Lawns have been mowed, the evenings are lighter, and spring bulbs are in full bloom. It’s no wonder that this time of year tends to be one of our busiest.

Sellers in Cranleigh and the surrounding villages are keen to showcase their homes when their gardens are looking fresh and green. And they won’t be disappointed, because we have no shortage of house-hunters on our books, with first-time buyers, families and down-sizers all hoping to find the perfect home in 2018.

Now that the clocks have gone forward, early evening viewings are a far more enticing prospect. Curtains are wide open and it’s possible to get a proper feel for the light and space within a home. Viewing after work is also helpful in terms of getting a sense of the area: if you’re worried about possible road noise, between 5pm and 6pm is when traffic tends to be at its peak.

Here at Roger Coupe, our office has been very busy with enquiries from potential vendors and buyers, and we’ve been out and about valuing a huge variety of properties in the Cranleigh area. Some of our latest to go on the market include a superb four-bedroom detached home with potential to extend on Bloxham Road, Cranleigh, and a spacious family house on Woodlands Close on the eastern edge of the village.
