Buyer and seller activity ramp up as house 

prices continue to strengthen: Rightmove 

The latest research and data released by Rightmove has revealed the biggest December to 

January increase in house prices since 2020. 

Despite prices typically rising from a quiet December into a busier January, this 

month’s increase of 1.3% for the price of property coming onto the market is 

the largest for January since 2020, and more than double the 20-year average of 

+0.6%. 

According to Rightmove’s latest data, the record jump equates to £4,571 and sees 

the average price of property entering the market hit £359,748. 

Average new seller asking prices are still 0.7% lower than last year, highlighting 

that many new sellers are being realistic about their expectations as the market 

continues to recover from the impact of volatile mortgage rates. 

However, the jump in the number of properties coming to market and the 

strength of this month’s price rise also show that new sellers are more confident 

about the outlook for the year ahead. Rightmove’s early snapshot of buyer and 

seller activity since the start of the year is tentatively promising for those looking 

to get their 2024 moving after a hesitant 2023. 

Rightmove’s Tim Bannister explains: “After a stop-start market in 2023, the 

initial signs suggest a smoother year for movers in 2024. More new sellers are 

now entering the market with more confident pricing. 

“While the increased level of buyer activity that we’re also seeing may justify 

some of this increased pricing confidence from sellers, it’s important that sellers 

who are keen to find a buyer don’t get carried away with New Year enthusiasm 

when setting their price expectations. 

“Elevated mortgage rates and the wider cost-of-living squeeze are still limiting 

buyers’ spending power. Accurate and realistic pricing for their local area is the 

recipe for success for sellers looking to get moving in 2024, and it’s been proven 

that over-optimistic pricing makes a move much less likely.” 

Whilst it’s an early snapshot of 2024, both buyer and seller activity have jumped 

compared to the same period a year ago, indicating a return of confidence when 

compared with the unsettled post-mini-budget period. 

The number of potential buyers contacting estate agents about homes for sale in 

the first week of 2024 was 5% higher than in the same period last year, with the 

growth in activity strongest in London and the North East. 

The number of properties coming to market for sale is also 15% higher than 

at the start of last year, following a record number of sellers launching on 

Rightmove on Boxing Day. The North East and South West have seen the greatest 

addition of new choice for the increased number of new buyers. 

“While the increased level of buyer activity 

that we’re also seeing may justify some of this 

increased pricing confidence from sellers, it’s 

important that sellers who are keen to find a buyer 

don’t get carried away with New Year enthusiasm 

when setting their price expectations” 

- Tim Bannister - Rightmove 

There remains no glut of homes for sale, with the total number of available 

properties just 1% above the more normal market levels of 2019. However, it 

is vital that those who are keen to sell price competitively, even with this new 

buyer activity, as the number of properties coming to market is outpacing the 

rise in the number of buyers enquiring. 

The most positive early indicator for 2024 is that the number of sales being 

agreed is 20% higher at the start of the year than in the same period last year. 

This also shows that many sellers are pricing attractively enough to tempt buyers 

who were hesitant to commit a year ago when the outlook for mortgage rates 

and buyer affordability was much more uncertain. 

Since the 27th of December, Rightmove has seen nine of its ten busiest days for 

prospective movers beginning the process of getting a Mortgage in Principle, to 

see how much they are likely to be able to borrow from a lender, and therefore 

the type of home that they may be able to afford. 

January is on course to be the busiest month for people getting a Mortgage in 

Principle on Rightmove since that service was launched in 2022. Whilst it is 

still early days, this is another positive sign of future movers getting their 2024 

budgets and plans in place. 

The average 5-year fixed mortgage rate is now 4.86%, compared to the peak of 

6.11% in July last year. As some best-buy rates edge closer to 4%, and a first 

Base Rate cut since 2020 is expected later this year, there is overall a more stable 

backdrop for the mortgage market than at this time last year. 

Tim Bannister comments: “Rightmove’s whole-of-market data puts us in a 

position to see the very earliest signs of activity in the market, and the number of 

new listings, buyer enquiries to agents, and sales being agreed are encouraging 

early indicators. 

“Combined with our more recent Mortgage in Principle data, the numbers 

suggest that many are taking action to make their move in 2024, perhaps 

including some who paused last year due to the more unsteady mortgage 

market. 

