There will always be a degree of seasonal trends because of human nature but maybe the uncharted economic waters we find ourselves in today have created some buying opportunities?

There is no doubt that 2016 has been a fairly "unique" period for the UK property market. We have seen a number of pivotal political events and the ongoing collapse of Europe which has led to unseasonal property market trends. Will 2017 be any calmer for UK property investors?

Aside from the obvious couple of weeks over Christmas/New Year (when everything stops) I think the seasonal trends we have seen in property markets in years gone by are fading. I think there is also an argument to suggest that property trends are more condensed than they were in the past.
