Your property news


Moving house is one of life's great changes, especially when people are relocating across the country.

As families grow and priorities change, we regularly see people leaving city life behind them and coming in search of a quieter life.

We took the country to the city this month, at the London and Country Property Show at Chelsea Town Hall.  We spoke to lots of people looking to make the move, and were able to show them some of our most beautiful homes, as well as advise them on schools, transport links and the plenty of places of interest.

Demand is high, so it's an excellent time to put your property on the market. Our view over both the West and East Midlands makes us perfectly placed to advise.

For the more ambitious owner, there is also plenty of opportunity for development, as authorities look for new plots to approve for development.  If you are sitting on land, it might have more potential than you realise. 

Our team are on hand to offer advice and guidance so do get in touch.

We look forward to hearing from you.

If you’d like to have an informal chat about your home, or anything to do with property, we’d love to hear from you. Did you know we have a planning team who can help you with getting a planning application approved? If you’re thinking of extending what you have rather than moving, we can discuss your options with you. 

We have been supporting homeowners, landowners, landlords and tenants since 1888.
