Selling your home during the festive season can feel like a dilemma—especially when the Christmas decorations start coming out. Many UK homeowners wonder whether showcasing their property with festive décor will make it feel more appealing… or whether it could put buyers off.

Thinking of renting out your home? With major rental reforms arriving in 2026, the days of private, informal lettings are over. Here’s what every homeowner needs to know to stay compliant, protected and prepared.

Rising house prices, higher deposits, and affordability checks can make buying outright feel out of reach. This is where Shared Ownership comes in — a government-backed scheme designed to help people buy a home with a smaller upfront cost.

Pricing strategy can be the difference between achieving a strong sale price quickly and watching your property sit on the market for months. Yet many sellers underestimate how complex pricing a home truly is. This is where a knowledgeable and experienced estate agent becomes invaluable.
