Openpropertygroup.com Managing Director, Jason Harris-Cohen said:
“Historically, however, value has been broadly split between two camps – freehold and leasehold. Consumers will always favour freehold over leasehold and this naturally adds value to freehold properties. You also have to factor in the number of flats available to buy versus the number of houses – supply and demand will always impact the type of values sellers can achieve.
The new build sector is playing its part in shaping house prices. The bigger the size, the higher the resale value and we have definitely seen an emphasis on building detached and semi-detached family homes of late. Developers need to create as much space as possible to maximise the square footage of each home.”
