Exciting news from Lafford James! 🎉

Planning permission was granted last night for up to 86 new homes (including 25% affordable housing) on a 4.57 ha (approx. 11.3 acres) site at Land South of Lower Road / East of Fairfield Close in Haddenham!

It’s been worth the wait - 2.5 years since submission in December 2023, and the application has now been approved under delegated powers.

Lafford James negotiated the developer-promoted option agreement with Rectory Homes Ltd on behalf of the landowner - with this result, it’s our third planning win in Haddenham.

About Rectory Homes: A well-respected local developer based right here in Haddenham with nearly 30 years’ experience creating high-quality, thoughtfully designed homes across Buckinghamshire and the surrounding counties.

Key highlights:

- Excellent biodiversity net gain (+20.4% habitats / +14.4% hedgerows)

- New access off Lower Road and through Fairfield Close

- Open space, LAP play area and new pedestrian links

- Landscape-led design that complements Haddenham’s character

- Great location near Haddenham & Thame Parkway station

- 21 affordable homes secured via S106

A big step forward for much-needed housing in the village. Reserved matters stage next!

Massive thanks to our team, Rectory Homes, the landowner and everyone involved.

What a morning, we are now at home, cleaned up and the new car with its white seats survived unscathed!! Now its off to clean the shower there is a thin, well rather thick film of mud that I don't want Tina to see !!!!

Percy and I had great fun doing the 5K with muddy obstacles there was such a special atmosphere with complete strangers clapping and cheering us on.

Organisers were suggesting that we all had raised in excess of £120,000 and over the weekend with the non mud race for life tomorrow they expect to break the £250,000 just from Milton Keynes - what a fantastic achievement by everyone.

It was so heartwarming to hear others stories of family and friends and everyone there was running for a special reason.

Percy and I really appreciate the support everyone has given us in raising such vital funds to help make this disease a thing of the past! 🥰 Thankyou 🥰

😂 Ever wanted to see an estate agent covered in mud, slipping over obstacles and questioning his life choices? 😂

Well, tomorrow is your chance!

My son Percy and I will be taking on Race for Life Pretty Muddy at Willen Lake. 🏃‍♂️🩷

Many of you know Percy’s story and the bravery he has shown since being diagnosed with cancer at just 8 years old. Tomorrow will be his 4th Race for Life, raising money and awareness to help other children and families facing cancer.

If you haven't already, please take a moment to read his story. ❤️

And if you'd like to sponsor him, we'd be incredibly grateful.

MUD HAPPENS… and this Saturday, I’m getting muddy for a reason. This Saturday I’m taking on the 5K Race for Life Pretty Muddy at Willen Lake - and this is my 4th year doing it. Why? Because cancer happened to me. Nearly 6 years ago, I was a happy 8-year-old doing normal kid things - school, pl...

📈 The market just got a lot more competitive…

1 year ago: 2,448 homes for sale
Today: 3,424 homes for sale

That’s a 40% increase in competition.

Buyers have more choice than ever - which means your home needs to do more to stand out.

Overpricing? Buyers move on.
Weak marketing? Lost in the crowd.
“No real strategy?” A missed opportunity.

In today’s market, success comes down to:

✨ Competitive pricing
✨ Focused marketing
✨ Getting buyers’ attention from day one

Don’t just put your home on the market…
Make sure it stands out in it.

Thinking of selling? The right strategy matters more than ever.
