If you think 2024 is the year to move and you are unsure where or when to start - the time is now!

Either have an online instant valuation or if you have already had one of these, it is time to meet us in person.

National statistics tell us it takes over six months from placing your property on the market to the day you complete. So if you leave your preparation until the spring, when most clients start surfacing from hibernation, you won't be moving until October 2024 at the earliest!

And that's not considering the work you need to do before selling. Check out our other blog, "you do not need to bake bread" for valuable tips. But here's a valuable insider tip I have shared (in confidence with clients for years). Be sure to sell your property before spring because this is the time everyone else does.

Spring is often considered the busy season for selling properties in England. This is because the weather is generally milder, gardens and outdoor spaces look their best, and people often feel more motivated to change during this time. You can expect a significant increase in property listings from March to May.

But Cambridge, like many larger cities, is diverse and multicultural. With prestigious universities and a strong economy, it attracts house buyers from all over the world. The University of Cambridge, one of the world's top academic institutions, and the city's thriving technology and research sectors make it an attractive destination for international students, academics, and professionals. Additionally, international students come to Cambridge to pursue their education, and some may choose to invest in property during their time in the city.

Furthermore, multinational companies and research institutions in the area may relocate employees from various parts of the world, leading to a diverse group of house buyers. Finally the city's historic and picturesque charm and proximity to London can make it appealing to individuals and investors from different countries looking to buy property in the United Kingdom.

In a nutshell, this means we have buyers looking every day of every week of every month for their next home or investment. Play the market well, and you could place yours on the market when there is little competition and plenty of eagerly waiting buyers, ready to view and make an offer. If you want to get ahead of the curve and learn more inside information, arrange for one of our experienced valuers to look around your property.
