Interesting New Trend in Property Market Is Big News For Building Professionals

July 5, 2011 - PRLog -- Young females under the age of 30 are increasingly accounting for the majority of new home ownerships in the UK according to new research. The study by Post Office Mortgages found that 8% more young women than men prioritise getting on the housing market. There’s also a significant age gap with women taking possession of the keys to their first home nine years younger than their male counterparts in some areas of the country.
Local Surveyors Direct, the property services price comparison site, points out that this means females are actually increasingly involved in the traditionally male dominated DIY and home renovation activities.
JJ Heath Caldwell, managing director of Local Surveyors Direct said, “Alongside the fact that women are much more likely to go out and buy a property than men, it’s interesting to note that female buyers are happy to overlook superficial considerations in order to actually get onto the property ladder. This makes them much more in need of professional and reliable building services such as conveyancing, an electrician or architectural design.”
While embarking on a renovation project such as a loft conversion, new kitchen or extension can be daunting, Local Surveyors Direct has all of the tools a new female homebuyer needs to start transforming a house into a home. The site boasts a directory of property professionals up and down the country and offers free, instant quotes and estimates in seconds. Homeowners can make contact with any number of property service suppliers in the local area to discuss their project or arrange for a site visit.
Finding a reputable company at the right place and in the right location can be a massive task with the act of finding professionals and then sourcing estimates likely to take weeks if not months. Local Surveyors Direct makes it easy for young professionals to source the right person for the job without leaving the office - simply input basic details such as postcode and telephone number and then wait for the list of estimates to appear on screen.
The site can also help a little earlier in the home buying process with its nationwide network of mortgage brokers. A recent addition to the site’s directory of professionals, the section is already proving to be one of the most popular. Mr Heath-Caldwell added, “It can be hard to navigate the minefield of modern mortgages with so many variables to take into account. A mortgage broker can simplify this process and help ensure that the right package is in place to make buying a house affordable both in the short and long terms.”
