CHRISTMAS READY?



We realise vendors want to start putting up the Christmas decorations and are distracted by other engagements over the festive period.

However we know the busiest time for people to begin their search is over the Christmas break. More specifically New Years Day which according to both Rightmove and our own website stats from 2023 was the highest day for visitors! The reason? People make decisions while they are off work, they visit family, they realise their house is too big/too small, they decide to be nearer family, want to travel more, the list is endless but ultimately people make that decision and start their journey.

With this in mind we already have several vendors 'market ready' to go live between Christmas and New Year - the photo's are all done (minus Christmas decorations!), descriptions written and they are sat back ready to go live looking to take advantage of all those buyers looking and hoping to be in a position early to start viewing new houses entering the market themselves.

We have a team of valuers across our branch network ready to help get you 'New Year' ready! Contact our teams on the link below to arrange a free, no obligation market appraisal or if we have already been out contact our office to book in the photographs!

For tenants, April is a useful point to pause and plan. With rents still rising across the UK and the first phase of rental reform approaching in England, this is a good time to review your budget, renewal options and next move.

If you are thinking about moving in the next 6 to 12 months, a market appraisal is often the best first step. It gives you a clearer view of value, timing and buyer demand, helping you plan with more confidence in a competitive 2026 market.

As we move through May 2026, buyers are seeing more homes come to market, but affordability still matters. Here is what today’s mix of greater choice, steady demand and higher mortgage costs means if you are planning a move.

More households are reassessing space in early 2026. If your home feels tighter than it once did, this spring may offer the right conditions to move up.
