Be Prepared!
Wednesday, October 14, 2020
If you are thinking of moving with a view to taking advantage of the current stamp duty “holiday” you need to be prepared! According to Propertymark, the average time it takes to complete on a property once an offer is accepted is 12 weeks, and with current high demand for financial services and conveyancing significantly extending this, all of a sudden the March 31st deadline doesn’t seem quite so far away, especially when you have your own property search to consider and there could be hurdles along the way. So what can you do to make the process easier and less stressful and get ahead of the game?

Friday, October 9, 2020
Mulberry House is a truly exceptional individual detached country house (c 7,500 sq ft) with separate self-contained annexe built by Millgate Homes and first sold by The Frost Partnership as a new home in 2012. Now back on the market, potential buyers will be delighted to rediscover this property, in an extremely sought-after semi-rural hamlet on the edge of Bourne End village yet only 3 miles from Beaconsfield.
Choosing the right offer
Friday, September 25, 2020
If you have recently put your property on the market, or are about to do so, you will be aware that the first few weeks are all-important. Some vendors find it exciting, others stressful, as they wait with bated breath for offers to come in. Deciding to sell is a massive financial and emotional decision to take; accepting the right offer on your property is just as important. If an offer comes in almost immediately, and it is below the asking price, you may be tempted to wait for a better offer. But this can be a risky ploy and you could find yourself settling for less in the end. So how do you keep your cool and decide upon the right course of action?
Make the most of Autumn
Thursday, September 17, 2020
Whether there’s an autumnal chill in the air or an Indian summer, September heralds the start of autumn and delightful woodland walks as the leaves change colour to red, brown, orange and gold. It is a great time to give your home a mini makeover, adding warmth and texture to every room. As the days become cooler, small changes, such as heavier fabrics and warm lighting can transform your home before Winter arrives. It’s also a great time to give your garden some TLC and have it looking its best before frosts set in.
If you’re looking to sell, you need to get moving!

If you want to complete your property sale in time to take advantage of the Stamp Duty holiday, you need to get moving. At least that is the advice from both the Conveyancing Association (CA) and NAEA Propertymark. Similarly, property portal Rightmove advises home-movers to allow six months to complete their sale and take advantage of stamp duty savings before the deadline. On average, vendors need to put their property on the market by 26th September to complete before the stamp duty holiday deadline of 31st March 2021.
Lakeside living - your dream home?
Friday, August 14, 2020
Waterside living has always been popular, especially during a long hot summer when a river or lakeside view is instantly calming and cooling. Early morning mists can be stunning and waterside properties are often in high demand, especially if the property takes full advantage of its situation. This four bedroom detached house in Waylands, Wraysbury does just that with stunning views across the lake from the rear of the property.
