Christmas is hitting us at warp speed, and with all the wonderful festivities filling your diary you might start to ponder whether now is a good time to sell your home. 

There are precisely 40 days until Christmas! John Lewis have unleashed Excitable Edgar on our TV screens and the days are ticking by until we start hearing our favourite traditional Christmas songs in every shop

At Maurice Kilbride we know how challenging being a landlord can be. Never mind the ever-changing legalisation, Compliance and maintenance issues, some tenancies can be more stressful than others.

Whichever side of the great Brexit divide you are on, let’s be honest none of us are any the wiser as to what is going to happen if or when we leave the European Union.  

If you have ever moved home before you’ll know that the whole experience can send you through a spiral of emotions.  As much as you and your family know what is about to happen, there are some members of your family that are completely in the dark.

The private rental sector has over 150 regulations and legislation to follow – and that number is rising! but to keep your property compliant it’s important you understand your basic responsibilities. 

When you place your home on the market you’re filled with anticipation and excitement, but if things don’t go according to plan and initial interest fades, frustration and annoyance can set in.

Moving home is hard work and it’s easy to focus on what lies ahead rather than what you’re leaving behind.  When completion day arrives and you get the call to collect the keys, you rush off with excitement to open the door to your new home, but what awaits you could be far from what you expect. 

No one likes a break up, but circumstances change and life can throw up some unexpected situations that make us rethink our future.

You’ve put your home on the market and made sure it’s tidy and the kitchen and bathroom are spotlessly clean.  It’s easy to believe that your bedroom is just fine, but is it what buyers in Cheadle are seeking? 

There is one thing we have learned from 25 years selling property – no two sales are ever the same.  Whether you’re buying or selling a property, there are always issues you don’t expect and complications to overcome. 

With us now in the height of summer and better temperatures being enjoyed across the country, we have certainly been loving how the sun and now a cricket World Cup win seems to put a smile on everyone’s face.
