High Demand For Properties In Surrey
Online, November 2, 2011 (Newswire.com) - The autumn season is proving to be extremely positive for the property market in Surrey, following a busier than usual summer period for the market.
Despite being a traditionally quieter time for property sales in Surrey, leading estate agents John D Wood & Co. witnessed an extremely strong summer sales period, and this growth in demand is continuing as we move towards 2012.
Foreign investors are now looking beyond London in order to secure a safe haven from the global financial turmoil, with growing interest in properties across Surrey, including higher volume of enquiries from prospective buyers looking at property for sale in Cobham.
Peter Young, Managing Director of John D Wood & Co, believes that the UK's stable political climate is one of the key reasons why international investors buy properties in places like Cobham.
But John D Wood & Co. has also recorded a greater number of enquiries from people seeking to view property for sale in Weybridge, particularly from families wanting to be located near to the local international school.
Mr Young said that higher demand for homes in Weybridge is being driven by "house-hunters from Russia and the United States wanting to be near the International School".
With the ever increasing number of property purchasers beginning their search on the internet, whether British or from overseas, John D Wood & Co. are continuing to invest heavily in their online marketing. Last month, the company launched a mobile website which allows people to search all available sales and rental properties on the move without resorting to an App.
Search results from John D Wood & Co.'s popular website shows that there has also been a surge in individuals seeking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and look at property for sale in Esher, a very affluent and leafy part of Elmbridge, which offers excellent transport links into the capital.
To find out more visit the sales offices in Cobham, Esher and Weybridge, between the opening hours, Monday to Saturday. Alternatively call the sales team on 020 7717 5135 or log onto the website at www.johndwood.co.uk.
