Your 2026 Home Moving Guide


Moving home is an exciting milestone, and 2026 is shaping up to be a great year for buyers and sellers. With the right preparation and expert guidance, your next move can be smooth, successful, and stress-free.

For buyers, understanding the market is key. Mortgage rates are stabilising, making it a great time to explore your options and secure a home that suits your lifestyle. Being mortgage-ready not only strengthens your position, but also gives you confidence when making decisions. Energy efficiency is another important consideration – sustainable homes can save money on bills and add long-term value. At David James, our experienced team will guide you through every step of the process, from searching for properties to securing the right mortgage, helping you find your perfect home in Nottingham and the surrounding areas.

Selling a property can feel daunting, but with the right approach, it can also be a highly rewarding experience. Simple steps like boosting kerb appeal, staging your home to highlight its best features, and showcasing energy-saving upgrades can make a big impact. Combined with professional marketing, local expertise, and accurate pricing, these steps help attract serious buyers and achieve the best possible result.
