Are you already in the Christmas spirit? Or are you feeling a little like a Scrooge this year? Well, whether your Christmas tree has been up & sparkling for weeks, or it's still firmly in the box, we have compiled a list of Lune Valley festivities happening across the area! 1. Lancaster on Ice With an 800m (real ice!) ice rink, Christmas stalls,...
A lot has happened in the last year, and even in the last few months! Alongside everything else, HM Queen Elizabeth II sadly passed away, we had a major government change with Liz Truss taking over from former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, and interest rates are at their most confusing level in a long time. We always like to keep up to date with current affairs, but one thing that has stuck out to...
We are deeply saddened by the death of Her Majesty The Queen. Our thoughts and condolences are with the Royal Family, as we mourn the loss of our longest-serving British monarch. We are indebted to her dedicated service to this country. The Queen's state funeral will take place at Westminster Abbey at 11am on Monday 19th September. To support our clients, our phone lines will remain active, however, we...
With Christmas fast approaching, September is the ideal time to put your house on the market in time for a move before December 25th. Despite the rising cost of living uncertainty, the current housing market is very much a "seller's market". This basically means that with less choice available to prospective purchasers, there are decidedly fewer homes available than there are buyers looking to...
You’ve chosen an agent, (hopefully Lune Valley Estates?), they’ve generated LOADS of interest for your property, (definitely the case if you did choose Lune Valley Estates), and your first viewing is fast approaching. So, what do you need to do? It’s very likely that if you are using an agent, they will carry out your viewings for you, and you won’t need to even be in the house whilst...
Last week, Lune Valley Estates had our own feature in the Lancashire Post! Jack Marshall took the time to interview our Director, Rob, and has put together an article which we believe really captures the LVE brand and what we stand for! It is great to see that we are now attracting such attention due to our impressive efforts and achievements since launching in February. Behind The Scenes of...
Worldwide and Closer to Home The consistent increase in the number of AirBnBs in Britain comes with great joy to those looking for ‘staycations’ and cheaper alternatives for accommodation across the country. Home-sharing platforms are dominating the tourism market, with AirBnB leading the way. The rented accommodation giant has a network of upwards of 3 million properties across the globe, beating...
Selling Property Discreetly, without Hitting the Open Market. Off-market property sales are when a seller wishes to sell their home, but without making this public. This means their property’s address or name is not displayed on Rightmove, social media platforms, or other sales portals, and no ‘For Sale’ board is placed outside of their home. People may request an off-market sale for a number...
Help to Buy ISA vs. Lifetime ISA? Buying your first home is a huge step and is obviously a very expensive process. Plenty of people opened a Help to Buy ISA (HTB ISA) back in 2015, when the government first launched this incentive. However, many people who are currently looking to buy a home, missed out due to the scheme ending in 2019. If you did miss out, don’t worry! There is...
The Lune Valley is quickly becoming one of the most sought-after holiday locations. Both international tourists and British travellers looking for nearby ‘staycations’ are drawn to our stunning area, and we can see why! Investments into leisure developments are also on the rise due to this, and as this is something we offer help with to our clients, we thought it would be a fantastic opportunity...
