The London property market has rocked this year and no one really knows where the market headed the biggest problem with this of course is all the tradesmen and business owners that stuck in London and don’t really know whether they should invest and expand or contract and wait for better days.
We were fortunate enough to get comment from Christopher Gould managing director of London sash window repairs Ltd he told us that he’s quite confident that the market will hold well and sash windows London will not become any less popular this year. He actually thinks that because of the stamp duty at the moment and the bearish market there’s the added possibility that people will spend money on their own properties rather than move inside of London.
There are literally millions of sash windows in London and all of them have the same thing in common. They will require servicing every 20 years and there’s nothing that can be done about this because sash cords deteriorate and when windows are painted they become stuck. When windows are made of timber of course they will always need maintenance. The biggest thing about sash windows is the fact that you can’t really just leave them. UPVC will last you 10 or 15 years without maintenance but ultimately dirt will get into the grain of the UPVC and you need to replace them. Maintenance is just slightly different in that you don’t throw them away just repair and make good.
I was surprised to understand the sash windows is such a large business in London. Many large companies are receiving literally thousands of enquiries a month and turning over millions of pounds every year. given the information provided above it seems pretty obvious to me that sash windows in London will continue to expand especially whilst people are saving their money and using it on their property rather than moving.
