As we enter the final weekend of January, I can certainly confirm that there is activity out there - The Dorridge and Premium Office has had its best month on record, as has Gabrielle and her lettings team. There remains a gap in the market between buyers and sellers - buyers still outweigh sellers and this is limiting stock levels across both offices.
At DM & Co. we are proud to be promoting the ZERO week contract - this is essentially a contract between seller and agent without a tie-in period, if we are not doing the job in hand to the standard or expectation promised - then you should be free to leave.
If you are looking to sell, many of you are - please don’t feel the need to hold off until spring, the market is ready for you.
That’s enough from me - here’s the round-up from across the business!
“January it’s been a pleasure…with 90% of our move ins this month becoming part of our fully managed portfolio, we are really pleased to be supporting our new landlords & tenants in their new home! High tenant demand & low rental stock across the market has encouraged asking rents to rise & therefore led to an increase in the average rental yield in the West Midlands to 5.9% up YOY by 0.1%. Considering letting your property in this fast-moving market but not sure where & how to start? Contact me for a free no obligation chat on 0121 775 0101 (option 2)” - Gabrielle Argue, Lettings Manager
“An amazing start to January having had our best month on record, with more off market sales agreed than ever before, proving that good management and understanding of your buyers needs really does sell houses without relying on the property portals! Our Premium sales and instructions continue to grow at a phenomenal rate, so watch our social media posts to keep up to date with some lovely new properties coming to market over the coming weeks. If you aren’t on social media but would like to have a chat - I can be reached on 01564 777 314 (Option 4)” - Kathy Griffiths, Head of Premium
“The Dorridge office is finishing January with a bang - 5 new instructions this week & 4 sales agreed. Our pre-marketing is proving a great success, resulting in sales before hitting Rightmove, and another one of our new properties has over 10 viewings on Saturday. This is why making contact with us is so important if you are searching for a new home in the area. Well done to the Team for a great start to the year!” - Lisa Smith, Branch Manager - Dorridge
“We cannot believe January has almost drawn to a close, where has the month gone?! Lots of activity behind the scenes with more valuations carried out this month than any previous January! Buyers continue to dominate the market, make sure you’re following our social media platforms for sneak peeks - I’m looking forward to a busy weekend of viewings.” - Jo Sanders, Branch Manager - Solihull
“Within just two weeks of marketing our teaser for Collier Gardens, Tidbury Green, we’re now over 50% sold with only 3x four bedroom family homes remaining. The response to our build update fly-throughs and general marketing has been fantastic with us now preparing for the launch of a brand new development of 2x luxury homes in Solihull town centre!Numerous land/development plots under negotiation in and around Solihull with more details to follow on these once we’re able to reveal!” - Chris Evans, Land & New Homes Manager
I look forward to February as the year unfolds and the seasonal changes start to take place. Selling your home is never easy, there will always be something that doesn’t quite go to plan - what is incredibly important is how your agent reacts to these instances. If you would like to learn more about how we operate, please get in touch with the Solihull or Dorridge office on 0121 775 0101 or 01564 777 314 respectively.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
Dominic Murphy
