Our SS5 postcode expert, Jo Barham has produced her monthly update on the housing market highlighting the trends which affect the value of our properties. Have a read and find out what has been happening this month in the Hockley and Hullbridge areas.

Hello Everyone, Here is my housing market report covering the SS5 post codes over the month of February 2024. I hope you find the information useful.

After the better than expected January housing market and our positive early year expectation the February market has been a little underwhelming! 

Less properties listed for sale, less properties sold and more price reductions

Why? The half term holiday, the lenders decision to increase some mortgage products, the cold weather affecting weekend viewing numbers, it could be any number of reasons.

That said, plenty of new applicants, sale prices still remain high in comparison to asking prices but buyers are looking for good value buys, they are certainly not getting carried away yet.

All eyes now turn to March 6th and the Budget, housing market initiatives are being discussed, watch this space! 

Thanks for reading, Jo Barham 01702 207720

If your home has been sitting on the market with no progress, you’re not stuck. Switching estate agents is easier than you think, if you understand your contract and prepare properly. Here’s the truth, the timelines and the process to relaunch with impact.

As the Christmas holidays approach, we’re delighted to share a little cheer from our local community. Amos Estates have teamed up with the amazing teachers at Westwood Primary School to surprise pupils with a sweet chocolate treat to celebrate the end of term and spread some festive joy.

As the Autumn Budget approaches, the property market does something strangely predictable: it takes a collective sip of tea, raises an eyebrow, and decides to wait and see what happens next. Buyers who were enthusiastic a week ago suddenly hover in “nearly ready” mode, as if the Chancellor himself might pop up and personally adjust their mortgages.

As communities across the country come together to honour those who gave their lives in service, our Director Colin MacLean has taken the lead in marking the start of the 2025 Poppy Appeal with a heartfelt act of remembrance at the Hadleigh War Memorial. Colin has unveiled a stunning wall of poppies, the first in a series of moving displays.