“A General Election is expected to be held during the second half of 2024, and 

traditionally we see a temporary slow-down in activity in the weeks before an 

election, as movers wait for the outcome and assess any impact that it may have 

on their housing plans. 

He concludes: “It will be important to keep a careful eye on this and on the 

impact of other economic news this year, but for now the data at the start of 

2024 points to building momentum, and reasons for growing market optimism.” 

Paul Bayliss, Director at The Square Room Estate Agents on the Fylde 

Coast adds: “It’s been a busy January so far, which has followed a busy end 

to 2023 for us, even more so than over the summer which is unusual. The key 

thing is mortgage rates, and with rates coming down from July and into the start 

of 2024, we can see buyers have more confidence. 

A major survey of 101 global real estate fund managers with an average of $62.5bn 

under management has found that 56% of investors feel optimistic towards the 

outlook for UK and European commercial real estate investments over the next 

12 to 18 months, according to a new report from global professional services firm 

Alvarez & Marsal. 

The investors surveyed highlighted the cost of capital and investment returns as the 

areas they are most optimistic about. 62% expect the cost of capital to improve and 

59% expect investment returns to improve. 

In terms of Europe, 75% of investors plan to increase their exposure to the Nordic 

markets, while 70% plan to increase their exposure to the UK. 

Over the next 12 to 18 months, the survey found that investors are keenest to back 

ventures that cater to travel and leisure, work and shopping, with 87% looking 

to invest in hotel and leisure, 71% in office buildings and 67% in retail. The care 

home and assisted living sector is set to receive the least interest, with only 23% 

looking to invest in that sector. 

The survey also found that investors are nearly unanimous in their views on 

ESG, with 97% saying that ESG forms an important part of their investment 

strategy. Energy efficient upgrades, smart building technology and green building 

certifications are the key focus areas for ESG-oriented investors. 

Kersten Muller, Managing Director at Alvarez & Marsal said: “The growing 

consensus that interest rates have peaked suggests that the worst of the uncertainty 

may be behind us. While this could pave the way for a rebound in the real estate 

sector in 2024, investors should continue to exercise caution when evaluating the 

types of properties and markets they deem worthy of their capital.”

“We’ve seen a lot of activity from first-time buyers, now ready to make their 

move at the start of the year, and with mortgage rates more settled, we’re 

also starting to see upsizers return who are now more confident to take out a 

larger mortgage for a bigger home. The market is just getting started, but we’re 

optimistic about what 2024 can bring.” 

Nathan Emerson CEO of Propertymark comments:“Sellers will no doubt 

be happy that their homes have increased in value month on month despite the 

challenging economic situation. 

“Serious buyers continue to complete on their homes, but what we now hope 

is that this increase, combined with lower interest rates could encourage those 

homeowners who have been holding back on their next home move due to 

previous economic turmoil. 

“It is now vital that the UK Government continues working towards reducing 

inflation to increase momentum in the market.”

I LOVE WHERE I LIVE

I love where I live… 

Caerwent 

With a fascinating history and beautiful setting, Caerwent also has a strong 

community, where volunteering runs deep, says postmistress Angelique Gittings, 

who enjoys running a business that’s at the hub of local life.. 

There are coaches to the primary school in Rogiet and to 

Caldicot, Chepstow and Monmouth secondary schools. 

We are lucky to have two community spaces in the village; 

the village hall and the community centre. Between them 

they host classes for all ages and interests, from archery to 

Zumba, short mat bowls to historic sword fighting. The 

community centre also has a newly-refurbished meeting 

room, with excellent facilities. Both spaces are available to 

hire for parties and sporting events. 

Describe the vibe in your favourite local café 

or pub… 

The Coach and Horses is the only pub left in the village. It is 

good for relaxed evenings and meals and also caters for wakes 

and wedding parties and celebration afternoon teas. 

The Baptist Chapel runs a village café on Friday mornings. It 

is incredibly friendly and inclusive and brings young and old 

together for a chat and some lovely food. 

The Church runs a Community café on Monday mornings, 

whose aim is the same, as well as running craft classes. 

Further afield is The Marmalade House in Chepstow, which 

has a vintage feel with excellent choices of tea and cakes, and 

the Cwtch Cabin in Langstone which is very cosy, especially 

in winter. 

