More choice for London buyers than we've seen since 2010, and tenant demand across the capital still climbing. Whichever side of the market you're on, there's good news here. Here's what's really happening in both markets right now.

It may feel far too early to think about Christmas, but moving home takes longer than many sellers expect. Starting in July can make the journey calmer and more controlled.

You only get one go at your first fortnight on the market. GLP Director Rob Hill on why the sellers who win in September are the ones who start planning now.

This year's brought seismic changes to the PRS. The Renters' Rights Act is reshaping how we operate. MTD is now live. New compliance frameworks are rolling out monthly. In times like these, landlords need solid expertise more than ever. Yet we still hear the same myths about lettings agents and honestly, they're costing landlords real money.
