November reviewed ... exciting times ahead

Well, November was a really successful month at Christies and ChristiesWorld.com.

Our Cheam Office, nestling conveniently on the borders of London and Surrey agreed a very pleasing level of new sales - 12 deals with an average property value of almost exactly £650,000. This follows on from 10 sales in October with an average value of about £821,000. Average sale value for 2011 so far is just over£690,000. We have sold flats at well under £200,000, large houses worth well over a million pounds and a wide variety of terrace, semi-detached and detached houses and numerous bungalows.

New instructions have been solid rather than spectacular in November - just 6 properties to follow on from the double figures that we put on to the market in October. We were pleased to see however, that this level of new instructions kept us at the Number One spot in the Rightmove statistics for our target area - we have only lost top spot once this year. Indeed we have been at Number One almost continuously for many years which is a constant source of satisfaction. We have a number of new instructions already lined up for the New Year so there is plenty to look forward to.

The Christies House Price Index (http://bit.ly/sLB2br) continues to demonstrate the value of property as both a home and a long term investment. There is no slowing down in demand for properties close to some of the UK's best state schools in an area convenient for London and Surrey's wonderful green belt countryside with pleasant parks and Villages offering chic restaurants and cafes.

We have really benefited this year from our extensive global group network (www.mayfairoffice.co.uk) with around 16,000 properties for sale via 450 offices worldwide including 30 in Surrey and London, plus exclusive websites for Equestrian, Coastal and International.

Next year will see the launch of our specialist Property Auction service which will allow us to market an even wider selection of properties including commercial, investments, licensed premises, multi property portfolios plus asset disposals for corporate clients.

Finally, Lettings and Property Management are well worth a mention. Demand for rental properties continues unabated with more landlords required to meet the growing number of tenants. All types of property seem to be targeted and many homeowners and professional landlords are finding tenants very quickly.
