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 💕

If you’re hoping to be in your new home by Christmas, time is running out. With UK sale timelines now topping 200 days from listing to completion, September may be your last chance to start the process. Here’s what you need to know before it’s too late…

August 2025 brought a notable shift in the UK housing market. Rightmove’s House Price Index recorded a 1.3% drop in asking prices- translating to an average reduction of £4,969 as listings came to market at an average of £368,740.

Upsizing can feel like a big leap, but with the right preparation, it’s also a fantastic opportunity to move into a home that truly fits your needs.

When it comes to selling your home, small improvements can make a big difference to the final price you achieve. The good news is that you don’t always need a full renovation. With a few cost-effective upgrades, you can boost your property’s appeal and attract more motivated buyers.
