Phew…has it been hot this month?! So, whilst we’ve basked outside, narrowly avoided heatstroke in our offices and on public transport, and nearly had a heart attack when Andy Murray threw away three match points at Wimbledon before giving the nation the result that it craved, the good news is that it’s not just been…
It’s summer holiday time and conventional wisdom has it that this is one of the quieter times of year in the property market. Conventional wisdom also has it that, come the end of the school holidays, the property market picks up again, partly because people aren’t distracted by having to keep little ones amused every…
