As of yesterday the housing market has started to reopen.

The government has announced the commencement of viewings, valuations and surveys whilst adhering to strict physical distancing guidelines.

Buyers are buying, sellers are selling and banks are lending. The demand in our area is high with many out of area buyers and renters contacting us and seeing the value in living in our beautiful towns and villages.

We’ve been listing, selling and letting throughout but it’s certainly not business as usual.

Our clients have seen how we have adapted, we already use video a lot but we’ve utilised it even more and it’s allowed us to let and sell properties during this time.

Viewings and valuations have been done via video link virtually as we have been during lockdown and we have a policy regarding health and safety which will be provided to anyone that wants to do business with us during this time.

Ultimately safety has to come first which is why, for now, our office will stay closed to the public, opening only when needed. 

We have a duty to our community to act responsibly during this time and unnecessary risks will not be taken.

We have been since the start of these challenging times, available 7 days a week as always and we are here for you.

With two completions tomorrow and several over the last few weeks, we have worked round the clock to ensure these essential moves happen and hopefully now everyone who has waited patiently can start to move on with their lives. 

This is a time for health before wealth and we deal with many vulnerable people who aren’t able to allow people into their homes so please understand and be patient.

Stay safe and we’ll keep you moving 💕

Many buyers open the document expecting a straightforward confirmation that the property is in good condition, only to find pages of warnings, recommendations and highlighted concerns. It's not uncommon for buyers to worry that they've made a mistake or that the property is far riskier than they first thought.

June has been our strongest month for sales agreed, proving that buyers are still actively looking across DL7 to DL11. If you've recently had a valuation but are still undecided, now could be the perfect time to make your move. Here's why the market is working for motivated sellers.

Choosing an estate agent? Don't just ask about the fee. The real question is what you'll get for it. From pricing and marketing to communication and sales progression, the right agent can make the difference between a smooth move and months of frustration.

The latest Rightmove House Price Index shows the housing market becoming even more competitive as we move through the summer months.
