The Hottest Property Trends in Northampton

If Covid-19 has done anything it’s given us time to reflect on the world around us, and if you haven’t noticed, it’s been a little mad of late. With that, here at Chelton Brown we’ve had the opportunity to reflect on the trends that Covid has accelerated. The first of which are closely linked!

With most being stuck at home for 3 plus months, many, myself included, are sick of their own four walls and are ready to move to something a little bigger. For those who work in business to business or non-customer facing jobs the biggest demand we’ve seen is the desire for a home office. This means that those looking to move are often asking for an extra bedroom or small reception room to kit out as home offices giving them a dedicated work space. Better still, with the changes to stamp duty, home movers in Northampton now have even more budget to play with!

Another trend we have also seen is the desire for more green and open spaces in what we are calling an Escape to The Country mini boom. This has seen people who have previously lived in larger urban spaces looking to move into some of Northamptonshire’s beautiful villages.

Finally, we have seen a shift in demand for ground floor flats.  With more senior home movers looking to down size and bungalows being at premium, ground floor flats are quickly becoming a viable alternative due to their easy accessibility. Moreover, developers quite simply aren’t building enough bungalows and with 131,425 people over the age of 65 in Northamptonshire the demand is massively on the rise.
