Northern Ireland - The Property Market's Hidden Gem

With one foot in the United Kingdom and one foot in the European Union, the Northern Irish property market is unlike any other.

Of course, the quirks that make Northern Ireland such an appealing destination for homeowners can’t be credited to politics – it is also home to a world-class education system, top-notch public transport, and a fantastic mixture of business and leisure.

With this in mind, we are experiencing a surge in the number of people purchasing homes in Northern Ireland from outside the region.

Rarely a property enters the market without interest from buyers in England, the Republic of Ireland, and even further afield.

From families relocating to Northern Ireland to grandparents investing in a second home closer to loved ones, the rate of Northern Irish properties being snapped up by buyers from elsewhere continues to grow at a steady pace.

As the exclusive Guild member for the areas in which we operate, John Minnis is in a unique position to capitalise on this.

Our membership signals that we are a reputable and trustworthy agent and having access to its nationwide network ensures that, when our counterparts in the UK are asked for recommendations in Northern Ireland, John Minnis is the first port of call.

Looking ahead to 2023, we expect that the property market will continue to perform well. It has proved resilient through the current economic climate and demand for properties across all price ranges remains strong.

While there are concerns about the cost of living and its impact on the property market, Northern Ireland remains one of the most affordable places to purchase a property in the UK, and our standard of living is excellent – in fact, Northern Ireland was named as the happiest place to live and work in a survey by Lloyds Bank.

As an established agent with five strategically located branches across the region, John Minnis is perfectly aligned to meet this demand.
