Act Now to Be in Your New Attleborough Home By Christmas

It’s months away and probably the last thing on your mind right now, but we need to talk about Christmas.

We know it’s annoying when people jump on the festive bandwagon and drag out the tinsel and baubles early.

But there is a logical reason as to why we’re raising Christmas at this point in time.

And it’s this: if you have ambitions to move home in 2024, you need to grasp the nettle and act now.

Here’s why.

· Property transactions take time, involve several different processes and can be unpredictable. From preparing a home for sale and bringing it to market to arranging viewings and negotiating a deal, things don’t happen overnight. And once you’ve ticked those tasks off, you still have the conveyancing process to contend with. It’s better to get the ball rolling sooner rather than later to give yourself plenty of time.

· Listing your property now – before the days start drawing in – means you have more flexibility regarding viewings. It also means buyers will see your garden at its best.

· September is typically a busy time of year in the property market, as buyers are back from their summer holidays and ready to act (because, like you, they want to be in their new home by Christmas). If your property is on the market at this time, you can capitalise on the increase in buyer activity.

· Things tend to get quieter in the property market towards the end of the year because buyers are busy making their own Christmas preparations and catching up with friends and family. They often put their property search on hold until the new year to spend December sipping eggnog and munching on mince pies.

· It pays to have a firm target to work towards when you want to get something done. Having a Christmas deadline will motivate you and the others in your property chain to keep the process moving along.

If you want to spend Christmas in your new pad, and not living in limbo or surrounded by packing boxes, then now’s the time to seize the moment.