What leisure pursuits do you enjoy locally? 

Eating out, walking, and volunteering. 

So, where are your favourite places for eating 

out? 

For a celebration, Panevino in Chepstow. For a more casual 

occasion, Ego at The Groes Wen Inn, Penhow; Los Reyes 

Tapas & Wine Bar, Caerleon or the Rock and Fountain in 

Penhow. 

And your favourite walks? 

I enjoy walking in Wentwood Forest, with a stop for a 

yummy hot chocolate at The Glade Tearooms. I also like 

walking in the Wye Valley around Tintern, with a stop at the 

Wild Hare for excellent hot chocolate and some immense 

sandwiches. 

In what ways are you involved in your local 

community? 

I was a community councillor for two years and currently 

serve on the Caerwent Village Hall and Playing Fields 

Association committee. 

As postmistress I am the collector of ‘things’. I sell tickets 

for local events, collect items for tombolas, take in 

donations for the food bank and collect subs for the village 

newsletter, the Caerwent Meadows Project and the Church 

200 club. The Post Office is the hub for anything local 

that helps the village. We also recycle batteries and crisp 

packets. 

We always have a painted window for the living Advent 

calendar and the Scarecrow trail and are a place to leave 

donations of surplus produce to reduce waste. 

What’s been the most exciting recent 

development in the area? 

Fibre! 

Connectivity issues really came to the fore with the 

blossoming of remote working in recent years. Half the 

village now have it and it is gradually being laid in the other 

part. 

It will be amazing to have reliable, fast Broadband. 

What’s the social life like in Caerwent? 

Well, the Coach and Horses is open for food and drink 

most days and evenings and the Caerwent Village Hall 

and Playing Fields Association run monthly events at the 

village hall. This year we have had a quiz night, Macmillan 

cake and book fair, the village summer fete, family Friday 

socials, car boot sales and coming up in November is our 

Christmas shopping night and then two Christmas parties 

in December for the over 60’s and the village children. 

There is also the Caerwent Meadows Project which has 

leased the CADW land around the roman ruins and has 

managed this to make an old fashioned meadow. It was 

recently awarded a Green Flag Award for environmental 

excellence. 

Which village events have you most enjoyed 

recently? 

One was the Caerwent Village Fete and Produce show in 

the summer, for which we were blessed with beautiful 

weather. As a committee we managed to pull off the right 

mix of free and very low cost activities to draw in families 

from the village and surrounds and it was a lovely relaxed 

day with loads of smiley faces – an incredible team effort 

that was appreciated by everyone. 

I also enjoyed the Chapel wreath making event for the ladies 

of the village, back in December. I am really looking forward 

to this one again. 

How would you advise someone new into the 

area to get to know the locals? 

Come to the Post Office! We advertise all the local events 

and businesses in the window. Everyone is also very friendly 

and chatty in the queue! 

You could also go to one of the coffee mornings run by the 

church and chapel or to the pub, where again people will 

chat and make you welcome. 

Tell me one fascinating fact about 

Caerwent… 

Roman Caerwent, or Venta Silurum, was established in 

about 75AD as a settlement for the finally vanquished local 

Silures tribe. The town was dissected by the Roman road 

from Gloucester to the legionary fortress at Caerleon.

When I was made redundant from my last job, six years ago, 

the opportunity arose to take over the Caerwent Post Office 

and shop, with accommodation. I loved how the former 

postmistress had transformed the shop and was really excited 

to take over and carry on the ethos of the Post Office being 

the heart of the community, supporting other local businesses 

in the process. 

What makes Caerwent unique? 

The Roman ruins are spectacular. Caerwent was an important 

town in the Roman era and had temples, shops, a forum 

and fortified walls surrounding the town. The foundations 

of many of the buildings have been excavated and are on 

display, looked after by CADW. The walls form a great walk 

around the village with spectacular views to Wentwood 

Forest and beyond and at night the Severn crossing is visible 

in the distance. The nearby forest has excellent trails for 

walking, riding and mountain biking. 

