May brings two bank holidays and a half-term break, offering fantastic opportunities to explore Plymouth and the wider Devon area. As your local estate agents, we've put together some ideas to help you make the most of this vibrant time.

Every seller expects interest when they go on the market. It is natural. You have a home you care about, you have priced it based on advice, and you are waiting for the phone to ring.

So you've decided you want to buy your first home. Brilliant. That feeling of having your own place, your own front door, your own space — there's nothing quite like it. But before you start falling in love with listings on Rightmove, there's one conversation that needs to happen first: money.

Choosing an estate agent is one of those decisions that is easy to make quickly and harder to undo if it goes wrong. Most people spend more time researching a new appliance than they do the agent who will be responsible for selling their most valuable asset.
