Letting agents are a lot like banks. Once a landlord has signed up with an agent, they often don't change; it's too much hassle. But this can mean that many landlords are tied to an agent they're unhappy with. This isn't really good enough, is it?

The South Ockendon and Aveley property market is like a seesaw. For the last two years, it has been quite firmly in the realms of a 90% seller's/10% buyer's market.

Selling an inherited property can be a daunting prospect at the best of times. First there is the emotional impact of dealing with the loss of a relative or friend. And then there are the legal responsibilities, paperwork and financial matters to consider…

There's concern among some landlords about how this new law might affect them since many don't yet know what impact it could potentially cause in terms of whether certain homes become "unrentable" due to either misunderstanding tenant’s rights as well as the risk of mortgage default rates raising even further than already proposed.

Even though the average value of a South Ockendon and Aveley first-time buyer property has risen by 332.4% since 1989 to £321,120, the monthly payments South Ockendon and Aveley first-time buyers must make on their mortgages as a proportion of their take-home pay is 43.8% less today compared to 1989.

Many South Ockendon and Aveley homeowners and landlords have been contacting me recently and asking what will happen to the local (and the UK) property market? More specifically, will we have a repeat of the 2008/9 Credit Crunch property crash?

We've all been there. You apply for a credit card or a loan, and they start to process the application. Your heart rate rises just a touch. And then, after what feels like an age, the application passes. Or it doesn't.

Summer is a wonderful time to sell your home. A peak of activity in every estate agent's calendar. Whatever the reasons, the summer property market always heats up (sorry, terrible pun!) and the number of sales increases. So, what should you do if you plan a big summer getaway and also want to sell your home?

We spend lots of our time outdoors during Summer, so when staging a home for sale during the warmer months, it's time to let your outside space sing.

If you've been searching for property recently, you may have noticed the property listings now have to note the tenure. Here we will explain the different tenures and what they mean to a buyer and property owner.

The Hornchurch property market is on the cusp of a tipping point. It’s a tipping point that will influence Hornchurch house prices, the number of properties available to buy, demand for those Hornchurch properties and the lives of every homeowner and the property-owning buy-to-let landlords in Hornchurch.
