At Keystone, we’re always watching out for important changes in the property market — not just in pricing, presentation or sales strategy, but also how the system itself works. Recently, the government has announced a set of proposals that could reshape how homes are bought and sold in England and Wales.

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 🌿✨

Buying a home is one of life’s biggest milestones — whether it’s your first purchase or you’ve been through the process before. And while it’s exciting, it can also feel overwhelming, with mortgages, surveys, negotiations and legal work all pulling you in different directions 😅

One of the questions we’re often asked here at Keystone is: “Why do you use a guide price rather than setting a fixed price?” It’s a great question and the answer is simple. 👉 Because it’s a strategy that works in our clients’ favour.
