More than pictures

As you look through the pages of most local property websites, newspapers and portals, all you generally see are pictures of properties. As you turn from page to page the only discernable difference between estate agents is their corporate colour scheme, which does not tell you a great deal about who they are, what they stand for, or what it would be like to engage their services.  

Homeowners naturally have an ongoing interest in the local property market, beyond what is actually available for sale.

So, from next week, I will be publishing weekly articles that look at property-related issues. Not just about flats and houses that are currently available for sale, although these will always feature prominently in my adverts, but opinion, commentary and advice on the wider issues of property ownership.

After all, there is so much more to property than just selling; I see my role as helping with the move as a whole. This includes not only being proactive in my marketing efforts but also helping clients understand various regulatory aspects of a move as well as the psychology of the decision-making process from both buyers’ and sellers’ perspective.

I also like to ensure that anyone with an interest in property locally remains continually updated and informed about numerous aspects of home ownership. So whilst many of my posts will offer advice on how to maximise prospects of buying or selling quickly and with minimal stress, I’ll also consider other aspects of property, including topics such as market influences, home improvement, gardens, security, planning, etc.

I hope you find the articles published over the coming weeks and months interesting, informative and relevant. And, if there is a property-related topic you’d like to see in print, please drop me a message and I’ll try to rise to the challenge.
