There's nothing quite as rewarding as a client returning to us, especially when they share such a glowing review. This recent feedback truly highlights what we strive for every day.

The Shepperton property market has changed noticeably over the past three years. Buyers now have far more choice with a 33.9% increase in the homes for sale, while sellers face a very different level of competition from their neighbours. That does not mean Shepperton homes are not selling, but it does mean buyers can afford to be more selective.

When homeowners in Shepperton think about what their property is worth, they usually consider its location, number of bedrooms, condition and garden. Yet there is another detail worth paying attention to: the coloured chart on its Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). An EPC rates a home from A, the most energy efficient, to G, the least.

A change of tenancy is a useful opportunity to review more than the rent. From property condition to compliance and management, a little preparation this autumn can help create a smoother next let.
