A change of tenancy is a useful opportunity to review more than the rent. From property condition to compliance and management, a little preparation this autumn can help create a smoother next let.

Autumn activity is returning to the property market, but affordability continues to shape decisions. We look at the latest prices, buyer demand, mortgage figures and what they mean for movers.

This is a question we’re being asked a lot at the moment by homeowners across SE18 — “Why isn’t my property selling?” And, to be honest, you’re not alone. There are quite a few properties locally that have been sitting on the market longer than their owners expected.

Buyers have plenty to compare this autumn, which makes the way a home enters the market increasingly important. A strong first impression, realistic price and thoughtful presentation can all help attract the right attention.
