House building trends in the UK haven’t changed for years and it’s common for homes to have different sized rooms. Not all of the dimensions are, let’s say, generous but we have to work with what we’ve got.
Finally some proper summer weather has arrived but are we looking at a property market also about to heat up? It’s a case of ‘steady as she goes’ in July, with consistent activity. There are, however, indications that more home movers are primed to take action soon.
Tenants are increasingly asking private landlords for properties with good green credentials. That’s the findings of the latest Handelsbanken annual Property Investor Report.
Before you lament about the amount of rain we’ve had this summer, remember the old adage ‘it’s good for the garden’. In fact, the wet conditions may help budgets as well as flower beds, if new research is anything to go by.
Politics, especially the period before an election, can be hard to keep tabs on. With a new Labour Government assembled, our job is to make sense of what was contained in the party’s manifesto, what was verbally discussed by then shadow ministers and what will actually be delivered now Sir Keir Starmer is Prime Minister.
With high summer in full swing, the property market has entered into its usual seasonal phase. Less fevered activity has been replaced by a more measured approach to home moving. This is widely attributed to holidays, the build-up to a General Election and even the European Football Championships.
As we write this blog, the temperatures are rising to the mid 20°C, the air is filled with the scent of barbeques and sales of sunscreen are soaring. We are, however, about to break the early summer spell by mentioning the C word. Christmas.
If you have a passing interest in property, you will know that some people ‘stage’ their homes during the marketing phase in order to increase the appeal. Common tactics involve dressing sofas with stylish cushions, removing bulky items of furniture to create more space and using vases of flowers to add colour. There is, however, a more unique trend that’s found its way into the national press.
Everybody needs good neighbours but what if the people next door are a nuisance? When it comes to selling a property, the requirement for full disclosure means admitting if you’ve ever complained about the people living either side of you, or if you’re currently involved in a neighbourly spat.
The sun is out (fingers crossed), the temperature is rising and there is the distinct smell of barbeques in the air. After one of the wettest UK springs on record, who can blame the nation for rushing outside as soon as possible?
May has been an interesting month for the property market. There’s speculation on how a General Election may affect movers’ intentions in England. In Scotland, there’s rumour of an urgent review of The Housing (Scotland) Bill.
Viewing a property you’d like to rent can be exciting and overwhelming in equal measure. You may be distracted by the aesthetics or focused on checking the condition of the rooms but there are 8 less obvious but no less important questions you should ask while at the property. Print these out if you think you might forget!
