Don’t Miss the Autumn Rush – Get Your Property on the Market Now

Summer may have been busy, but we’ve seen a natural slowdown compared to the first half of the year as many people took a step back during the holiday season.

Summer may have been busy, but we’ve seen a natural slowdown compared to the first half of the year as many people took a step back during the holiday season.

Now, as we move into autumn, momentum is building fast. We’re already seeing a clear rise in enquiries and more properties coming onto the market — a sign that the next wave of activity is just beginning.


This means one thing: if you’re thinking of selling, now is the time to act. Waiting too long could mean your property gets lost in the crowd once the market is flooded with new listings.

By getting your property valued and prepared now, you’ll be one of the first to benefit from renewed buyer demand.

Potential Property Tax Changes Ahead of the Budget

Chancellor Rachel Reeves faces tough choices ahead of November’s Budget, with reports suggesting major changes to property taxation. Proposals under discussion include altering capital gains tax relief on higher-value homes, abolishing stamp duty (potentially replacing it with a new levy on home sales above £500,000), and reforming the council tax system. While these measures could raise billions, critics warn they may slow property transactions and create further complexities. Nothing has been confirmed yet, but we will be watching closely.
