The spring housing market is busier than ever. We can report that more houses have sold in the space of a week than ever before.
Even 145,000 new property listings this month has not been enough to meet the high levels of buyer demand that RightMove are seeing.
But they do expect to see more sellers putting homes on the market over the coming months.
So, if you are looking to buy and you do manage to find the right property, you will need to be ready to move more quickly than ever before.
Top tips on how to get to the front of the queue when you find ‘the one’
Search on our Rightmove Microsite
Of course we would say that, but you can be sure that you will be viewing more homes for sale at any time than on any other property website. This means you will stay on top of what is available in your ideal location, putting you in the best position to judge that you have found the one.

Apply for a mortgage in principle – even if you haven’t found ‘the one’ yet
If you are ready to buy, but you haven’t got a mortgage agreed in principle yet, you will save valuable time by starting this process now.
If you find your dream home, you will want to make an offer. The first two things we will ask at this stage is if you have a mortgage in principle and if you have proof of funds ready to pay the deposit.
You can get started by booking an appointment with our mortgage advisor.
Find a solicitor
Do you have a solicitor ready to go to help you with conveyancing? Valuable time can be lost once your offer has been accepted if you still need to find someone to help you to get the documentation for the sale completed.
You can easily do this research now, so you are ready when the time comes.
If you are unsure of who to use, contact our sales team who will be happy to help.
If you have to sell your home to move, instruct us now!
If you have a property to sell, contact your local property experts at our office now about getting it listed for sale. You’ll be in a much stronger position as a buyer if you are in the process of selling your home, or have already accepted an offer.
