Insane London Property Sellers

January 30, 2014 By Property Finders Leave a Comment

We completed on the purchase of a house last Thursday. I always insist on inspecting the property on the morning of completion- much to the surprise of many agents and indeed my clients, However, it is an essential if rather tiresome part of the process.

The Absurdity of London Property Statistics

October 31, 2013 By Property Finders Leave a Comment

You may have noticed the explosion in news coverage on London property prices when Rightmove announced that average  “prices were up £50,000” in the month from mid-September”. Yes, it is frightening.
