When marketing a property for sale, the key is ensuring it reaches a broader audience to find the perfect buyer. The ideal solution is for the exposure of your property marketing to be comprehensive and wide enough to ensure that the maximum number of potential buyers can be found, resulting in a higher level of demand and, therefore, a higher value. This will lead to more viewings, offers, and higher sale prices - what every seller seeks.

Most of us do not think about our credit scores too often. We happily meander through life without giving it a second thought until we make a large purchase. Something that means we need to apply for finance of some kind, and it slowly dawns on us that we really should know our credit score. Whether it's for a credit card, car finance, or a mortgage, it all rests on that little credit score that you have, until this point, completely ignored.

Once you have a kitchen, dining room, living room, bedrooms and bathrooms, what else do large properties use their rooms for?? There comes a point when you run out of names for them all! Luxury properties will often have 'extra' rooms, over and above those that you would expect, and often it is these additional rooms that make us feel that a property is that little bit 'extra', setting it apart from the norm.

When marketing a property for rent, the biggest concerns for most landlords are usually the amount of rent they can earn from the property and the speed they can get a tenant moved in.
