When it comes to the summer months, it is likely that you will have some things on your mind that are very important to you. It would be fair to say that moving home isn’t a summer activity that instantly springs to mind but for many people, summer is the ideal time of year to make a move. It used to be that the property market would peak in spring, drop off in the summer, come back to life in autumn and then tail off in winter. That was a very clearly defined pattern in the sector but there have been many changes in the UK property market in recent years, and the summer months are as vibrant in the Stockport property market as they are with respect to weather and temperature. Well, we hope, you just never know what the weather holds in the summer months!
There is a higher level of demand for property these days
The high level of demand for property in the Stockport, Greater Manchester and UK market means that there is no real drop-off. While some individuals may decide that buying or selling in summer isn’t suitable for them and their needs, the volume of people who decide to sell or buy at this time of year means that you don’t notice a drop-off.
Even with Stockport not being at the heart of the biggest levels of demand in the UK property market, there is clearly a level of demand for property in the area that means there will be buyers looking for homes in the summer.
Online technology means that the market is always available
The property market has been transformed by the development of the internet. Online property portals means that people can always search for property, not matter the time of day or night and no matter where they are. Even if a potential buyer is on holiday, they can use their phone or laptop by the pool (after connecting to the Wi-Fi or being confident about their roaming charges) and look at property.
Communication is also easier these days, so even if you are going away, you can stay in touch with deals and developments.

We believe the summer months are an ideal time to make a move in the property market, so if you want advice or guidance, come and see us and we will talk you through the process. Hopefully the weather will be nice but you’re always assured of a warm welcome when it comes to dealing with Spencer Harvey.
