Tips to Secure a Property In a Busy Market

Struggling to find the perfect property? Here's our three top tips to put yourself in the best position to secure your dream home.

The market place is booming. With 7 out of 10 properties listed on rightmove being under offer it is harder than ever to secure your dream home. Here's our three top tips to put you in the best position to get your offer accepted:

Get Your Finances In Order
Make sure you have all the documents you need in order to proceed with purchasing a property. If you are obtaining a mortgage then see a financial advisor and have your mortgage in principle to hand when offering on a property. 

Be Able to Act Quickly
In a busy market place properties are inundated with viewing requests as soon as they go on the market so make sure you are signed up for property alerts. 

Be as flexible as you can with viewing arrangements to be in with the best chance of seeing the property first. 

Have a Solicitor Lined Up
Have a good solicitor lined up ready to act on your behalf. If you are competing against other buyers then being able to prove your financial status and having a quality solicitor ready to proceed can be a factor in the vendors decision making.

With mortgage rates steadier and spring listings emerging, March 2026 offers buyers a balanced window before peak competition intensifies.

April is the final window for landlords in England to prepare for the first phase of the Renters’ Rights Act. With the new tenancy regime starting on 1 May 2026, now is the time to review paperwork, processes and whether self-management still feels realistic.

Rental demand remains resilient in early 2026, but growth has moderated. For landlords, spring is less about reacting and more about refining strategy.

April is a good time for buyers to focus on readiness rather than guesswork. In a market where choice has improved but confidence remains mixed, being organised can make all the difference when the right home comes along.
