At the time of writing, the property market has just finished its first full week of being reopen. It's far too soon for us to say anything meaningful about the state of the market in Sittingbourne. We're not really ones for wild speculation about what might or might not happen to the market, but we would like to share a few thoughts about the factors in play.

With interest rates being so low, the purchasing power of buyers has increased even further.
