Length and breadth of Britain, that is what you will see below. Charlotte Becque has summoned all her energy to bring you the best of the market under £500k. While the Bank of England decides what its next moves are, we see a slight slow in the market; people are understandably nervous about moving and conscious that they don't want to get stung on the old mortgage rate. That being said, there is steady movement happening and the beginning of the year has been rather more buoyant than many had p

I cannot help but be astounded by the amount Charlotte Becque has packed into this month. She will have us run through the soles of our shoes if we aren't careful. There are pub openings, exhibitions, WOWhouses to see, Art Weekends to take part in and fairs to attend. All in all I can say we have your every movement covered, not in a surveillance kind of way, more a joyful abundance kind of way.

There is much hand-wringing about the market, and all concerns are understandable in the current climate. But if we put our blinkers on and remind ourselves that England is a glorious place to live, it's no wonder there remains real strength in both buying and selling. Yes, people aren't going berserk offering thousands over the asking, but sensibly priced homes are moving and there is confident steady momentum.
