Over the years, I have spoken to countless buyers and sellers who have found the moving process far more stressful and time-consuming than it should be. While purchasing a home will always involve important decisions and legal processes, I believe there is significant room for improvement in how transactions are managed.

Recent sales across several of our Lincolnshire developments show just how strong demand is for well designed new build bungalows. Buyers want the benefits of single\-storey living without compromising on space, specification or storage – and we’re seeing double garages becoming particularly desirable\.

Scrolling property portals is useful, but registering with an estate agency can give buyers a more personal, proactive search experience, especially when the right home is about to come to market.

It may feel far too early to think about Christmas, but moving home takes longer than many sellers expect. Starting in July can make the journey calmer and more controlled.
