This Christmas, we’re thrilled to support the Giving Tree campaign, organised by the incredible team at KidsOut 🎄 Every year, thousands of children flee domestic abuse and seek safety in refuge. KidsOut works tirelessly to bring joy to these children, ensuring they receive a special gift to open during the festive season. We received Giving Tree tags, each featuring a child’s name, age, and a suggested toy. Thanks to this initiative, we’ve collected some fantastic presents! 🎁 We’re so excited for these children to receive their gifts and hope they have a magical Christmas filled with fun and happiness 🌟 #SoldCoUK #GivingTree2024 #MakeKidsHappy

We had a great time meeting up with the team at Homey for a mix of catching up, collaboration, and some friendly competition on the mini-golf course ⛳ Here’s to many more meet-ups in the future and a rematch soon! 👀🏆 #SoldCoUK #Collaboration #TeamBonding

The Autumn Budget has introduced significant changes that will shape the housing market in the coming years 🏠 Here’s what stands out from Rightmove's article: 1️⃣ Stamp Duty Updates: From October 2024, the surcharge on second homes and buy-to-let properties will rise from 3% to 5%, while first-time buyer relief will be capped at properties under £500,000. This could cool investment activity but may make room for more primary homebuyers. 2️⃣ Boost to Affordable Housing: With £3 billion allocated to housing guarantees and £500 million to the Affordable Homes Programme, we’re set to see more affordable housing projects take off, tackling supply shortages. 3️⃣ Market Activity Outlook: Despite jitters around the Budget, demand remains resilient. Buyer activity is recovering after recent interest rate cuts, and 2025 is shaping up to be a stronger year, with projected price increases of 4%. 4️⃣ Rental Market Shifts: The abolishment of tax benefits for Furnished Holiday Lettings by 2025 may push more properties into long-term rental stock, easing pressures in tourist-heavy areas. These measures highlight the government’s commitment to addressing affordability, but challenges like higher taxes for landlords could tighten the rental market in the short term 📊 Looking ahead, the focus is on balancing affordability and supply for a healthier market in 2025 and beyond. What do you think of these changes? Let’s discuss in the comments!

Last week’s bake sale was a sweet success, all in support of Macmillan Cancer Support! 🍋🍪 We had an incredible spread - from lemon cheesecake and cookies to brownie muffins and even jerk chicken patties!

Huge thanks to everyone who baked, donated, and made a difference for such a worthy cause 💙 #SoldCoUk #BakingForGood #MacmillanCancerSupport #CharityBakeSale #CommunitySpirit

Spring has sprung!🌷Did you know that the housing market is most active during spring? Why is spring the go-to season for housing transactions? Well, it's positioned between the hectic summer months and the holiday rush of Christmas. As a result, many people take advantage of this quieter period to schedule property viewings during Easter 🐰 Make sure to visit our website if you or someone you know is looking to buy or sell 👉 www.sold.co.uk #SoldCoUk #FirstDayOfSpring #MovingHouse
