For many, the first time you sell a home is completely different to when you were a first time buyer. This time, you have to balance the sale of your current property and the purchase of your new home.

Selling for the first time can feel overwhelming. Everyone has advice, most of it conflicting. Here are the key questions to ask every estate agent, plus the step-by-step process you’ll go through to launch your home the right way.

If you have ever thought about selling your Shepperton home, you will know how tempting it can be to stretch the asking price. After all, it is your biggest tax-free asset, and those extra few thousand pounds can feel like a sensible cushion. Yet in the Shepperton property market, ambition can sometimes cost more than it earns.

If you walk down almost any Shepperton road or street, you will see the quiet signs of life playing out behind the front doors. Families growing. Kids leaving home. Kitchens are being refitted for the second or third time. Yet somewhere in that rhythm, every homeowner starts to feel it again ... the gentle itch to move.
