REGIONAL INSIGHT
George Bramley
Head of East England sales
Following the end of the first lockdown, East Anglia, like many rural destinations, has continued to see a real surge in activity, with many leaving the capital to relocate here (67% of 2021 buyers in the region came from London). This surge has resulted in some exceptional prices and a consistent and increasing demand for best-in-class country houses. Offers accepted are up 96% against the five-year average, the number of exchanges has increased by 55%, and viewings are also up 39%. There remains a shortage of stock and the number of buyers greatly outweighs the property that is available – a trend we believe may well continue despite the choppy economic forecasts, as people continue to seek out a change in lifestyle.
