Jono, SJ and Richard discuss the importance of correct pricing, the factors that affect house pricing and why it’s always a price-sensitive market! Next, the team turns to building surveys.

Cheeky Bricks - Episode 4

In this episode, Jono, SJ and Richard consider the state of the property market following the Chancellor’s Spring forecast and the ongoing (at the time of recording) war in the Middle East. Then the team discusses ‘taking a view’ – what this term means and how it affects the sale process, covering indemnity policies, the most common issues in title that they come across and the significance of ‘stat decs’ or sworn statements of truth. Also, what does gazumping actually mean? SJ tells us about the biggest gazump she’s encountered and Richard explains what gazundering entails. Plus, why are the filters on property search sites so limited? We'd love to hear from you!
