Woottons on the Patient Buyer's Quarter

No.20 member Woottons has turned its attention to a pattern the practice says has held for twenty years: the first quarter of the year favours the patient buyer of country property. Vendors who have lived with a listing through the autumn tend to arrive at January with softer expectations, viewings thin out in the depths of winter, and mortgage terms usually firm up before the spring rush arrives.

Measured, seasonally-minded counsel from a practice that reads the country market as closely as it reads a planning file. The full note is on the Woottons website.
