Autumn may not be the first season that comes to mind when people think about moving, but it can be a surprisingly strong time to sell. Buyers who are still active at this stage of the year tend to be serious about completing before Christmas or the new year. With the right preparation, your home can stand out and attract motivated buyers even as the nights draw in.

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.

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.

This Shepperton client purchased an incredible home with us and then instructed us to find a tenant and manage the property.
