What the Election Results Mean for the Wigan Property Market

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 Wigan the votes are in, and Lisa Nandy Labour Party has retained her seat, but with a heavily reduced majority

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

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.

We can also expect a new Housing Minister in the New Year cabinet reshuffle, and the rumour is the position will be given Secrecy of State status

This means we are expecting there to be a lot more activity in the Wigan 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 Wigan is guaranteed.

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

Merry Christmas Everyone
