As a team we are following the best practice guidelines provided by the Government.

When people are uncertain of the immediate future, they are reluctant to make decisions. Don’t worry – the buyers and renters who really need to move, will still view houses.

Do not panic - we offer video viewings! We can do Facebook video calls, FaceTime calls or we can even send you a video of the property via Whatsapp or Email. We can virtually walk you around our homes for sale while you stay safe at home. If and when you can view it in person, you can view.

ππ‹π€πππˆππ† – if you’re planning to move home, and you would like some advice. If you are worried about getting your property valued by us in person, we can give you advice or a good idea of a value via the phone. You can schedule a video call with us using WhatsApp. Just call or email to fix a time and we will do the rest.

Drop us a line at sales@alexanders-online.co.uk or lettings@alexanders-online.co.uk or call us at the office on 01970 636 000. You can also send us a direct message via Facebook Messenger.

Thank you and stay safe, the Alexanders team.

If you are thinking about moving in the next 6 to 12 months, a market appraisal is often the best first step. It gives you a clearer view of value, timing and buyer demand, helping you plan with more confidence in a competitive 2026 market.

May is a key month for sellers, but more homes are competing for attention. If you are thinking of moving this spring, here is how the current market is shaping buyer behaviour and what helps a home stand out.

For tenants, April is a useful point to pause and plan. With rents still rising across the UK and the first phase of rental reform approaching in England, this is a good time to review your budget, renewal options and next move.

The rental market remains active in May 2026, but conditions are changing. Demand is still strong, rent growth has eased, and tenant expectations are rising. Here is what landlords should be thinking about now.