There is an army training base on the outskirts of the village 

on the former munitions factory site. They regularly train 

with helicopters and armoured vehicles lumbering into the 

village are a regular sight. It can give us some very load 

bangs at times but it soon becomes part of the soundscape of 

the village and not intrusive at all! 

For you, personally, what’s the best thing 

about living there? 

The community here is incredibly friendly and welcoming, 

especially if you have dogs. Sebastien, our Post Office cat 

holds his own with them, though and most know to give him 

a wide berth when he is on the forecourt! 

The community spirit was especially evident during the 

pandemic years. Volunteering runs deep in this village, as 

can be seen with the Caerwent Meadows project and the 

Village Hall and Playing Fields Association, as well as all the 

sports clubs. Villagers are very happy to give up their free 

time to help, especially for the youngsters, and to make the 

environment the best it can be for all of us. 

What, if anything, spoils it for you? 

Construction lorries using the village as a short cut and 

vehicles speeding through the village. It is a perennial 

problem that comes up in the community council meetings 

on a regular basis but is very difficult to solve. 

What sort of people does Caerwent attract? Is 

it a good place to bring up a family? 

Caerwent has a very mixed demographic with a good spread 

of ages. There are lots of parks and green spaces and familyfriendly 

facilities. It has a private nursery (Mathern Day 

nursery at Caerwent); the Baptist Chapel run Little Fishes, a 

baby and toddler group once a week in term time, and there 

is a Monmouthshire-run youth club in the community centre. 

Villagers are very happy to give up their free time to help, especially for the 

youngsters…

Interior Design 

Trends 2024 

Before we embark on this style journey, we want to 

emphasise that we aren’t suggesting a complete overhaul of 

your space. Think of this round up as a curated exploration 

of trends to draw inspiration for your future projects. 

Earthy elegance 

For a calming, relaxed, and welcoming interior, earthy or nature-inspired tones are 

taking over. Tan, taupe, and light pinks are on the up, along with muddy colours that 

have a calmness to them—think earthy colours with less vibrancy and more richness. 

Farrow & Ball’s “Jitney” and Dulux’s colour of 2024 ‘Sweet Embrace’ provide tranquil 

charm and versatility. 

Bouclé is here to stay 

Bouclé remains a timeless choice, although evolving with thicker piles and diverse 

colour palettes, it’s a classic and always adds a beautiful texture to a room. Discover this 

trend by exploring the statement Oliver sofa in Bouclé, available at www.sohohome. 

com 

Texture trumps gloss 

Say goodbye to high-gloss walls! Embrace textured finishes such as Roman clay, 

Limewash, or hand-tooled plaster for a more tactile and artisanal feel. Dive into this 

earth-inspired approach and explore www.bauwerkcolour.com. Their unique paints 

work differently, as they are made with clay, minerals and beautiful natural pigments. 

Chrome 

Once a staple in bathrooms and kitchens, chrome makes a softer comeback in fluid and 

organic shapes. Stainless steel, aluminium, chrome, and nickel are making a return, 

reviving the modern appeal of silver. Discover personalised lighting options at www. 

fritzfryer.co.uk to add a distinctive touch to your home. 

For questions, advice, or guidance, contact us. Let’s collaborate to transform your space 

into a unique reflection of your style.

heart of Staunton, Honeysuckle House is a rare find. It has been individually designed to 

be in sympathy with its historic surroundings in one of the oldest villages in the Forest of 

Dean. “The village is very picturesque and highly sought-after as a place to live.

We were very lucky to find a development site in the heart of the village and we had to take 

a lot of care with the materials and the details to make sure it was in keeping and to satisfy the 

planners.” 

The attractive, neatly laid-out garden, designed for low-maintenance, comprises a large, 

paved patio, running across the back of the property, with an area of level lawn and with 

raised beds, planted with shrubs and retained by contemporary sleepers.

Archer & Co 01291 626262 www.archerandco.com £350,000 

Charming stone built two-bedroom cottage. Panoramic views overlooking the River Wye. A tranquil and historic setting. 

This is the first time Spring Cottage has been to the market for 82 years. Located in the Idyllic 

Wye Valley, an ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’ and situated only a short distance from 

world-renowned area of Tintern. The cottage offers a great opportunity to adapt and extend 

to your design preferences. Subject to planning. The interior features two cosy bedrooms, 

providing comfort and privacy. The living spaces are flexible and open to be renovated to 

capture the essence of modern-day living, this cottage does offer rustic charm and character. 

