A testing 12 months for the housing market has almost come to an end. So what can buyers and sellers expect for 2012?
Fasten your seatbelts. The property ride is far from over, says Andrew Williams - the owner of Williams Estates. So, what should you do?
Hang on and do nothing - is probably not the best idea in the book. Instead it's all about being proactive, explains Andrew.
"There is an outside chance that prices will rise if sellers and buyers conclude that the wider economy is improving," he said. "The problem isn't affordability. The cost of running a home is low, especially with interest rates on the floor. But the real issue is accessibility. "People may have to start thinking outside the box in order to get a mortgage - whether it's getting help from mum and dad or friends - or even exploring shared tenancy or buy-to-let arrangements."

Some say it is a 'buyer's market' in property at the moment. There is some truth in this.
There are a lot of homes on the market with limited buyers in a position to proceed immediately. But these buyers will shine through eventually. That's why it's now more important than ever for sellers lucky enough to receive an offer on their property, to carefully consider if the price is right and then what the buyers circumstances may be.
It's true that a property is only worth what someone else is willing to pay for it. But you can maximise that price by ensuring that its desirable for viewing. Read more inside this month's newsletter.

"Act now to move before December," is the advice from Andrew Williams, owner of Williams Estates.
Christmas may be 72 days away but the average time on the market is 94 days, so buyers and sellers need to get serious now if they are to tie up a deal before the festive season.

Despite the recent riots and plummeting share prices, the property market has 'encouraging signs' according to Northwich property expert Andrew Williams.

The housing market is bouncing back with average prices rising by more than £5,000. It is a welcome sign that home values are proving to be remarkably resilient in the economic downturn, says Andrew Williams. The research was carried out by property website Zoopla.

House prices are reported to be down by around 1.1 per cent - which is great news for those looking to buy.
For those selling, it's time to be optimistic, at least you may also benefit from the price drop if you are also looking to climb up the property ladder at a later date.
So if there's just one property message to deliver in June, it's: "Don't be left out in the cold. If you want a red hot bargain, now could be your chance!"

May is the month of mayhem - it's one of our busiest times of the year for buying and selling property. So, if you're thinking of selling your home, or you are searching for a perfect property, it's probably time to call in to one of our offices in Northwich or Hartford or call 01606 331784 for more information. Traditionally, property owners like to sort out 'the big move' before the peak holiday seasons of July and August.

Time to blow the cobwebs off your computer and start searching for a property to buy (or let). Williams Estates has welcomed lots more homes on to the market in time for Spring/Summer season.

As we move into another year, the same questions appears to be forming on everyone’s lips. Is 2011 going to be a good year to buy and sell property?
At Williams Estates, we think 2011 will be a year when the economy improves and confidence returns to the market, slowly but surely.
Demand for property will grow once more - and there will also be a few bargains out there - but it's all relative. If you sell for less, it's likely you can buy for less too!
It will certainly be time to advantage of low interest rates and competitive house prices, so 2011 will seem to be as good a bet as any. In fact, it could prove to be the best time for many years to come.

Most of us are still shaking the summer sand from our shoes but the Williams Estates staff are already in autumn mode.
The September selling season has arrived. This means that property activity will begin to pick up - as both vendors and buyers aim to get their deals done before the Christmas holidays.
Many house sales are completed in September and October, and so there are at least eight busy weeks on their way. The autumn skies may be darkening but the property market is definitely looking brighter as we have some great new homes for sale this month.

The long summer days are usually difficult for property buyers and sellers alike - because we all go on holiday! Evidence of market movement is usually less representative than other times of the year - but I'm pleased to say that August has been suprisingly busy so far!
In this month's issue we have lots of local property news - as well as 3 hot Homes of the Month. We have focused on: an ideal investment opportunity, a well-located retirement home, and a 'step up the ladder' property.
