The presents have been unwrapped, the Christmas dinner is eaten and the chocolates are being passed round, so what next?… Find a new home for 2016 of course! In our experience, many potential home buyers use the festive period to search for their next home online – so if you’re thinking of selling, don’t miss out, contact us today!

Sellers: Don’t Miss Out

Many people wait until the New Year to put their property on the market, thinking that most buyers will not start looking until after the first few weeks of January. However, many of the UK’s property portals report a rise in the number of people visiting their websites over Christmas.

Indeed a recent survey amongst Relocation Agent Network estate agents (including us!) found that nearly all respondents (87%) recommend that sellers put their house on the market before Christmas. And with nearly half of respondents (46%) predicting that there will be up to a 10% increase in buyers in January 2016, you won’t want to miss out!

Relocation Agent Network is a national network of independent estate agents across England, Scotland and Wales. Each member is handpicked to represent the Network in each of their local markets and judged to be – in Relocation Agent Network’s opinion – your area’s ‘Local Expert’.

Pygott & Crone were recently named as the Relocation Agent Network Agent of the Year, and if you are looking to relocate away from Lincolnshire, we are in the best position to assist you.

So whether you’re buying, selling, relocating to another part of the UK, or just thinking about entering the market, contact Pygott & Crone today.
