You may have read reports of a “summer slowdown” in the property market. But here in Exeter and East Devon, the reality is very different.
Roger Wilkinson, CEO of Wilkinson Grant & Co, puts it plainly:
“This summer has been one of our busiest on record. Between June and August, we added over 600 buyers to our database, carried out nearly 1,200 viewings, and agreed sales worth more than £110 million. And as September progresses, despite rumblings of “Autmn Statement uncertainty” (nothing new!) momentum shows no sign of easing.”

The market is evolving - yes, buyers are more selective, and prices are adjusting. But motivated sellers who price realistically and work with the right agent are being rewarded. Here are just a few of our recent success stories:
A £1.25M home sold above guide price after 17 viewings at a single open house. in the Greater Exeter area
A £2.25M property sold discreetly, off-market, in under a month.
A £1.5M home agreed before it even launched publicly.
Sale in excess of £880,000 guide agreed, exchanged and completed in 10 weeks.
Sale agreed above £695,000 guide after 12 viewings and 4 offers following 235 days on the market with another agent.
Many September sales between £750,000 and £1.75M on track for 28 day exchanges.
These aren’t exceptions. They’re the result of smart strategy, creative marketing, and relentless follow-up.
