🍁 The autumn wreath is officially up! 🍁

How gorgeous is this autumn door wreath from 🎃🍂 Absolutely love the colours against the blue door — it’s definitely giving autumn has arrived! 🧡

And putting my estate-agent hat on for a moment… first impressions really do start at the front door. 🏡

A beautiful wreath, a clean entrance, a freshly painted door and a little seasonal styling can instantly make a home feel welcoming before a buyer has even stepped inside.

The leaves might be starting to fall, but the property market certainly hasn’t stopped. If you’re thinking about selling this autumn, now is a lovely time to get your home looking its best.

Because sometimes your next chapter starts at the front door.** 🔑🍂

And a big shout-out to TGRQ for making mine look rather fabulous! 🧡

Offered to the market with no upward chain, this traditional three-bedroom semi-detached home occupies a generous corner plot and presents an excellent opportunity for buyers looking for a property they can truly make their own.

One of the property's standout features is undoubtedly its generous corner plot, providing a particularly spacious rear garden together with access to the separate garage.

The outside space offers considerable scope for keen gardeners and, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents, may provide exciting potential to extend the existing accommodation and create a larger family home.

Situated on Kew Drive in Wigston, this is a fantastic opportunity to acquire a traditional three-bedroom semi-detached home with generous outside space, plenty of potential and the added advantage of being offered with no upward chain.

🏡 OFFICIALLY UNDER OFFER | PORTLAND ROAD, CLARENDON PARK 🏡

It’s official… Portland Road is now UNDER OFFER! 🎉🔑

After coming back to the market following a previous sale falling through, we relaunched the property and the response was incredible.

✨ Multiple viewings
✨ Multiple offers
✨ Full asking price achieved
✨ And now, a fully proceedable buyer secured

There was even a bit of a Kirstie & Phil moment, with the buyers sitting in the kitchen while negotiations were taking place in the living room! 😂

This one meant a lot. My vendors trusted me to get the property back out there, create fresh momentum and find the right buyer — not simply the first buyer.

And we did exactly that.

We actually had five buyers who missed out on Portland Road and are still actively looking for their next home in Clarendon Park and around the Portland Road area, with budgets around £450,000–£500,000.

So, if you've been considering selling but haven't quite made the decision yet, your buyer may already be waiting.

Now the real work begins — keeping everyone informed, keeping the chain moving and doing everything possible to get this one through to completion. 🤞🏡

PORTLAND ROAD — OFFICIALLY UNDER OFFER. 💗

🏡 “What’s the property market doing?”

It's probably one of the questions I'm asked most as an estate agent.

And my answer is usually:

Which property market?

Because there really isn't one single UK property market — and the latest figures highlighted by demonstrate that perfectly.

📊 Here are a few numbers worth knowing:

🏠 +1.8% — annual house price growth across England.

📍 +4.7% — annual growth in the North West according to the Land Registry figures quoted.

📉 −2.5% — London over the same measure.

⏳ 53 days — the typical time a property is now spending on the market across England and Wales.

A year ago?

39 days.

That's around 35% longer.

And for me, that last figure is one sellers really need to pay attention to.

Because the market hasn't stopped.

People are still buying. People are still selling. Mortgages are still being agreed. Deals are still being done.

But buyers have choice.

They're researching.

They're comparing.

And they're increasingly aware when a property doesn't represent value.

This is why I keep talking about the difference between a listing price and a selling price.

Anyone can put your property onto Rightmove at an impressive figure.

That doesn't mean your property is actually worth it.

A property's value is ultimately determined by what a ready, willing and able buyer is prepared to pay for it in the current market.

And the national headlines don't tell me what your house in Birstall, Quorn, Rothley, Mountsorrel, Loughborough or Leicester is worth either.

That's where local knowledge, comparable evidence, current competition and understanding buyer demand become so important.

The latest data also shows why looking at the UK as one market simply doesn't work — one region can be growing while another is falling.
So if you're thinking about selling, my advice isn't:

“Let's put it on high and see what happens.”

It's:
Let's look at the evidence. Let's look at your competition. Let's understand your likely buyer. And let's position your home correctly from day one.

Because I don't want to be the agent who simply lists your property.

I want to be the agent who sells it. 🏡

If you're considering moving in Leicester or Leicestershire and you'd like a realistic, evidence-based conversation about your property's value, get in touch.

🏡 LANDLORDS — ANOTHER CHANGE IS COMING…

The private rented sector is continuing to change, and landlords will soon have **another legal requirement to comply with**.

A new landlord registration system is being rolled out region by region, with landlords required to register themselves and their rental properties.

For landlords here in Leicester and Leicestershire this is one to have on your radar for **2027

There will be deadlines to meet and potential financial penalties for landlords who fail to comply.

My fully managed landlords have already received a more detailed update directly from me including what this means for them, the relevant timescales and what they will need to do.

That’s part of what property management should be about.

It isn’t simply collecting the rent each month — it’s keeping up with legislation, understanding what is changing and making sure your landlords are prepared before a deadline arrives.

If you're a self-managing landlord and finding the amount of new legislation increasingly difficult to keep on top of, perhaps it’s time to consider having someone manage it with you.
