The rental market report, taken from Zoopla is a unique, market leading analysis of the trends in the UK rental sector. The report illustrates how the rental market is able to adjust to shocks such as the COVID-19 than the sales market.

In the last fortnight, we’ve seen a rebound of 30% in rental demand.

There has been no mass withdrawal from the rental market, in fact our enquiries have sky rocketed! We are all working from home and are answering enquires each day from students and residential.

Our analysis shows that listings levels have remained relatively stable.

Rather than withdrawing and returning when the market recovers, we are advising our landlords to keeping listings live. Although we are currently going through a pandemic, people still want to move house. There may be a delay right now but this is the time to be visible to an audience that is spending ever-more time online.

Buying your first home is an exciting milestone, but it can also feel overwhelming. With so much to consider—budgets, mortgages, legal paperwork, and finding the right property—it’s easy to feel lost in the process. This guide outlines the key things every first-time buyer should know before taking that first step onto the property ladder.

Selling your home is a big decision, and sometimes life has a funny way of putting those plans on pause — but that doesn’t mean it’s too late to get things moving again.

If you’re thinking about selling your home or buying a new one, one of the first questions that comes to mind is: how long does the moving process actually take? The answer can vary widely depending on your circumstances, but understanding the typical timeline will help you plan ahead, reduce stress, and know what to expect along the way.

If your letting agent isn’t delivering, you don’t have to stay stuck. Switching agents is easier than many landlords realise and could protect your investment long-term. Here’s how the process works, and why September is the perfect time to act.
