Just two years after the banking crisis threatened a “property ice age” London house prices are on the verge of hitting all-time highs which is exciting news for all London home owners

Property prices across most of the capital have sprung back from the recessionary slump astonishingly swiftly and are certainly still rising, according to London agents.

The average is now three per cent off the all-time high of £352,869 recorded by the Land Registry in January 2008.

Kensington and Chelsea, Westminster and Camden, average property prices are already above their highest peaks and in some of London’s other boroughs, Islington and Hammersmith & Fulham, are just a few pounds adrift.

This can only be good for the removal industry within central London.  White Van Gentlemen are excited at the prospect of the increase number of customers needing a Man and Van Chelsea or even a Chelsea Removal Company.  With the prices rising, the number of properties coming on sale seems to sky rocket especially with the Spring coming up.

Estate Agents claim more rises of five to 10% can be expected this year. In Kensington and Chelsea an increase of 10% would see the average price top the £1 million marker for the first time ever.

For all your Fulham Removals and Kensington Removal needs please do be in touch.

With Spring nearing and the property market stabling – Is it time to move on and find another home?

Here at White Van Gentlemen, we have some tips to maximise your selling potential.

•    Basic DIY – Often after living in your property for a few years you become blinded to what improvements need done.  We advise you turn your property from shabby to chic, and this can be done on a total budget.  Painting all the rooms, changing the bathrooms and re laying the carpets are all viable options.   Just ensure you don’t spend more than the value you are adding to the property

•    Attracting a Sale – Small changes can really make a difference.  A complete spring clean of your property is a good start but also mowing the lawn and cleaning the outside of the windows helps the cause.  Don’t forget – There’s no second chance for the first impression, make it a good one!

•    Choosing the Right Agent – You are in their hands so be sure to choose the right one.  Often sellers think their property is worth a lot more than the market value so be sure to scour the market and see what other properties are achieving.  Just be careful when authorising an agent, always get a second view.

A guide to polite motoring in modern day Britain.

Debrett’s has recently published a book, the title being: A guide to polite motoring in modern day Britain.

Suggestions such as, men never making cliché jokes about female drivers and women avoiding spraying perfume while in the car are both included. We would like to think at WVG that none of our gentlemen would be spraying perfume around (apart from Adam) and that no cliché jokes of any sort are ever made…

Looks like we were ahead of the times by living up to our White Van Gentlemen name and being at the forefront of re inventing how people view the ‘white van man’.
