Everyone wants to get more bang for their buck when it comes to buying a property and if you can get the same size for cheaper, then why wouldn't you? 

A new year often brings new changes and with that, the opportunity to look into moving house or purchasing your first property.

A recent study from Zoopla reveals where family homes have seen the biggest jump in value across Berkshire. 

Successive lockdowns, combined with an increase in people working from home, is driving people to look for homes with more space.

And demand for family houses with gardens, parking and extra space to work has intensified.
