The New Year marks a great opportunity to take stock and evaluate your property needs.
Whether you're renting and wanting to get on the property ladder, you're living with family and are ready to take the next step, or you've just been meaning to move home for a while, we can help you from start to completion.
New Year's resolutions
Sometimes buying a home is one of those big tasks that gets delayed, and when life gets too busy it's often easier to stay put, but this New Year a lot of people are finally taking the leap.
A recent survey from one of the UK's largest property developers found that around 1 in 4 people have set getting on the property ladder as an important New Year's resolution.
Furthermore, there has been a surge in buyer activity post Christmas, with Rightmove experiencing a record breaking volume of web traffic on Boxing Day alone, and this trend is likely to continue well into January.
That's thousands of people like yourself entering the market, and many of them may be searching for a property like yours.
It would be advantageous to get your property listed for sale as soon as possible to take advantage of this surge in buyer activity.
It takes time and effort to get your property ready to be sold, and we understand that finding the time is easier said than done.
And even once our home is ready to be listed, some steps of the selling process can seem overwhelming, especially if it's your first time selling.
To help you take the first step, one of our professional local advisers can visit your property to provide you with a free market valuation, and they can discuss your selling options.
It's a great opportunity to ask an expert who routinely sells properties in your area all the questions you may have.
Plus, there's no obligation to sell with us after your valuation, so why not book a free property valuation today to start exploring your options?
Beat the Stamp Duty change
Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) is a mandatory tax that is applied when purchasing a property or land in England.
There are upcoming changes to how much Stamp Duty will be due from the 1st April, and it will mean you might have to pay more.
Therefore it would be ideal to move homes and complete the purchase of your new home before April to take advantage of the current rates and potentially save thousands.
Find out how much you would pay in Stamp Duty on a property today in comparison to after the upcoming increase with our free Stamp Duty calculator.
You can read more about the Stamp Duty changes and how they will affect you in our article 'Changes to Stamp Duty Land Tax 2025 - What does this mean for you?'.
