Property market

David Best from Stanley Best Estate Agents says: “The property market in Cookstown and Mid Ulster area remains challenging although steady. The first-time buyer market has slowed considerably, and I feel this bracket has been the most affected by the substantial mortgage rises over the last six months. Buyers are saving for larger deposits, which are required by most lenders, though the larger monthly payments are pricing a lot of these buyers out of the market for now. It’s a difficult time, but when the rates are steady, we hope they will be back to us to find their first home. In our area, those who are purchasing homes for the second or even third time are actively engaging in buying and selling which contributes to the continuous motion in the market. Although they are impacted as well by the larger mortgage repayments, with good equity in their previous property they are very motivated buyers. We feel you can get reasonable value for money once you cross into the higher price bracket in and around Cookstown. We find a lot of clients when relocating, considering the Mid Ulster and Cookstown areas due to their central location.”

I would highly recommend Hardings Estate Agents. They have excellent knowledge of Windsor and the surrounding areas, and are extremely professional, responsive and courteous. I would not hesitate to using them again the future. I recently dealt with Milica who was instrumental in securing us our new home in Windsor as well as the sale of our existing property. She was a fab negotiator and a real pleasure to work with from beginning to end. Thank you!

Hardings of Windsor managed our purchase with complete professionalism and went over and above in my opinion to manage the transaction and chain, resulting in a really smooth purchase. Milica at Hardings constantly provided timely updates and managed respective solicitors and the chain effectively, always responding quickly to queries. The whole transaction would not have happened without Milicas' focus on making all parties comfortable and satisfying all queries, not only professional but a delightful and welcoming personal approach that was a constant throughout. Thanks Hardings! Thanks Milica!
