REFRESHING YOUR HOME AFTER THE FESTIVE DECS ARE DOWN

Is it just us or does January often leave you feeling a little, well, cold?! Not just physically of course (we anxiously await the return of double-digit temperatures), but in terms of your home. With all the Christmas decorations back in their boxes, those new toys and gifts already losing their lustre and a distinct lack of sunshine around, it can leave us looking round our living spaces with a slightly more discerning eye than when they were festooned with tinsel and fairy lights to distract us.

How to Decorate for Christmas (when your home’s up for sale)

It is, as they say, the most wonderful time of the year: but if you’re trying to sell your home over the festive period, should you make any changes to ho-ho-how (sorry) you decorate your space for Christmas? As estate agents, we feel like a modicum of caution is the best approach here – you certainly needn’t be bah humbug and simply ignore the whole season if you’d otherwise love to decorate, but equally, a sense of moderation can be wise, both to avoid over-cluttering your house and also to respect that not everyone celebrates this particular date. However, it’s still definitely a great idea to add some extra magic and sparkle into your home at this dark time of year, not to mention a good excuse to have a little styling fun!

VALUING HERITAGE

The history of Victorian & Edwardian homes is sadly absent from most property marketing, but the stories of streets add value and interest that we purposely research, capture and portray.

UNDERSTANDING DESIGN

Our descriptions replace corny sales language with insightful & evocative commentary to resonate with people who share an appreciation of beauty, modern materials and period architecture.

OPEN & ETHICAL

Approachability, authenticity and maturity are the very foundations of our business, with a culture of intelligence and respect that sits deliberately apart from typical estate agency stereotypes.

UNCOMMONLY EFFECTIVE

Against sobering national figures that 60% of homes don't sell with the first agent and that 33% of sales fall through, we sell 95% of our listings with more than 90% reaching completion.
