A tenant requesting to leave before the end of the tenancy can cause all kinds of stress. In this article we will share some suggestions of what can be done in this situation.

If you've ever considered moving house before and read blogs about where to start, there is almost always information about decluttering. Why?

How often do you switch bank accounts? Or dentists? Or even hairdressers? I expect it's not that often. It is the same for estate agents. Either way, it's possible to change if you are feeling underwhelmed, disappointed or disheartened with the property sale experience. And it is actually easier than you might think.

What should you do to ensure your property is safe whilst it is empty through the winter months?

Are you getting ready to put your property on the market? What should you be looking for in this sales pitch? Are there any red flags you should be on high alert to spot?

How much time does it actually take to buy a property? Viewings, mortgages, solicitors - it all takes time.

We all do it. Every year we overfill our schedule in the run-up to Christmas. Children's school commitments, staff parties, gift shopping - there's just so much to do. If you are considering moving house, there is a strong chance that it is not a particularly urgent move, and you will push this to the AFTER Christmas category.

Nativity plays, shopping, present wrapping, and staff parties. It's all go in the run-up to Christmas. There is so much going on at this time of year. Preparing for viewings on your property, on top of everything else, could be enough to send you over the edge!

It's highly likely that you or someone in your family has had to work from home at some point in the last few years.

We watch all the TV shows about renovations and self-builds, lapping it up. We critique their interior design ideas and landscaped gardens. We watch people make mistakes and go vastly over budget. But still, the end result is usually marvellous. A labour of love to cherish - a forever home.
