2020 is going to be an exciting year for Rural View and there are a number of positive changes you will see over the coming months. The first has already happened with the addition of Charlie Stone to our team. He joins us from a well known global property firm following many years of looking after the prime country house market locally for them. The fact that Charlie has chosen to come on board says alot about how highly regarded Rural View are in local property circles. He will bring with him a huge amount of experience, enthusiasm and knowledge and his fellow directors at Rural View; Charlie Graham & Mark Matthews are pleased to welcome him aboard!

Whatever one’s view of December’s general election result and the divided state of the nation, at least the new Government’s substantial Parliamentary majority means that they will be able to progress their legislative programme so as to allow the country to move forward from the previous political impasse with a degree of certainty.
It’s too early to analyse how this and the UK’s forthcoming departure from the EU will affect what has been a subdued housing market but the widespread feeling is one of cautious optimism that it will give the sector a much needed kick start and allow it to get going again.
There are certainly active buyers around looking for their next home and as 2020 gets underway, the expectation is that sellers will find the confidence to put their properties up for sale and in doing so, bring some stability back to the market and boost trade. As we embark on a new decade, let’s hope that this will indeed be the case!
