Head over heels in love with your home?

Buying a home is like falling in love. You can expect to go through the same ups and downs, emotional tugs and pulls, and even similar stages.


  • The one that got away? Don't panic, there are plenty more fish in the sea! 2023 is predicted to be a buyer’s market and around 1 million properties are expected to change hands (UK Finance).
  • Broken heart? Don’t worry, it’s not just you! It is estimated in the region of 1 in 3 property sales fall through before completion. Buyers having a change of heart is the biggest cause.
  • Hopelessly devoted to that home? Don’t be a fool in love, never settle for what doesn’t feel right! According to the 2021/22 English Housing Survey an owner-occupier spends on average 17.6 years in their home, so pick well as you are in it for the long haul!
