Summer 2024

Whilst the snap election seemed to pause the property market somewhat, post-election we should see more activity than perhaps usual during the school summer holidays.

Life is moving on, and you need to do the same, cracking on with scoping out your search area, understanding the local market and getting in a proceedable position should be a high priority now.

Competition is bound to pick up as the Autumn arrives and will ideally be accompanied by interest rate drops, so being ahead of the pack, or short-circuiting the research by employing Stacks, will mean you’re taken seriously at the moment, even if you’re not chain-free.

As ever it is a case of having your finger very much on the pulse and being in a position where you can move effectively and quickly when the right property comes – we don’t predict a glut of stock, but ‘your house’ might be on its way to market right now!

Get in touch to see how Stacks can help you in your 2024 househunting.

How we can help you

View our property finder services

When making probably the most important financial decision of your life, it pays to have the right advisors at your side.

Property Finder Service

We search high and low, on the market and off the market, and we keep hunting until we’ve found the right property for you. Next we negotiate the best price and terms on your behalf. And then we make sure you enjoy a hassle-free move.

Downsizing or Resizing

Retirement or semi-retirement is an exciting stage in life. Finding the right home to live in and enjoy it to the full is important. We know that and will do all that we can to understand what you’re looking for… before starting to search. And search we will, until we find the house of your dreams.

Moving from Abroad

Relocating is time consuming and stressful. We regularly work with clients who live abroad. We hunt, short-list, prepare your viewings, and make the search process as easy as possible. We oversee the negotiations, manage the conveyancing, and deal with the headaches, so you can concentrate on other aspects of your move.

Holiday Home Hunt

A holiday home is often an interesting mix of investment and heartfelt connection. You want to use it, but you may well also be keen for others to use it too. We can advise you on what factors to consider in making your decision. And we can then find the perfect holiday home for you to enjoy.

Investing in UK Property

Others say, ‘location, location, location’. We say, ‘location, purpose, price, capital growth, rental returns’… the list goes on. Knowing the market is critical. Local knowledge is key. We ensure all aspects of your investment decision are addressed. Finding, analysing, negotiating, and completing… it’s what we do.

You have earned every penny of this cheque and what is more, you have done it with great courtesy and good humour. It has been very pleasant working with you.

“Encouraging me to think creatively about what could work for me.”
