If you’re hoping to celebrate Christmas in a new home, the next few weeks could be an important time to get your plans moving. Autumn traditionally brings renewed activity to the property market, with motivated buyers returning to their searches and many people keen to make progress before the end of the year.

Every move has a story, and we'd love to hear yours. Discover why sharing your Perry Bishop experience means so much to us, how it helps others move with confidence and you can receive a John Lewis voucher as a thank you for sharing your short video.

Your dream home could be closer than you think! Discover how our VIP Buyers Club gives you early access to selected properties before they reach the wider market, while helping sellers connect with motivated buyers sooner. It's just another way we make moving more personal.

If moving is starting to feel more realistic, September is a useful time to prepare. Understanding your budget, priorities and local property search now could make things much easier when the right home appears.