Situated in the world-renowned Tintern, the cottage not only offers a peaceful living 

environment but also provides breathtaking views of the river Wye and beyond. The gentle 

meandering of the river adds to the allure of this distinctive location. The community offers 

local pubs and cafes, a few shops and a doctor’s surgery, plus one of the most recognisable 

landmarks in Wales, the 12th-century Tintern Abbey. 

The cottages grounds are extensive but will need to be managed, to be fully utilised to the 

best that they offer. There is no parking, but parking spaces at the front are located in the 

public parking area overlooking the river.

WHO SAYS BUSINESS 

& PLEASURE DON’T MIX? 

Investing in a luxury holiday lodge at Maesmawr Farm Resort could be more 

profitable than you think with domestic tourism and UK staycations set to boom 

Have you found a new appreciation for the 

natural beauty found closer to home over 

lockdown? 

You’re not the only one – new research has found 

that 83% of tourists would prefer to holiday in the 

UK than travel abroad this year, and this trend 

is set to continue into next year, bringing a huge 

boost to Britain’s hospitality and holiday sector. 

With holidaymakers turning to socially distanced 

trips that are locally accessible during this volatile 

time, now is the time to take advantage of the UK 

holiday market which generates over £9.3 billion 

every year in revenue – camping, glamping and 

lodge holidays have become a great option for 

people wishing to escape everyday life whilst 

minimising the risk of Covid-19. 

Enter Maesmawr Farm Resort. An idyllic hidden 

gem set deep within the heart of the Welsh hills, 

Maesmawr Farm offers a slice of escapism from 

the hustle and bustle of the usual tourist spots; 

this resort is the perfect place to restore and 

rejuvenate your senses, being nestled within 27 

acres of stunning landscaped grounds, boasting 

uninterrupted, panoramic views of the rolling hills 

and countryside of the mystical Severn Valley. 

Maesmawr Farm is part of the Boutique Resorts 

collection, founded by Mark Whitehouse in late 

2014 with the aim of creating a collection of 

boutique luxury resorts that appeal to those who 

seek peace and relaxation from their holiday 

time. Having worked in the industry since the 

1980’s and having owned several Parks in that 

time, Mark has accumulated over thirty years 

of valuable experience and insight into the 

holiday industry. 

This industry knowledge shines through 

everything the Whitehouse family does, as Mark 

has explained in a recent interview: “Our quest for 

delivering a high quality experience to our owners 

and guests is built on customer service beyond 

that of our competitors, with one simple value 

kept in mind: to treat people as we would wish to 

be treated ourselves. This is paying exponential 

dividends, as our levels of repeat visitors grows 

year on year and our lodge owners continue 

recommending us to others. 

We’ve seen a strong rise in demand for luxury 

lodge ownership and holidays in recent years, 

and industry experts are predicting the demand to 

continue to rise to a sustained level around 40% 

higher than it was previously, due to the current 

situation introducing new customers to our 

marketplace. 

It certainly seems that UK domestic tourism is 

gearing up for a sustained period of long term 

growth, which is presenting strong opportunities 

for anyone wishing to enjoy a second home in a 

secure environment that effectively pays them to 

own it.” 

With this focus on exceptional quality, Maesmawr 

Farm Resort offers stunning 2- and 3-bedroom 

holiday lodges for sale and holiday rental, and 

all of the holiday homes have been created in a 

collaborative effort between some of the best 

designers in the business. With outside spaces just 

waiting to be explored and discovered, each lodge 

available offers luxury furnishings, quirky interior 

designs and large private decks that overlook the 

beautiful countryside views. 

Not to be confused with conventional Holiday 

Parks, Maesmawr Farm offers long-term property 

ownership that can be enjoyed for generations, 

just like a cottage would be but with the additional 

benefits, security and support of being on a wellmanaged, 

private leisure development – and the 

on-site team can assist with all manner of things 

to make visits even more enjoyable for owners 

and guests alike with a Concierge-style service. 

Offering an incredible investment opportunity, the 

lodges here benefit from a fully managed letting 

package that covers all aspects of what is required 

end to end – from marketing to maintenance. 

