Making a new house your home
Monday, July 8, 2019
With well over 100 new homes properties listed with our 15 office network qualifying for London 40% or outer London 20% Help to Buy schemes, there’s a wide choice available for first time buyers looking to buy a new home. New build is a great option to consider whether you're a first time buyer, have a growing family or are downsizing in later years.

Positive moves for landlords and tenants
Tuesday, June 11, 2019
The new Tenant Fees Act came into force on 1 June 2019, banning letting fees paid by private tenants in England, and capping the security deposits they have to pay at five weeks' rent. Designed to reduce the costs that tenants incur at the start of the renting process, throughout their tenancy, and when their contract ends, the legislation places new rules on landlords and agents about what they can charge tenants. The changes will end the unscrupulous practice by some rogue landlords of overcharging renters for minor damages and protect private tenants from unexpected costs that can make properties hard to afford.
