Are you still thinking about a move? When the time is right, here’s some helpful advice on how to ensure your property stands out from the crowd!

In many years of being estate agents, we are yet to meet any estate agent who is also a fully qualified professional photographer. A professional will ensure that the lighting is correct and the camera is placed in the correct position in the room to achieve the greatest angle and present your home at its very best.

It’s also very important to ensure that the description of your property is benefits-focused and does not simply list its features. So many estate agents rely on the time-honoured feature based phraseology, such as: ‘XYZ estate agency are delighted to present to the market this delightful three bedroom semi detached house ... ‘ Buyers want to hear about the lifestyle and benefits that come with the property. They just want to know whether or not it could be their next potential home.

At Perry Bishop we employ professional photographers and one of the principal reasons people cite for choosing to market their homes with us is the exceptional quality of our photography. Our ‘lifestyle’ property descriptions maximise interest in all of the homes that we sell.

You may have seen property gurus filling up your social media feeds with tales of how they bought a number of properties without using any of their own savings, and now they have retired at the age of 32 with a portfolio worth £10m.

One of the questions we’re asked most often is: “Should I sell my home before buying my next one, or the other way around?” There’s no simple answer — it depends on your situation, the market, and what feels right for you. But understanding the pros and cons of each option can help you move forward with confidence.
