With the extension of the stamp duty holiday and a surge in buyers looking to purchase a new home in Dorset and Somerset, it's never been a better time to sell your home and find your next property.
Our independent research shows that 16 buyers are chasing every newly listed property across the UK at the moment, which has resulted in higher property prices driven by the vast number of buyers seeking to snap up stock to beat the stamp duty extension deadline. Lockdown has given purchasers time to assess their lifestyle needs and many want to move away from big urban areas and live in more rural locations.
Dorset and Somerset are ever-popular locations for property searches. On the anniversary of the introduction of lockdown restrictions, Rightmove analysed changes in our property-searching habits and found that Dorset has proved increasingly popular, jumping from position 20 to tenth in the most-searched for list.

"Brian and the rest of the team at Jackson-Stops Taunton have gone above and beyond what you would expect from an agent in getting our property to completion. Having originally bought the property via Brian he understood our property and produced a fantastic brochure and introduced the right clients to us. By keeping in regular contact with all other agents involved they were able to keep us informed of what was happening. We have no hesitation in recommending them to both buyers and sellers."