Buy-to-let owners don’t have to lift a finger and 

can simply sit back and benefit from net returns 

of up to 10% with peak-week tariffs reaching up 

to £1,500 – and for those who want certainty over 

higher yields, fixed returns are also available. 

If the thought of a hands-free, tax efficient, 

high-yielding leisure property investment 

with additional lifestyle benefits in the Welsh 

countryside has you curious, then get in touch 

today for more information! 

Introducing ... The Laurels 

To keep up with the unprecedented demand for UK 

staycations, we’ve expanded! Our brand-new exclusive

10 Home Improvements to Increase Your Property Value 

Are you considering selling your home and looking for ways to boost its market 

value? Investing in strategic home improvements can significantly increase 

your property’s worth and attract potential buyers. Utilising our nearly 40 

years’ knowledge of home improvement, we’ve compiled a list of ten effective home 

upgrades, focusing on adding value to your property. Read on to discover how these 

enhancements can make your home more appealing to prospective buyers. 

1. Energy-Efficient Windows and Doors 

Investing in energy-efficient windows and doors not only enhances the aesthetic 

appeal of your home but also reduces energy bills. Opt for high-quality products like 

those offered by Glevum Windows, designed to meet UK standards, and improve 

insulation. 

2. Modern Kitchen Upgrades 

The kitchen is often the heart of a home. Updating appliances, adding a fresh coat 

of paint, or installing new cabinets and countertops can significantly increase your 

home’s value. Consider energy-efficient appliances to appeal to eco-conscious buyers. 

10. Insulation Improvements 

Proper insulation is vital in a climate as variable as we have in the UK. Ensure your home 

is well-insulated, including the roof, walls, and floors. Buyers are increasingly conscious 

of energy efficiency, and a well-insulated home can significantly increase its desirability 

and value by improving its energy rating. 

By focusing on these strategic home improvements, you can enhance your property’s 

value and make it more appealing to potential buyers. Whether it’s energy-efficient 

windows or a conservatory from Glevum, a stylish kitchen upgrade, or a well-maintained 

garden, these investments can pay off substantially when it’s time to sell your home. Start 

planning your home improvements today and watch your property value soar.

fixtures, add new tiles, or invest in a luxurious bathtub or shower. Consider modern 

designs and neutral colour schemes for a timeless appeal.

If you have unused attic space, a loft conversion can add valuable living space to your 

home. Whether it becomes an extra bedroom, office, or playroom, this addition can 

greatly enhance your property’s worth. 

5. Landscaping and Garden Enhancement 

First impressions matter. Well-maintained gardens and outdoor spaces can enhance your 

home’s curb appeal. Invest in landscaping, plant trees and flowers, and create inviting 

outdoor living areas. In the UK, a well-designed garden can be a major selling point. 

COVID reinforced the importance for us all of making the most of any private outside 

space that we have. 

6. Smart Home Technology 

Integrating smart home features like thermostats, security systems, and lighting controls 

not only adds convenience but also increases the appeal of your property. Buyers 

appreciate the energy efficiency and security these technologies provide. Gone are the 

days when such systems had be expensively wired into your home as providers like KASA 

allow you to control pretty much any device in your home with wireless connected plugs, 

cameras and bulbs – all controlled by a free app. 

7. Conservatory or Extension 

Consider adding an extension or a conservatory to your home. These additions create 

extra living space, whether it’s a larger living room, a home office, playroom, or a sunlit 

dining area. They act as a great link to your outside space. A conservatory or extension 

can significantly increase your property’s value and appeal to potential buyers looking for 

more room. With many people still adopting some form of hybrid working – inside space 

comes top of many potential buyers Wishlist’s. 

8. Upgrade Heating Systems 

Efficient heating systems are crucial in the UK. Consider upgrading to a modern, energyefficient 

boiler or installing underfloor heating. These improvements not only increase 

your home’s value but also make it more attractive to buyers seeking comfort and lower 

utility bills. 

9. Paint and Decorate 

A fresh coat of paint can work wonders. Neutral, light-coloured walls make rooms appear 

larger and provide a blank canvas for buyers to envision their own style of décor and how 

to make their own imprint. Repainting and refreshing the interior can give your home a 

modern, inviting feel.
