Current buyer wish-lists include:

Here’s what we’re seeing:

Local market tip: energy efficiency is a dealmaker
With energy bills still a key concern, both buyers and renters are putting more weight on EPC ratings, insulation, and heating systems.
- Upgrading an old boiler or improving loft insulation can make your home more attractive

It’s worth highlighting these features in your listing and viewings – they’re more valuable than ever.
