In this video, we look at how to gauge if an agent is giving an honest property valuation (61 secs.)

The first question a seller always asks an estate agent is: “How much can you sell my property for?”. The second is: “What is your fee?” This is why it pays to read the small print when selling your home.

This focus on price and fees makes perfect sense; understandably every seller wants to get the best possible property deal.
But before they jump in and choose an agent based solely on these two things, sellers should ask more questions to determine if an agent is telling them the truth or a load of porkies.

Buyers have plenty to compare this autumn, which makes the way a home enters the market increasingly important. A strong first impression, realistic price and thoughtful presentation can all help attract the right attention.

Every home has a story, from first steps to retirement dreams. Property isn't just bricks and mortar; it’s about people, timing, and local confidence. Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing, or just keeping watch, understanding our unique market is key. We look beyond the data to see what’s really happening in our local community.

If moving is starting to feel more realistic, September is a useful time to prepare. Understanding your budget, priorities and local property search now could make things much easier when the right home appears.

Scrolling property portals is useful, but registering with an estate agency can give buyers a more personal, proactive search experience, especially when the right home is about to come to market.
