The Art of Negotiation from your local Estate Agent
Posted on 6 June 2019 by Neil Moore
Some people are good at negotiating. Some people, it turns out, aren't. Some people hold all the cards and know it. Some people hold weak hands and don't know it. So here are two important elements - prompted by ongoing political events - to think about when negotiating for your next home.
Avoiding the Feeble

To Brexit and Beyond
Posted on 10 January 2019 by Neil Moore
If you are thinking about moving in 2019 you have choices. Consider them wisely. But also recognise that this is an extraordinary time. Nothing is certain. Don't bank on the killer sale.
