Looking to buy your first or next home?

We sell lots of properties in the surrounding areas. There are always lots of buyers looking to buy. Here are some tips to put you in the best position.

So, you have decided to buy perhaps your first property, or move from your current home. Now is the time to get yourself in the best position possible, so that when you see your dream home you are ready to act and are taken seriously by the vendor.


Step 1: If you are going to purchase your new home with a mortgage, do your research now! Contact a mortgage broker that deals with lots of lenders so that they can provide you with a broad picture of the mortgage market. They will know which lenders are suitable for your circumstances, if you have been furloughed, are self-employed, work on commission, buying an additional home, there will be some lenders that are better than others. Then you need to see who has the most competitive rates and work out deposit amounts. Get the broker to take care of all of this for you.


Step 2: Research and get quotes from a good solicitor. Find out who you will be dealing with, are they contactable when you need them? What are their average timescales? Is their fee fixed?


Step 3: If you are selling a property, make sure you have contact details of your estate agent so that when you find your dream home and make an offer you can supply the contact details of your agent to the agent marketing the property you wish to buy. They can then confirm the chain details.

At Newboulds & Co, our clients only deal with the company directors, we are passionate about the service we provide and make sure that if our clients need advice on mortgages or solicitors that we recommend companies we have worked with previously and even used ourselves.

As we hit the third week of December, the Shepperton property market does slow down ready for the big day. It’s at this time of year, I like to work out the total value of every home in Shepperton, and how that value has changed since 2010 (as that was the bottom of the market after the Credit Crunch).

With only a few weeks to go before the end of the year, as a Shepperton estate and letting agent, I wanted to share what has happened in both the UK and Shepperton property markets in 2025, analysing the trends for Shepperton homeowners, home buyers and landlords alike… and then compare them to previous years.

If your home has been sitting on the market with no progress, you’re not stuck. Switching estate agents is easier than you think, if you understand your contract and prepare properly. Here’s the truth, the timelines and the process to relaunch with impact.

Thinking of putting your home on the market soon? If you’re aiming to list within the next 90 days, this guide is for you. Here’s how to sharpen your strategy so you don’t just sell, you get the sale you want.
