Christmas and New Year is not just a time for celebration, giving and over indulgence – it is often a good time for reflection and planning the year ahead.  For many that may include thoughts of moving house – we are told that Boxing Day is one of the busiest days of the year for visits to property sites like Rightmove and Find a Property.

The many agents we are speaking to on a regular basis are hopeful  of new stock coming to the market.  However there will be a lot of properties that will be quietly marketed until spring which is a very good reason to think about using a search agent to help dig out those hidden gems before they go to the open market!  Don’t forget, our reduced fee of 1% is valid until the end of January.

If you are thinking of selling, its a good time to take a fresh look at your home and consider some redecoration or decluttering.  Its also a great time to take advantage of the January sales to purchase a few ‘finishing touches’  to dress your property ready for marketing – remember you can take them with you!

We are always happy to advise on all aspects of  buying and selling – if you want unbiased eyes to take a look over your home, we have a wealth of experience and sound advice.

We want to wish everyone a wonderful Christmas and a happy, healthy new year – remember there are still lots of fabulous festive things to do in Hampshire over the next few weeks, click here to find out more.
