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.

You're not alone if you think the way homes are advertised needs a jolly good shake-up, and that's exactly what's happening with the new trading standards rules.

Style and comfort are the perfect combination for every home - not just for quality moments, but also for adding value when you want to move.

The start of every year brings new energy to the property market, so if you had no luck selling your home in 2023, take comfort that hope is still on the horizon.

Well-styled homes consistently sell for the highest prices, and if you're planning to move this year, January is the perfect time to bag some designer bargains and stage your home to perfection.

Yes, there’s turkey to finish, new gadgets to play with and chocolate for days, but what happens next?

If you want to move home in spring, winter is the time to get it live on the market, but does anyone actually buy at this time of year? Well, yes, they do.

If your home has been on the market for a while, something probably needs to change to get your move underway.

"Whatever you have in your rooms, think first of the walls" - wise words indeed from pattern and textile god William Morris (and nobody could call his designs neutral).

With more than 9 out of 10 buyers searching for a property online, the way your home appears on websites like Rightmove and Zoopla directly impacts your chances of a sale. But the portals are more than just pages and pages of property. They gather valuable data that shows how well your home is competing with similar listings, and why it may not be selling. Your agent can produce a performance report for your home from every portal they use, but to get the most value out of the information, it helps to understand the inner workings of the platforms.
