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 👀✨

The November Budget introduces financial changes that may influence affordability and confidence across the UK. But here in Flintshire—where £2 million homes are virtually non-existent—the impact is far more modest. For most local sellers, the focus remains on household budgets, buyer caution and getting pricing right for 2026.

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 🌿✨

One of the first questions sellers ask is: “How long will it take to sell my home?” The truth is, timescales vary — but in Flintshire’s market, smart pricing and the right agent can make all the difference between months of waiting and a fast, stress-free move.
