Instant Valuation

It was interesting to read last week an opinion piece in The Guardian that Britain doesn't need more homes - it simply needs homeowners to share their existing space.

We are not seeing this in our pocket of north Norfolk at all but you still need to plan ahead to sell or let your home and here we share 10 quick property fixes:
