What do game shows have to do with selling your home?

What do game shows have to do with selling your home?

“Life is a Game” is a quote attributed to Mother Teresa, but it could be applied to property. As with all games, there are winners and losers when it comes to selling or even letting your home. Having a great team plays a part in how successful you are, and a good estate agency on your behalf to help you win.

Blankety Blank 

Be careful for cheap agents or agencies that promise to work with you but can't back it up with evidence and leaves you in a contract that you cannot get out of, making you lose money in the long run.

The Price is Right

Be careful about overvaluing a property! Overvaluing a property will mean it sticks, no matter what the market is doing or if stamp duty / LTT has been put on hold. Pricing it correctly to should get you sold.

Through the Keyhole 

Too many agents rush to get a property on the market, thinking this is the best thing to do. We, on the other hand want to make sure when your home is launched it is ‘spot on’. There is only one chance to make a first impression. If you want to stand out above the rest on Zoopla instead of having buyers just simply scrolling past, then it is worth spending time getting everything in place. 

Make sure you prepare it thoroughly so that people looking at your home on the market will feel like its a place they would love to call home.

Countdown

People buying their main homes in Wales costing less than £250,000 will not pay any tax (LTT Land Transaction Tax - Formally known as Stamp Duty) under temporary measures announced by the Finance Minister until April 2021. Now is the best time to buy and sell, the sooner you market your property the better.

Bullseye 

When you choose an agent who you can work with, with fair fees and who value your property you've hit the bullseye. Whether it is us or another agent, we all want the same outcome, to help you move on.

The thing that sets Alexanders apart from other agents are the people who run the offices. All our people are local folk who quite simply, love the area and know it inside out. We are obsessive about the detail, care and attention we give to everyone, whether you are buying, selling or renting.

Deal or No Deal

There are a range of staff in our offices of different ages. Some have bought and sold, some are first time buyers and some are in rented. We understand how stressful the property market can be because we have all been there ourselves. With a range of experience we can tell you first hand what its like. Lets work together to get you a good deal!

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.

As we move through May 2026, buyers are seeing more homes come to market, but affordability still matters. Here is what today’s mix of greater choice, steady demand and higher mortgage costs means if you are planning a 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.

April is a good time for buyers to focus on readiness rather than guesswork. In a market where choice has improved but confidence remains mixed, being organised can make all the difference when the right home comes along.
