This two-minute read looks at how to ensure your home appeals to buyers looking for a family home.
When it comes to devising a marketing strategy to sell your home, the first step is establishing your target buyer.
For example, if you’re selling a slick, minimalist penthouse studio, there’s no prizes for guessing that your target will be young professional buyers.
But if it’s a house or garden flat that you’re bringing to market, then buyers with families should be at the forefront of your mind.
The great thing about this group is that they tend to be committed buyers. They’ve usually done their homework on local schools, nurseries and parks and have their hearts set on securing a property in the area. Hence, when they fall in love with a property, they mean business.
As a busy landlord juggling a portfolio of multiple properties, you might be thinking about ways to reduce your workload or secure a regular income. Have you been enticed by promises of guaranteed rent?

This two-minute read looks at why landlords should change letting agents and how it can benefit them.
Did you know that lots of people pay more for their phone bills, car insurance or Wi-Fi simply because the thought of changing providers is too stressful? This is like a lot of landlords – they stick with the same letting agent they’ve used for years just because it’s easier to stay put.
We hate change. Why rock the boat? Sure, the boat may be leaking and have a dodgy fish smell, but is it really that bad?
Well, dodgy boat clichés aside, we’re here to tell you that yes, it really is that bad. You could be making more rental income, have a better working relationship and not have to put up with ignored emails or calls if you simply switch letting agents (preferably to us here at Greyfox, we’re very good).
