Things to Consider When Buying or Selling a Home in September 🍂

📉 Market Motivation: Sellers are often eager to close before the end of the year, which can mean better deals for buyers.
🍁 Ideal Weather: Cooler temps make viewings and moving less stressful than during the summer heat.
🛠️ Pre-Winter Prep: Ensure your new home is ready for the colder months - get a home survey to avoid any seasonal surprises.
🗓️ Timing: With fewer people moving, September can offer a quieter, less competitive market.

Thinking of making a move this Autumn? Our expert surveyors are here to ensure your next home is ready for the winter months ahead - RICS Property Valuations & Survey | Watsons Property Group Limited (watsons-property.co.uk)

The Holt Town Shelter was built by local craftsmen to commemorate the millennium (It is also a bus stop shelter for local bus services).

There is a wooden bench running the length of the shelter with an Owl, the town symbol, seated above the date, 2000. On the roof is a small lead roofed turret with a three-face clock donated by Watsons almost 25 years ago! Have you ever noticed this before?

Delve Deep with a RICS Home Survey Level 3

This service dives deep into every nook and cranny of the property. This report consists of a detailed visual inspection of the building, its services and the grounds and is more extensive than a Home Survey Level 2.

Along with our inspection, surveyors will also consider your individual concerns and modify their report accordingly. By evaluating the property for any potential defects, identifying their probable cause, and assessing the necessity for repairs, these inspections represent the most detailed form of inspection. Protect your investment and commission an inspection prior to purchasing your new property.
