New Year, New Hope …….. New Home?

New Year, New Hope …….. New Home?

A 90-second speed read to share some resolution ideas to bring some hope in 2021.

New Year, New Hope …….. New Home?


99.9 per cent of us cannot wait to see the back of 2020.

And what better time to draw a line under this ‘unprecedented’ year than the opportunity to welcome in a new year. And one which brings new hope.

Below are 10 of the most common resolutions people have made over the past five years, according to polling website You.Gov.

1)    Exercise more.
2)    Eat more healthily.
3)    Lose weight.
4)    Budget finances better.
5)    Learn something new.
6)    Spend more time with friends and family. (Fingers crossed).
7)    Get more sleep.
8)    Reduce stress.
9)    Travel more (here’s hoping).
10) Focus on spiritual growth.

And here are five of the most common resolutions we hear home seekers in East Kent make.

1)    A home with more room.
2)    A home nearer loved ones and/or good schools.
3)    A home with a room or space enabling working from home. (A new one for 2021).
4)    A home with a bigger garden or easy access to open space.
5)    A home with friendly neighbours.

At the heart of people’s resolutions is always a sense of hope.

And hope is something we will all be holding onto as we enter 2021.

And at Regal Estates we are hopeful the next 12 months will be much better than what we have endured in 2020.

Finally, we’d like to thank all our clients, colleagues, and our community for your support this year.

Here’s to hope, happiness and to happier times ahead!

The current property landscape in Canterbury presents a striking contrast to the story back in March 2008. Back in the Spring of 2008, the Canterbury property market was flooded with homes for sale, causing houses prices to drop throughout 2008.

Welcome back to the pulse of Canterbury's property market, where each week we bring you different local property market trends. This week we are back again with the monthly £/sq.ft statistics.

For many people, their property is their biggest asset. Unlocking this value via equity release is an option being considered by an increasing number of over 55’s to help financially plan for retirement.

The 2024 UK property market has demonstrated remarkable resilience and growth, outpacing the sales figures achieved in the first two months of 2023, compared to the same two months in 2024. It's an interesting time for British homeowners and prospective sellers as we observe an upward trajectory across the board.
