Coast and Country Estate agents are pleased to announce an open house this coming Saturday 10^th June between 2pm and 4pm. This conveniently situated older style semi-detached home offers well-proportioned accommodation with a little period grandeur. It is situated on the corner of Netley Road which is a sought after cul-de-sac close to the town centre so it enjoys easy access to all amenities and mainline railway station. The very reasonable guide price makes it very attractive to those looking for a good sized home or investment.

 

Externally the property is presented in very good order and benefits from a recently replaced roof. The spacious accommodation is in need of some modernisation so offers a great opportunity to exercise your flair for design, create spaces which reflect your exact taste and add value too.  It comprises on the ground floor, an entrance porch and hallway, lounge and separate dining room both with walk in bay window and a breakfast room with kitchen off. The first floor consists of four bedrooms, the master with walk in bay window enjoying views over the town and a family bathroom. There is also a substantial loft space. Gas central heating and double glazing are installed. Outside there are level gardens and a double garage which is a huge benefit being so close to the town.

Coast and Country are very pleased to offer 1a Netley Road for sale at a guide price of offers in the region of £250,000 and encourage you to call them on 01626 366966 if you would like further information on either the property or holding an open viewing event on your home. No appointments are necessary if you wish to attend the open viewing.

Open Viewing Hat Trick

 

Coast and Country Estate Agents have a reputation for doing things differently. One method of marketing which they pioneered in this area is open viewing events. Currently they run one or more each week, which they prominently advertise on the front page of THE HOMEBUYER. They are also promoted on Rightmove, Zoopla and by sending out thousands of invitations to those interested in purchasing locally. This method of sale can generate considerable interest and concentrates viewings into one pre-arranged time slot. This is convenient for sellers and also for buyers as no appointment is necessary. Open Viewing Events can be used as a standalone method of sale for the right properties or alongside conventional marketing to generate interest above and beyond the norm.

Often creating extra excitement by allowing potential buyers to view at the same time, leads to more than one offer. Potentially this leads to sales being agreed promptly at above the guide price. At three recent events Coast and Country have achieved great results for both enthusiastic buyers and vendors alike.

 

On the 25^th March the Open Viewing Event at 31 Woodleigh Road, a 3 bedroom semi-detached house, resulted in visits from 15 potential buyers and 7 offers. The sale was agreed at a little over the guide price of £180,000 to a cash buyer.

 

A few days later after a well-attended viewing at a 2/3 bedroom cottage in Waltham Road, with a guide price of £125,000, three offers were received and again the sale was agreed at above the guide price, again to a cash buyer.

 

More recently 3 Prospect Terrace, a mid terrace home with many original features was offered for sale by the same method. This property proved even more popular on the day and at the time of writing offers are being considered.

 

Ashley Mathews of Coast and Country believes open viewing events provide a great way of promoting interesting properties to the widest selection of buyers. The proof is in the pudding so to speak and is in the hat trick of sales agreed, detailed above. This clearly demonstrates the effectiveness of open viewing events. He believes they provide means of boosting interest in almost any property when conducted using a proven formula. Although other agents have dabbled in open viewing events he thinks that it is essential that they are conducted by an experienced team conducting them on a regularly basis, if you want results. To find out how this method of sale can work for you please call Coast and Country on 01626 366966 or attend one of their events and meet the team.

The next scheduled events are Saturday 22^nd April between 9:30am and 10:30am at 27 Woodleigh Road, Newton Abbot, TQ12 1PN

and Saturday 29^th April between 2pm and 4pm at 2 Edginswell Lane, Kingskerswell, TQ12 5LX.

 

 

 

Open Viewings at homes with potential

Award winning estate agents Coast and Country are holding open viewing events on 2 properties with potential for improvement over the next 2 Saturdays.

On Saturday 8^th April between 9:30am & 10:30am a warm welcome awaits potential buyers at 21 Waltham Road, Newton Abbot by Coast and Country’s experienced sales team. Situated on the level for the clock tower end of Newton Abbot’s vibrant town centre the stone fronted house is offered for sale at a guide price of £125,000. The 2 bedroom property will appeal to a variety of buyers, including first time buyers and buy to let investors, prepared to take on some renovation. Throughout it is presented in tidy liveable condition, but could benefit from a deal of modernisation which could certainly add substantially to the value.

 

 

The following Saturday 15^th April provides a chance between 2pm & 4pm to take a look at 3 Prospect Terrace, Newton Abbot situated just off Queen Street in the town centre. With a guide price of offers in excess of £130,000.  A rare opportunity to acquire a mature terraced house for improvement which has retained many of its original features. The accommodation comprises hall, lounge, dining room, kitchen, rear lobby, downstairs W.C, 2 bedrooms and bathroom.

 

 

Coast and Country look forward to seeing you there.

A Whole Lot of Living. 

