In this 60-second read, we take a very quick look at what happened last night and what it means to the property market in Neath.

Here is a Non-party political broadcast by Alison George Sales & Lettings.

Boris Johnson and the Conservative Party have won a large majority following yesterday’s election.

It’s very early days (less than 12 hours in fact) into the life of our newly elected Government. But one thing seems crystal clear and that is we will be leaving the European Union.

In Neath the votes are in, and Labour’s Christina Rees secured their seat with 15,920 votes. (Conservatives Jon Burns was second with 10,283).

So, what does this new political clarity mean for the property market in Neath?

Well, we’ve seen over the three years which followed the referendum that uncertainty was damaging confidence in the market.

Sellers were concerned about selling, buyers about buying. Often the reason for this was people wanted to know exactly what was happening with Brexit.

Were we staying or were we going?

People needed certainty.

It would seem we now have the answer.

(The foreign currency market, just like the property market, also loves certainty - the pound is at its highest against the dollar since May last year off the back of the election result)

This means we are expecting there to be a lot more activity in the Neath property market next year.

There is still a lot of dust to settle as things get sorted.

And while we wouldn’t dare predict what will happen politically, our commitment to helping people buy and sell in Neath is guaranteed.

So, with the election done maybe, it’s a good time to focus on Christmas parties rather political ones.
