Buyers often waste an inordinate amount of time viewing property that is either too expensive or blatantly wrong in other critical ways. Additionally, more than 30% of property sales fall through due to buyer or seller suddenly changing their minds. Both these annoyances could be attributed to the agent not having gained a good…
In this video, I am speaking with Ellie who recently joined our property family, talking to her about why she took the plunge and ventured into the property industry. We are looking to expand our team and would love to hear from you if you think you have what it takes to make our clients’…
It’s a new year everyone, so i thought I would take this opportunity to review what happened over the last year within the Chelmsford Property Market and give some advice to help you all along for 2020. Happy Watching! https://youtu.be/FE52BT7u5RQ
It seems hard to believe, but 2020 is nearly upon us. It’s been an interesting, if largely uneventful, year in property, with uncertainty caused by the Brexit delay keeping property transactions in check and largely stalling growth across the country. For Chelmsford landlords, there are some more key changes and amendments to letting legislation you…
Heating. You can’t live with it and you can’t live without it. You can’t live with it because of rising pressure for all of us to reduce our carbon footprint and you can’t live without it because, well, you’d freeze. Of course, the average heating bill per household in the UK depends on a whole…
It’s fair to say the property market has been more sluggish over the past two years than we’d become used to in the UK. But properties in Chelmsford have still been selling at good prices and in good time as people start to shuffle in their Brexit seats and release those hands from the sitting…
Responsible landlords have always ensured the safety of their tenants. However, did you know that under The Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm (England) Regulations 2015 it is a legal requirement for most tenanted properties to have a smoke alarm fitted in any room used wholly or partly as living accommodation? Landlords can be fined up…
Summer probably seems like a lifetime away now. And as the temperatures have dipped across the country in recent weeks, many homeowners could be seeing the first signs of the dreaded damp appearing in their properties. Damp can do massive damage to your property – and if you’re thinking of selling early in 2020, tackling…
It’s fair to say the property market has been slow over the past couple of years. Chelmsford, actually, has been performing better than many other areas and although transactions are still down 6% on the previous year, that’s a whole 2% less than the national picture. So, if you have had your property on the…
If you’ve owned property before, you will probably have heard of the term ‘gazumping’. It’s an odd word, granted, but for buyers it’s a word that can translate as both ‘heartbreak’ and ‘costly’. Because gazumping is the morally questionable tactic where another buyer steps in at the last minute and snatches your dream home away…
To many, it probably seems like all we’ve doing over the past decade is voting. After all, December 12’s General Election will be the fourth in just nine years and the third visit to the polls since 2016 if you include the 2016 EU Referendum. One thing’s for sure, though, this is an election that…
It’s fair to say the housing market has been sluggish in the past couple of years since the 2016 EU referendum. And while Chelmsford has generally held up well against the national picture, with transactions down 5% over the past 12 months and average prices 3.1% up on the previous year, there has certainly been…
