Today marks a truly special occasion for us at Sure Sales & Lettings: our 23rd anniversary! We're incredibly proud of this milestone and want to extend our sincerest gratitude to everyone who has been a part of our journey.

A change of tenancy is a useful opportunity to review more than the rent. From property condition to compliance and management, a little preparation this autumn can help create a smoother next let.

A move often starts long before a property is officially listed. If selling within the next few months is becoming a realistic possibility, September is a good time to work out what needs to happen first.

Autumn activity is returning to the property market, but affordability continues to shape decisions. We look at the latest prices, buyer demand, mortgage figures and what they mean for movers.
