the health of the local property market. We echo what the national agents have reported in late 2018 including Savills who believe that the north will fare better than the south in 2019 and beyond and is sticking by its prediction that Yorkshire could see the second highest house price growth in Britain over the next five years.

Robert Watts had a great team day out last Saturday when we all went to the Races.
