"The summer sun is fading as the year grows old,
And darker days are drawing near,
The winter winds will be much colder,
Now you're not here."
We know with temperatures still in the high teens, that winter is hardly close but there is a sense of summer ending and the cooler nights of autumn drawing in.
The team at Pure North Norfolk love this time of year as the golden russet leaves fall from deciduous trees and your garden goes into a sort of slumber.
This may not come as a surprise to you at all, as it's something that has been developing for years - tenants now outnumber home owners across the UK.
At Pure North Norfolk, Fakenham, we've seen this trend emerge over the past decade and we are certain that the fairly even split will, in the future, weigh even more to the side of tenants.

You can often secure good discounts from buying off-plan.”
What are the disadvantages, we asked Julia earlier today.

Here, in north Norfolk, however, we don't have such an expanse but we do have 45 miles.
45 miles of some of the best beaches in England, if not globally.
Come now for a metaphorical walk with the Pure North Norfolk along our lustrous coastline.

Well, summer is done; we're now officially in early Autumn and in 12 weeks, unbelievable we know, we'll be wrapping and unwrapping Christmas presents.
Traditionally too, September has always been a good time to sell, as well as pondering on Hallowe'en, shorter days and Yuletide rituals.
Property owners are often keen to move, to upsize, downsize, relocate, so they can be in their new home pulling crackers and reading jokes to walls that haven't heard them before.
Makes perfect sense, don't you think?
So what can you do if you want to move before Christmas?
