Ben explains why having a survey carried out before you go to market can save time, reduce stress, and keep your sale firmly on track.

If you’re hoping to move in the next few months, it’s tempting to believe the best homes appear first on the portals. But the truth is, the most switched-on buyers — the kind of proactive, organised people we work with every day — are seeing homes long before they ever reach Rightmove, Zoopla or OnTheMarket 👀✨

If you’re aiming to make your move in the first half of 2026, now is the perfect moment to start preparing. As the evenings draw in and the pace naturally slows, the homeowners who get ahead now are the ones who enjoy the smoothest, quickest, and most profitable moves come spring 🌿✨

November has been an outstanding month for Keystone — and the data is crystal clear. From 1st to 24th November, we’ve agreed 23 property sales, making this one of the strongest months we’ve ever recorded. It’s further proof that when a home is priced with precision and launched with purpose, the market responds quickly and decisively.
