Sheffieldmoneyman Christmas Message During Covid-19

Have a safe Christmas

We want to hope this year ends on a positive note and continues into a safe and prosperous New Year for everyone from me and my team here at Sheffieldmoneyman and we hope for a healthy 2021 for all of us.

Property values have held up remarkably well during the pandemic. This is due to the fact of a shortage of stock, undiminished consumer demand, and the Stamp Duty Holiday (which is due to end in March).

If 2020 has proved nothing else, it has confirmed you’ll never stop people from wanting to put their foot onto the property ladder and be homeowners.

Purchase & Remortgage Predictions

In terms of my predictions for 2021, despite rising unemployment, I fully expect the consumer demand for buying property to continue.

More people are continuing to spend more time at home, and, naturally, people might look for something larger, better, or with a lot more land.

We will also see lots of remortgage activity from customers who are happy where they are living but would like to invest in their homes by extending them or creating home offices.

Things are looking up

Interest rates are still low, and off the back of Brexit, the Government will be keen for the property sector to thrive given that it is one of the “wide multipliers”, e.g. it sustains lots of jobs.

Once the vaccine gets rolled out entirely, and life gets back to some form of normality. I believe there will be many people who adopt a “life’s too short” outlook, and this should be good for the economy as a whole, especially those involved in the property market.
