How ending a tenancy works under the new rules. Learn how.

What the new rules mean for ending a tenancy? Under the Renters' Rights Act, most private tenancies now roll on monthly rather than running for a fixed term.

That changes how notice works if you ever decide to move. The essentials:

>In writing, at least two months - keep a copy and proof it arrived
>Timed to your rent cycle - notice takes effect at the end of a rental period, usually the day before rent is next due
>Rent runs until then - the tenancy stays live, and rent payable, until the notice takes effect
>Joint tenancy? Notice from one tenant can end it for everyone, so agree the approach together first

Whether or not a move is on the cards, it's useful to know how it works. Any questions about your own tenancy? Our lettings team can help.

Why a "sold" sign doesn't mean the deal is done. '"Sold STC" gets used everywhere, but it's worth knowing what it really means.

In England and Wales, a sale isn't legally binding until exchange of contracts, which comes weeks after an offer is accepted. Until then, either side can still change their mind, which is why a home marked "sold" can quietly reappear on the market.

The weeks in between are where the real work happens: survey, searches, mortgage and the legal side, all needing to line up. It usually isn't a sign of trouble, just the sequence every sale moves through.

Whether you're buying or selling, the same things keep it moving: instruct a solicitor early, reply to paperwork promptly, and stay in touch along the chain. Wondering where your own move stands? Our team is happy to explain https://www.dobsonsestateagents.co.uk/contact

This one is close to our heart ❤️

Now, it’s time for the right move for Helen and her family, and we’re incredibly excited to see another family have the opportunity to make their own memories here.

This is a home that has been truly loved and lived in, and that feeling is evident throughout.

In this market, your asking price does the heavy lifting!

Thinking of selling this autumn? Start here.

Heading into autumn, the sales market is cooling gently, not sharply, and there's plenty of choice out there for buyers.

That shifts where the pressure sits. When buyers have options and take their time, the homes that move are almost always the ones priced right from day one.

Start too high and a property tends to sit, and a price cut later rarely wins back the attention those crucial first few weeks would have brought. The good news: this is one of the few parts of selling you genuinely control. A realistic, well-judged starting price is the single biggest thing working in your favour.

Stamp duty depends entirely on where you live. What's yours?

Two first-time buyers, two totally different stamp duty bills 🔑
Whether a first-time buyer pays stamp duty at all comes down almost entirely to location.

In lower-priced areas, very few ever face a bill. In higher-priced ones, most do. Nationally it's roughly even, but locally, it's rarely close.

Don't assume either way based on national headlines, it's worth checking what actually applies where you're buying.

Not sure where you stand? Contact Dobsons Estate Agents and we'll talk you through it. https://www.dobsonsestateagents.co.uk/contact

Every property type has its own moment 🏡

Semi, terrace, detached or flat: here's what's happening 🏡.

This year, semi-detached homes lead price growth at 2.2%, terraced at 1.7%, and detached at 1.2%. Zoom out a decade, though, and flats tell their own story: up just 10% since 2016 versus 43% for houses, making them better value than they've been in 30 years.

Whatever your property type, pricing it to reflect current demand is what genuinely attracts interest.

What makes completion day go smoothly? Here's what helps
Everything in a sale builds to this one single day 🔑

Surveys, searches, mortgage offers, exchanging contracts: it all builds toward completion day, when funds move and keys get handed over.

What genuinely helps? Fewer links in the chain, clear solicitor communication, and paperwork ready early.

Staying closely in touch with your solicitor throughout consistently makes for a smoother final stretch.
