Hi there,
MD MESSAGE
Interest rate cut is a breath of fresh air
Interest rate cut is a breath of fresh air
The recent 25 basis-point cut may seem small, but it will undoubtedly drive positive business and consumer sentiment. While many buyers and sellers have adopted a wait-and-see approach, this cut will give them the confidence to take that next step. Potential fuel price cuts are also on the horizon, helping to put a bit more cash in local pockets.

As estate agents, it’s essential to be prepared to meet this increased demand. With the market beginning to recover and the busier warmer months approaching, now is the time to position yourself as the go-to expert your clients will need.
MD of Prop Data
Let's get going,
