House selling weather forecast, Propcast, analysed the performance of 10,412 property sales across Buckinghamshire’s postcode districts to identify which are the strongest and weakest property markets after Britain left the EU on 31 January 2020.

And the data suggests good news for some areas of Hemel Hempstead.

A total of 14 per cent of the the county’s postcode districts are showing resilience following the UK’s departure from the European Union at the end of last month (31 Jan 2020), with seven districts expected to see house prices in the next few months.

In Hemel Hempstead, there are three postcode areas that are in a lucrative sellers’ market, meaning homeowners could expect the value of their property to go up.

Propcast counted the number of homes currently for sale across the town and calculated the percentage of those that are under offer, or subject to contract, to reveal a ‘temperature recording’.

Three postcode districts were found to have a market ‘heat temperature’ of at least 35, meaning they are within a ‘hot’ sellers’ market. This means there are more buyers than there are properties for sale, placing the power in favour of homeowners.

The following Hemel Hempstead postcodes are within a sellers’ market, with a temperature recording above 35, according to Propcast data:

- HP1 - temperature of 42

- HP2 - temperature of 38

- HP3 - temperature of 35

As each of these postcodes scored above 35 in the temperature recording, they sit within a ‘hot’ market for sellers.

Gavin Brazg, founder of PropCast said, “Although some postcode districts do retain the upper hand in Buckinghamshire, sellers still need to position their asking price competitively against other similar properties for sale if you want to attract multiple offers and achieve the best possible price.

“Buyers currently on the fence about buying in these areas should get their offers in as soon as possible.

“The best way for sellers to strengthen their position is to price conservatively from the start and choose a local, trusted estate agent who truly knows the market and how best to position your home within it for a fast sale.”
