We were delighted to share our thoughts on the trends we’re seeing at the start of 2025 with the leading luxury property journal, PrimeResi. In a ‘Letter from the Country’ Jennie Hancock describes how most properties that have been on the market in West Sussex for some time are still overpriced, but there’s a new […]

Are you team beam or team Georgian? That’s the question posed in this article in The Times, exploring changing tastes in the country homes market. While Georgian houses are always popular with buyers for their high ceilings and grand proportions, medieval houses are rather like buying a vintage car – they need to be a […]

As we kick off 2025, there is more stock to choose from compared to six months ago, but good quality village houses in West Sussex, Hampshire and the Surrey borders are still incredibly scarce.

Bungalows are getting a cool rebrand, according to the Daily Telegraph, with buyers of all ages genuinely buying into the idea of truly lateral living, with the benefits of flexible, open-plan living space.
