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.

The Bank of England's decision to cut interest rates to 3.75% is big news for homeowners and hopeful buyers in Flintshire. But what does this really mean for our local property market as we head into 2026? Let's explore the likely impact.

The November Budget introduces financial changes that may influence affordability and confidence across the UK. But here in Flintshireβ€”where Β£2 million homes are virtually non-existentβ€”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 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 β€” the kind of proactive, organised people we work with every day β€” are seeing homes long before they ever reach Rightmove, Zoopla or OnTheMarket πŸ‘€βœ¨
