It’s a New Year and time for a new start.
January is a fantastic time of year to put your property on the market as many people set their minds on planning for the year ahead. Heavily undervalued, launching your property in January also means you miss out on the ‘Spring Rush’ where the market can become heavily over saturated. It is also at the forefront for families who need to be organised and settled in their new homes in time for the new school year applications. Research shows that properties located near well regarded schools achieve higher prices and quicker sale times than those not. So, to help the families out there, we have put together a list of the top schools across The Lake District & North Lancashire and properties for sale close by.
