𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗯𝘂𝘆𝗲𝗿𝘀. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲.

A property like The Manor House was never about finding 𝘢 buyer. It was about finding 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗯𝘂𝘆𝗲𝗿 - someone who would walk through the door, fall in love with it and understand exactly what made it special.

And that’s exactly what happened.

From the moment these buyers found The Manor House, they knew. They were committed, our sellers were committed, and everyone worked together to make the move happen.

In the current market, 𝘣𝘶𝘺𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦. They have to be unearthed. Conversations need to be had, previous enquiries revisited, databases worked and opportunities actively created.

Because sometimes the perfect buyer for a property simply hasn’t found it yet.

Another set of keys handed over and another move complete.

This was a straightforward story of a committed buyer who knew this was the home for them, and motivated sellers who were equally ready for their next chapter.

A big thank you to everyone involved for working together to get this one over the line.

Wishing both our sellers and the new owners every happiness with what comes next. 🥂

52,772 new homes were built across the UK during the second quarter of 2026, an increase of 7.4% on the previous quarter.

Despite that quarterly improvement, the number remains 1.9% lower than the same period last year, showing that while building activity has picked up, new housing delivery is still slightly behind 2025 levels.

It comes at an interesting point for the wider property market. 𝘽𝙪𝙮𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙘𝙪𝙧𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙡𝙮 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙞𝙘𝙚, 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙣𝙪𝙢𝙗𝙚𝙧 𝙤𝙛 𝙝𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙨𝙖𝙡𝙚 𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙩𝙨 𝙝𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙡𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙡 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙧 𝙞𝙣 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙖 𝙙𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙙𝙚, 𝙬𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙚 𝙝𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙜𝙖𝙜𝙚 𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙨 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙪𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙞𝙣𝙛𝙡𝙪𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙖𝙛𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙙𝙖𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙙𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣-𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜.

As we head into the traditionally busier autumn period, it will be interesting to see whether the improvement in new-home construction continues alongside an expected seasonal increase in market activity.
