National Bike Week

National Bike Week

National Bike Week (5 June – 11 June 2023) celebrates over 12,500 miles of national cycle routes in the UK.

  • On average in England and Wales there are just over 2,200 households per mile of national cycle route. Per home there is over 1 metre of cycle route in the South West and Scotland, compared to just 7cm in London.
  • Nearly half of the population in England aged 5+ own a pedal bike, with ownership rates highest for those aged 5–10, 11–16 and 40–49. Commuting and leisure are the main reasons for cycle journeys.
  • More than one in ten renters who live with friends or in a house share would be prepared to pay extra for secure bike storage.
  • With 4.5 million miles cycled each year, cycling accounts for around 1% of all traffic mileage on Britain's roads. Source: Dataloft, Ordnance Survey, Sustrans, Cycling UK, National Travel Survey, Property Academy Renter Survey 2022

Autumn may not be the first season that comes to mind when people think about moving, but it can be a surprisingly strong time to sell. Buyers who are still active at this stage of the year tend to be serious about completing before Christmas or the new year. With the right preparation, your home can stand out and attract motivated buyers even as the nights draw in.

Selling for the first time can feel overwhelming. Everyone has advice, most of it conflicting. Here are the key questions to ask every estate agent, plus the step-by-step process you’ll go through to launch your home the right way.

Thinking of selling soon? Setting the right asking price can make or break your move. Here’s why overvaluing your home, even with the best intentions, can actually reduce its true market value and slow your sale.

If your home has been sitting on the market with no progress, you’re not stuck. Switching estate agents is easier than you think, if you understand your contract and prepare properly. Here’s the truth, the timelines and the process to relaunch with impact.
