2015 Yateley property predictions from Romans

Matthew Penfold

Manager, Romans Yateley

01252 743 736romans.co.uk

Matthew Penfold, Sales

Manager at Romans Yateley,

shares his house price

predictions for the next

12 months:

“Although the property market

hasn’t completely stabilised we’re

seeing a much more balanced

level of activity, compared to earlier

in 2014.

The lack of supply vs demand has

driven house prices up but now

buyers, and surveyors on behalf

of lenders, are comparing prices

and ensuring that properties aren’t

being overpriced. Therefore,

sellers need to be more mindful of

the competition and seek expert

advice so as not to over value their

home. This can not only delay sales

but often results in lower sales

prices being achieved due to the

stigma associated with a property

that has been on the market for a

long time, or had its price reduced.

I predict further rises in property

prices in the local area, with higher

increases for the smaller one and

two bedroom properties. This is all

relative though, your house may

increase in value but so will the

house you want to buy next, so

you need to work out if it’s really

worth waiting.

First time buyers will continue to

take advantage of the ongoing low

interest rates, government support

schemes and of course the recent

changes to stamp duty. People

nearing retirement age, on the

other hand, will be looking forward

to the April change in pension rules

and looking for property investment

opportunities. I’m expecting to see

other investors making a move to

purchase more property ahead

of this, to take advantage of the

prices as they are before we see

the increase in demand.”

REACHINGYOUR

POTENTIAL

Remember what it was like to be a teenager? a mix of possibilities, opportunities, hormones and boundaries, homework and exams, people to see and places to go. Learning to be independent can be hard enough. If a Young Person has had distressing or troubled early childhood experiences, it can just add more stress to an already emotional time.

Foster carers for teenagers need particular skills to carry out what can be a very varied and challenging job - sensitivity to a Young Persons situation, patience, tolerance and understanding. A foster carer needs to provide stability, safety and secure boundaries to keep them safe, while also encouraging them to spread their wings and take their fi rst steps towards becoming happy, responsible adults. Most importantly, you need to be there for them, have good communication skills, provide consistent boundaries, negotiate effectively when diffi culties arise and have a sense of humour!

We will provide support 24/7 and extensive training plus a fi nancial package.
