A landmark change is coming - here’s how smart landlords are already preparing.

Earlier this year, Aviva published the results of its survey on how we use our garages. Of those UK garage owners questioned, 28% said they hardly ever used their garage to park their car. 

And just like that, the seasons have changed. Meteorological summer officially ended on 31st August and wet, windy weather moved in without hesitation. While we’re keeping everything crossed for a return to calmer, drier conditions, there’s no escaping that autumn is here.

There are a few signs that autumn is on the horizon (Halloween decorations in the shops, anyone?) and the change in season heralds a change in property focus. September is a peak period for home movers, so what kind of market awaits buyers, sellers and renters? Here’s how August shaped the property industry.

Thinking of selling your home? It’s not just about a ‘For Sale’ board. From first impressions to kitchen tweaks, here’s what really makes buyers fall in love.

Fresh flowers and a fully-stocked fruit bowl? They draw attention away from less desirable areas and add colour to a drab space.
