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 😅

Thinking about selling soon? 🏡 Before you hit the market, one simple step could save you stress, time, and money — getting a survey done upfront. Ben breaks down why this proactive move can transform your selling experience 👇

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.

For most local sellers, the focus remains on household budgets, buyer caution and getting pricing right for 2026.
