My Online Estate Agent presents the half million pound home
With data from Experian revealing that the number of £500,000 homes available for sale has risen by almost 20%, leading online estate agency My Online Estate Agent reveals what half a million pounds will buy you across the UK.
Richard Patterson, Director of My Online Estate Agent comments on the recent lift in number of £500,000 houses on the market:
“Back in May this year we saw the average asking price for a home in London reaching the £500,000 marker (Rightmove) and whilst this might not come as a surprise for the Capital, readily heralded as a top global city, the significant rise in the number of half million pound homes coming onto the market across other parts of the UK was an interesting trend especially given the increase to 4% in stamp duty at this level.
“Here at My Online Estate Agentwe have certainly seen the number of half million pound homes listed for sale rise over the last quarter with properties from all four corners of the country represented.”
