What would your property be worth in a different city?

Buying in the current market can feel like an uphill struggle. Soaring prices in major cities such as London and Birmingham can seem daunting, especially to first time buyers. However, if you're prepared to travel, there can be a lot of variation as soon as you get out of these hubs, both in terms of renting and buying.

Stamp Duty abolished: Property industry reacts

The Chancellor, Phillip Hammond, has delivered his second budget and used it to urge the UK to "seize the opportunities" from Brexit while tackling deep-seated economic challenges "head on".

As many expected, there was a larger focus on housing than in previous budgets, announcements included local authorities to be allowed to levy 100% council tax surcharge on empty homes, £44bn injected over the next 5 years to support housing market, promises of 300k new homes built per year and most notably the abolishion of Stamp Duty for first-time buyer purchases up to £300,000.

Its the small things that matter!

We know that people are always quick to complain about things with any situation, any job, any industry and in a customer service industry, unfortunately you expect it despite all of your best efforts.

Michelle forwarded an email to me that she had received back from a long standing landlord of ours and like her, it put a huge smile on my face and I wanted to share it!

This is the excerpt from that email that I am referring too;

"Just to add we are very happy with the excellent service which you and your colleagues provide."

So from me to all of my amazing team, well done and a huge thank you!!!
