Housing Market Continues To Improve
There has been a period of steady house price growth since the low point in 2011. Economic uncertainties are now no doubt having an effect in some areas and some sectors of the market, but overall there has been a large demand for our professional valuation services Pricing across our core territory in the West Yorkshire towns of Huddersfield, Halifax and Brighouse. Most estate agents that we have dealt with over the last couple of years also report busy times.
Help To Buy Redemption Valuations
We are able to undertake redemption valuations fully compliant with the requirements of Target HCA, by RICS Registered Valuers. If you are wanting to redeem your Help To Buy loan and are in the process of selling your house or just want to remortgage and find a better interest rate, we can produce a valuation report for Target HCA to suit your purposes.
Economic Outlook
2026 has started with some uncertainty in the property market. Price falls in the south of England
have been reported by some institutions and lenders. In West Yorkshire we see a more fragile
market than a couple of years ago, but there is still activity.
Purchasers are certainly negotiating
more keenly. The sellers’ market of 2023 and the post-pandemic recovery are clearly over.
The HMO (Houses In Multiple Occupation) market has fallen noticeably in some areas. Many
workers from Eastern Europe have returned home, some Universities are struggling financially and
have cut courses, and consequently the availability of tenants has dropped. Our specialist HMO
valuations have shown a jump in yields in some locations as landlords have increased their rents to
cover increased costs, increased taxes, and increased risks from legislative changes. In some
locations, there is clear evidence of HMOs being converted back to family dwellings, or let as
corporate lets to supported housing providers, and accommodation for vulnerable tenants.
The mainstream buy-to-let market has also shown some fragility. Some landlords have exited the
market entirely, and others have increased rents to cover increased taxes and increased risk from
legislative changes.
This may all sound very negative, but with the right research, sensible planning, and appropriate
purchase pricing, there are still opportunities for house buyers, whether for owner-occupation or for
letting.

Surveyors in Huddersfield
The Huddersfield postal districts have a variety of building styles and some which pre-date the industrialisation of the Colne and Holme valleys can still be seen in some of the rural villages that became part of the Huddersfield with the growth of the woollens and textile industry. We are experts in local building styles. Whether you are buying a solid stone-walled dwelling, or an early twentieth century semi, or even a post war ex-local authority house we will be familiar with the typical faults found in these buildings such as delaminated stonework, inappropriate cementicious pointing, lack of lateral restraint to flank walls, wall tie failure, and carbonization of concrete components to name a few.
Surveyors in Halifax
Halifax underwent a similar expansion of its woollen and textile trades during the industrial revolution. Prior to this there were many cottage industries making use of the local infrastructure. The villages of Hebden Bridge and Sowerby Bridge are typical with a high proportion of weaver’s cottages built in close proximity to the Rochdale Canal. Our Building Surveyors in Halifax are famliar with these older properties, many of which have stone roofs, or are built into or against embankments, and can be difficult to keep dry and warm.
