Although the property portals get record numbers of views with every Boxing Day bounce, it’s the second half of January when the market really heats up.

Your home is on the market, Christmas is coming, and it's almost time for decorations to go up, but how do you unleash your festive fervour while keeping your rooms clutter-free and ready for viewings?

There are dozens of details that go into valuing your home for sale, and our job is to be as ambitious as we can to get you the highest possible price.

Whether the market is booming or flat, there are homes that sell fast and others that stick around. And when it’s yours that’s left on the shelf, it’s a frustrating and uncertain time.

When it comes to having a blooming garden in spring, October is the time to prepare.

Why is Autumn such an underrated time of year to sell? Nature looks a treat, there are fewer homes to compete with, and if you want to be sure of moving in spring, now’s the time to start.

Everyone has walls, but choosing how to style them can be a tricky task.

Whether you’re extending your home to sell or extending to stay, adding more space can transform how you live and boost your sale price when it’s time to move.

At the last count, 8-10% of the UK were thought to be empty nesters (parents whose children have all left), and the initial change brings up mixed emotions. Everything from grief, to relief.

The phrase “timing is everything” can be applied to every major decision in life, but how is it relevant to your move?

With so much happening in the UK over the summer, there’s really no need to fly overseas for a change of scenery or a refreshing break.

Whether you’re going upmarket to a bigger place, relocating for work or schools, or even downsizing from a long-time family home, selling for the first time is an exciting prospect in your life’s next chapter.

There’s no better season for improving your home than the summer.

If moving home is anything, it's a massive to-do list! Jobs to do right now, others in the future, and plenty of opportunity to wonder what you've missed.

You’ve been on the market for a while, followed your agent’s advice on price, and had plenty of viewings, but nothing ever comes of them. Where do you go from here?

Whether you're planning to sell in the brightest months or dreaming of long days and balmy evenings outdoors at home, May is the perfect moment to start planting for summer.

Whether your home is already on the market or about to go up for sale, making sure it looks the part for viewings, even at short notice, is the way to get it sold.

People outgrow their homes for all sorts of reasons, from pure practicalities to aspirational dreams. Maybe your family’s growing, you're thinking about schools, or you can simply afford to go upmarket.

Daffodils, bluebells, and tulips are out in force, and bare branches are filling with leaves and blossom: it must be spring!

Imagine putting your home on the market in spring, then missing the two best seasons to get the best price, and finally selling for less money in winter - how disappointing would that feel?
