September is traditionally a very busy time in the housing market. Many buyers return to house hunting after their summer holidays looking to make purchases that can complete before Christmas. We also generally see a spike in new instructions and properties coming to the market.
This month is no different! Couple the above with the fact that the stamp duty holiday up to £250,000 ends 30th September 2021 it is safe to say it is very busy in our offices at the moment.
The housing market remains strong and we expect activity to stay very good as we move in to the fourth quarter of 2021.

Last week we had a couple in our office in Gorleston looking for a detached bungalow. We had no detached bungalows in the area that they were looking to offer, however, we had an excellent extended semi! The couple didn’t want to view but Eleanor suggested since they were in the area and struggling to find they should take a look!.....
60 minutes later we received an offer from them and they are now proceeding with the purchase! They are over the moon with the bungalow.
At Aldreds we always match our properties to clients on our database and who are looking to purchase across our areas. Although we advertise heavily online we are not reliant on it and maintain the same desire to match houses and buyers that we have had since 1857!
A fascinating instruction that is attracting lots of interest! Built in the mid 1800’s as a feed and flour mill, before it was given over to residential conversion in the 1950's. The Grade II Listed mill tower sits in a generous plot in a fantastic rural location with three bedroom accommodation within the tower and it's adjoining addition. A particular feature of the property, offering much more potential for further accommodation is the modern studio building within the grounds. This large, attractive building, originally built as a recording studio, offers a tremendous open plan space. The mature, secluded garden creates a wonderful setting, ideal for buyers looking for an interesting, characterful permanent residence or a holiday home/let. Available now at a Guide Price of £450,000. For more information, please contact our Stalham office on 01692 581089 or email This email address is being protected from spambots.

Norfolk and Suffolk have always been destinations for people looking to move away from London and the commuter belts of the South East.
Many have come here for retirement attracted by more reasonable house prices, our fantastic coast & countryside and our slightly slower pace of life.
However, with more people working from home either full time or for most of the week it seems that we could be becoming a destination for working relocators too.

Maybe you have been browsing property listings in your spare time and dreaming about buying a new home. But how do you know if it is actually the right time for you to sell your current home? While there is no one-size-fits-all approach, there are some tell-tale signs that the time is now. Here are seven of the most common signs that it’s definitely time for you to sell your home.
1. You know you’ll make a profit
The best time to sell your home is during a seller’s market. And we are definitely in a seller’s market right now. There is a record-low inventory of existing homes for sale and huge buyer demand. When you put your home on the market now, you can feel confident knowing that you will most likely sell quickly and for a good price.
2. Your neighbour just made a killing on their home
When you’re looking at homes for sale online, take a look at recently sold homes in your area as well. If there are other homes near you that are comparable in terms of size and amenities and they sold for a price you’d be excited about, then now is a good time for you to sell, too.
3. You’re feeling financially overextended
While making a big profit is a good reason to sell your home, wanting to get out from under that debt is also a sign that it’s time to sell. The pandemic has created financial challenges for millions of Britain’s. Struggling to make your mortgage payments is a terrible feeling. If you’re risking foreclosure, then now is a good time to sell your home and find something more affordable.
4. You need more (or less) space
One big reason that many people are selling right now is that they need more space. If you’re now working from home, thinking about increasing your family or having an elderly relative move in, then you may need more space. Conversely, you may also need less space if your kids have grown up and moved away from home. If your current home no longer meets your needs, then that’s a sign that it’s time to sell.
5. You’re tired of the maintenance
Some homes need more work than others. If you’re getting tired of putting money into endless repairs and maintenance, then that’s a sign it could be time to move on. Consider relocating to a home that needs less work, such as a new build.
6. Your kids are getting ready to start school
Another compelling reason to sell your home is that your kids are now old enough to attend school. If the schools in your district don’t meet your expectations, then it’s time to move. Focus your search on homes that are in good school catchment areas so that you feel confident you’re sending your kids to a high-quality school.
7. You can’t stop daydreaming about a new home
Sometimes there isn’t necessarily a concrete reason that you want to sell your home. You may simply discover that you can’t stop daydreaming about living somewhere else. Perhaps you crave certain amenities that you don’t have in your current place, or you just need a change of scenery. Trust your gut, as this can be a strong sign that it’s time to move on.
