Where should a first-time buyer purchase? It’s about more than simply location.

Of course, location is a crucial aspect of the buying process. You want to be near your place of work, family, friends, connections and amenities. Size and affordability are other important considerations too. There has been a clichéd view that a first-time buyer only wants - or can only afford – a small flat. Whilst for some purchasers that is the ambition, we believe you really can have it all. Read More

In the housebuilding industry, it's generally thought that women are the main driving force behind a house move.

Therefore, it's surprising to learn that women account for just 15% of the workforce in property and construction. With International Women's Day falling on March 8th, we felt now was a good time to ask why? Read More
