Asking Prices Fall in Commuter Towns

Home sellers in popular commuter towns are having to accept that their properties may be worth up to £20,000 less than they were last year. This is according to a report by This Is Money Mortgages.

Letting agents and inventory clerks operating in these areas may wish to note the shift in asking prices, as it could impact rental yields and property turnover. The report highlights that even affluent commuter locations are not immune to recent market adjustments.
