When you’re looking to sell property in Guildford or anywhere else in the home counties, you’re probably considering ways you can add value to your property. You may have considered upgrading some of the features of your house to more environmentally friendly alternatives, such as changing to LED light bulbs or installing solar panels. Taking steps to make your home greener is nearly always the right thing to do. It lowers your household’s carbon footprint and usually saves you money in the long run. But it doesn’t necessarily translate into instant value when it’s time to sell. It’s important to remember that most green solutions require a large financial outlay at the beginning. In this blog, we look at the different eco features home owners can install, and what they mean for you when it’s time to sell your house.

Viewing a house or flat is exciting – you could be visiting your forever home for the first time! While viewing potential homes can be fun, it’s important to keep a level head and consider the bad points as well as the good ones.

If you wait until the conveyancing process, you could find yourself having to pull out after you’ve already spent money on the survey. On balance, it’s better not to make an offer at all than to pull out of the purchase. In this blog, we share our eight questions to ask when viewing a property.
