Purchasing a property is one of the most significant investments you will ever make, so it is essential to gather as much information as possible before committing. Estate agents can be a wealth of knowledge, but knowing the right questions to ask will help you make an informed decision.
If selling your home is on the agenda for 2025, January is a great time to prepare. If you organise early, you can potentially get out ahead of the competition before the market picks up in spring.
