Prospective sellers should look to the festive holidays to reach a wider group of buyers

  • Prospective sellers should look to the festive holidays to reach a wider group of buyers photo 1

New research shows the holiday period is a key time of year when prospective buyers look for available homes on the market


With Christmas just around the corner, vendors should move fast if they want to list their properties for what can be a peak time for property website searches.

In fact when we discussed this topic in last month’s newsletter, it proved to be one of the most popular of the entire year!

Vendors may think that there is a lull in the interest in property over the Christmas holiday period to the New Year, but that is far from the truth.

In fact estate agent website traffic peaks at that time. Indeed, new research from Rightmove shows they received 18 million visits to its site last Christmas.

Combine this increased web traffic with the fact that there tend to be fewer properties for sale around in this period, then those vendors who do list have a very large audience and could achieve excellent deals.

This coming year could be particularly intriguing, with buyers countering the Brexit uncertainty and, indeed, leveraging on it by accessing attractive mortgage products and committing to puchases sooner.

Stephen Ludlow, Chairman of ludlowthompson, says: “Christmas and new year is a very popular period for hard-working families and young professionals to browse property sites because they are more relaxed and under less time pressure.”

“It is also a time when they are thinking about the future and the idea of buying their first property or moving to a new one is very much on their minds. Individuals will also have family time to consider their purchase with the increasingly influential bank of mum and dad as a captive audience!”

Here is a selection of recent reviews of happy customers of ludlowthompson via Google Reviews:

- Penelope Killick, Google Reviews

“We were very lucky to have Georgina handling the sale of our flat.

She’s been brilliant right from the start…Professional, friendly and communicative throughout the whole process, we couldn’t have asked for a better agent!”

- Brian Patterson, Google Reviews

 “Emma was amazing from start to finish!  She really cares about what she does and looks after her client's needs.  She found me a buyer within 6 weeks and at a price I was happy to sell at!  Thanks Emma and I am happy to recommend you in future!”

ludlowthompson maintains its transparency by encouraging customer reviews across a number of platforms. Over a three-year period we are ranked as the number 1 agent in the UK on allAgents out of 15,000+ agents, with 5800+ 5* reviews, and we are linked with Feefo, a global Google Partner giving the customer another place to search for independent reviews of the company and the individuals that work at ludlowthompson.
