Thinking about buying in 2023? This should be your first step.

Thinking about buying in 2023? This should be your first step.

Whether you’ll be looking for your first home, downsizing, moving for school catchment areas or thinking about investing in 2023, your first step should be to register with us. We market our properties to buyers who sign up to our ‘Heads Up’ property alerts FIRST before they go on Rightmove.

Have you ever registered with an agent before? What was your experience like? We’ve heard that you can be asked a billion questions over the phone and then find out there’s nothing for you, or that you’ve signed up and then been sent houses that are out of your preferred area, don’t match what you asked for at all, or waaaaaay out of your price bracket.

At Giggs and Bell, we think you should be notified about properties that match YOUR criteria, not ours, so we’ve invested in software that allows you to take control of your own property search.

You can register by clicking the image below, adding in the areas you want to live in, your property requirements and the amount you want to spend, and we’ll send you properties as soon as we have them that look like your dream home.

Get ahead of the crowds and get notified when your ideal home comes on the market. It’s quick and easy to do, it only takes minutes, and you have nothing to lose and your next move to gain!

Selling for the first time can feel overwhelming. Everyone has advice, most of it conflicting. Here are the key questions to ask every estate agent, plus the step-by-step process you’ll go through to launch your home the right way.

If your home has been sitting on the market with no progress, you’re not stuck. Switching estate agents is easier than you think, if you understand your contract and prepare properly. Here’s the truth, the timelines and the process to relaunch with impact.

When it comes to selling your home, small improvements can make a big difference to the final price you achieve. The good news is that you don’t always need a full renovation. With a few cost-effective upgrades, you can boost your property’s appeal and attract more motivated buyers.

Choosing a new home isn’t just about the property itself – the neighbourhood plays a huge role in your quality of life. From schools and transport links to local shops and community spirit, here’s what to look out for when deciding if an area is right for you.
