Kew property guide

Are you thinking of selling your home during the December holidays? While the festive season brings unique challenges—like buyers being on vacation or companies closing—you can still turn this into an opportunity. With careful planning and the right strategies, you can attract motivated buyers looking to close before the new year.

Often overlooked but still significant is the entry and exit inspection, which serves as a safeguard to prevent disputes and ensure the property’s condition is accurately recorded.
