GASCOIGNE Pees and Carsons in Basingstoke are holding Open House events this May.

The event which aims to help more people to move home takes place on Saturday May 17 and Sunday May 18.

“With the property market gaining momentum, interest in selling and buying is the strongest it has been for some years,” said Nic Austen, branch associate at Gascoigne Pees’ Winchester Street office in Basingstoke’s Top of The Town.

“With the added incentive of an Open House Weekend, the prospect for homeowners to sell their properties couldn’t be better.

“Whether you are looking to buy your first home, cash-in on a buy-to-let investment or move up the property ladder now is a good time to capitalise on the buoyant market conditions."

He said the team at Gascoigne Pees will join more than 1,300 branches throughout the UK in the national Open House Weekend campaign.

For vendors, the Open House event is supported by a nationwide campaign and featured properties will benefit from enhanced exposure, increased buyer interest and multiple viewings.

For buyers, the event presents a good opportunity to move fast, secure multiple viewings, and compare and contrast properties over just two days. In addition to the Open House Weekend, Gascoigne Pees will also be promoting the Government’s Help to Buy scheme, which is assisting more first-time buyers and home movers to get on or move up the property ladder.

"The Open House Weekend is an ideal opportunity for sellers and landlords to promote their property and attract lots of viewings from interested buyers.

“Last year’s Open House event held in May featured 11,500 properties, generating more than 24,500 viewings and resulting in more than 2,700 sales. “We are confident that this year’s event will exceed last year’s success. “We are keen to showcase as many properties as we possibly can to ensure we help match the right buyer to the right property.”
