Making your next move happen.
Monday, May 13, 2019
The property market is changing and on a weekly, even daily basis there are different media headlines, prices up, prices down, fewer transactions, a rush to sell. Seasonality has all but gone and the window of opportunity is not just confined to April or September. It is not as easy to sell a house as it was; in the past you could advertise the property as widely as possible and if it were marketed at the right price it would sell. That is no longer enough. The current property market is somewhat more demanding and requires an enhanced level of skill and local knowledge to achieve the best results.
Spotlight on Staines-upon-Thames – our estate agents view
Thursday, April 25, 2019
Spotlight on Staines-upon-Thames – our estate agents view. Staines-upon-Thames is a vibrant riverside town offering residents a lifestyle to match. The town is growing and there are clear signs of infrastructural improvements. Proximity to London, relatively low rents and an increasing number of start-up businesses have put Staines in the spotlight as THE place to be. There has been a significant increase in recent years in new businesses per 10,000 population with a figure significantly above the UK average and the town has established itself as a hotspot for start-up companies, including high-tech businesses attracted to the M4 corridor. A town centre transformation and superb transport links by road, rail and air all add up to a highly attractive proposition.

Forget Brexit – Flex it! Keep your property options open.
Monday, April 15, 2019
Since THE referendum in June 2016, many people in the UK, as well as those living abroad, have been deferring their decisions as to their next move property-wise. For most, buying a property is the single biggest financial investment that they will ever make and not a decision that can be reversed overnight if you make a mistake. With the average cost of moving exceeding £30,000 in some parts of Britain and over £10,000 across the UK on average, it’s worth looking for a home that is “future proof” or at least one that will see you through the next few years even if your circumstances change. So how can you remain flexible, keep your options open and your stress levels down when considering your property options?
Spotlight on Burnham – Our estate agent’s view
Monday, March 25, 2019
Spotlight on Burnham – Our estate agent’s view. There’s a timeless quality to the village of Burnham which lies west of Slough close to J7 of the M4. The village itself dates back to Roman times although it was first recorded in the Domesday Book in 1086 as Burneham meaning "homestead on a stream". Fast forward a few centuries and there's a real sense of village life with the outstanding (OFSTED) Dropmore School, Burnham Grammar School, clubs and societies like rowing, bridge, opera and sailing all keeping the community spirit alive. Transport links are excellent, with mainline railway stations at Burnham and Taplow, connecting to London Paddington, Slough and Reading. Journey times are set to improve still further with the advent of Crossrail and have already raised property prices in the area.
A wealth of character and exposed beams
Friday, March 22, 2019
This truly exceptional detached 18th century barn conversion is probably one of the finest examples to come to the market in recent years, situated in grounds approaching one acre, close to Seer Green village centre and main line station serving London Marylebone. Ponds Barn, we believe, dates back to 1780 and is set within a very desirable location, enjoying a private outlook over its own beautifully maintained gardens and grounds. The property has retained much of its original charm in the creation of a modern home with a wealth of character and exposed beams.
