Estate agents find elections may be good for business

Last week the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors warned that uncertainty over the mansion tax has caused property prices to rise as fewer homes are put on the market until the election outcome is known.

Still, it’s not all bad news for estate agents. In a brazen ‘Good Luck in the Election’ email sent to all parliamentary candidates standing in May, one London estate agency are wasting no time in trying to churn up some business after the election:

‘As the election edges closer we wanted to wish you all the best of luck in your campaign and to let you know that MyLondonHome are here to help! Depending on the outcome of the election, you may need to permanently relocate to London. Being a multi award winning Estate Agent with various offices in Westminster, we are equipped with the experience and knowledge to find the perfect home for you.