 

 

Space. It’s what many buyers are searching for. This modern style three bedroom home has more than you might expect. Upstairs there are three bedrooms which are not overly large and a smart family bathroom. Downstairs however thing are quite different. The lounge is as you would expect well proportioned. The stylish fitted kitchen has a good range of appliances and a conservatory has been added which could be used as a dining room or for other purposes. But that’s not where the living space ends. Situated to the side of the property, fronted by decking and overlooking the pleasant rear garden there is a garden / family room. This is light and airy with glass sliding doors. Behind this is an even larger, sturdy wooden work shop that we think has all sorts of potential not only as a workshop but potentially as a gym or hobby area. So all in all what we have here is a well-appointed home on a nice sized plot with that bit extra. The property is offered for sale by Coast and Country estate agents. They are contactable on 01626 366966 and will be happy to provide addition information or arrange a viewing. This property is also open to view without appointment between 9:30am and 10:30am on the Saturday 18^th March 2017.

FABULOUS PROPERTIES IN TORBAY

 

Award winning estate agents Coast and Country are very pleased to offer for sale two fantastic properties in great locations. The first is on Southfield Avenue in Preston. This is a level area on the outskirts of Paignton, close to shops and other facilities and not far from the attractive beach and promenade. By contrast the second property  is at Higher Compton Barton, set in an idyllic rural location and surrounded by breath taking countryside. It does however offer easy access to Torquay and the new South Devon Highway.

Both of these properties will appeal to discerning buyers looking in the £300,000-£400,000 price range. Number 33a Southfield Avenue has an asking price of £400,000. It is a stunning 4 bedroom modern family home and unlike many modern properties this particular property offers very spacious and versatile living space including; entry level hallway, cloakroom / W.C, family room with balcony off and stunning kitchen / diner, garden level (great potential as an annexe) hallway, lounge, bedroom with en suite shower room and utility and on the second floor, 3 further bedrooms (the master with en suite off) and a family bathroom. The garden is very neatly presented and features a 20ft x 10ft workshop. To the front of the property there is a garage and off road parking. We think this contemporary home is a real stunner and not to be missed.

 

 

The Linny, Higher Compton Barton in Marldon in contrast is a characterful home with a number of original features.   Formed by the sympathetic conversion of part of a “ new model farm” in 1998 the property on offer comprises; entrance hallway, contemporary open plan kitchen and sitting room and a versatile dining room / 3rd bedroom, first floor master bedroom with en suite shower room, 2nd bedroom and a bathroom. The garden is located to the rear of the property and parking is provided by way of a car port and parking space. If you are looking for a home with wow factor at a reasonable price in a quiet yet convenient semi-rural location, look no further.

Is 2017 The Right Time to Buy Your First Home or Move On?

 

In 2015 house prices in Newton Abbot rose on average around 4.5%, broadly in line with the previous year. The number of resale homes which changed hands over the course of the year was similar to the previous year.  A good year overall for the local property market with the prospect of another good year to come. The amount of new homes being built and worries over Brexit seem to have had little effect on sales of pre-owned property. On the other hand changes in SDLT (stamp duty) and the tax treatment of mortgage interest on buy to let properties does appear to have cooled the amateur investor market. Professional investors however still seem keen to buy and accept the additional costs associated with purchase and finding ways around the tax treatment on interest, by for instance the use of limited companies. There also seems to be demand for larger properties which can be divided into high end multi occupancy home.

Ashley Mathews of Coast and Country estate agents reported that the number of new enquiries from sellers peaked in June and October. Sales peaked through October and November leading to numerous completions in December. It was great to help so many people move to their new homes in the run up to Christmas. As the year progressed he found that the number of sales above £500,000 increased and he considers this very positive when considering the outlook for 2017. The average property price in TQ12 is currently £249,000 and he forecasts that this will increase by a further 4% in 2017 to £260,000 as demand for quality properties still outstrips supply. In particular he foresees growth in sale of luxury homes. Buyers with deeper pockets seem to have been sitting on the fence for the past couple of years but now seem to be motivated to take the plunge. He puts this in part down to the slowing of price increases in the London market. London sellers are realising their assets and buying in the South West where their money goes much further. Coast and Country are able to tap into this market utilising their network of associated offices inside the M25 and have already agreed one sale at over £750,000 this year.

 

 

Ashley noted that an interesting feature of the current market was the first time buyers. Some are older than you would traditionally imagine, due to the need to save up deposits. Others with the assistance of older family members are buying more substantial properties with larger deposits than you would expect. These buyers are often seeking properties from £100,000 up to £240,000 and provide an excellent starting point for chains allowing others to move on. 

When asked if 2017 is the right time to buy your first home or move up the ladder Ashley confirmed that with the right advice and planning he believes it is. There is plenty of activity in the market and mortgage rates remain low. His opinion that in the medium term mortgage rates will rise making the cost of home ownership more expensive. Taking advantage of long term fixed rates and buying now before house prices rise further may well leave you sitting pretty in the home you want. Delaying may mean paying more and a higher mortgage rate.

He advised that the first step on the road to moving is establishing the value of your current home. Taking advice on presentation and whether to carry out works which could add value at an early stage may also lead to maximising the amount you put in the bank. Coast and Country are there to help even if your plan to sell is not imminent. They are happy to meet with you, offer opinion on the current value of your home and the best way to market it. They can also advise on how to maximise its appeal and help put a plan in place to get you moved at the best time for you. All at no cost to you and without obligation. They invite you to take your first step today and phone for an appointment on 01626 366966. They look forward to meeting you and putting their experience and local knowledge at your disposal.
