It's a good weekend when the messages come in like this. 🏡

I genuinely love what I do, but moments like these remind me why. Every search is different, but the feeling when someone lands in the right place? That never gets old.

If you're still searching, DM me MOVE and let's talk about what finding it could look like for you.

This is for you if…

You've been doom-scrolling Rightmove for too long
You've been debating if now is 'the right time' for too long
You've been avoiding having the 'big clearout' for too long
You've been trying to write 'The Wishlist' for too long

We want to say….

You don't need to have it all figured out yet.
The first step is to speak with us for some constructive analysis on how to break the deadlock.

It all seems less of a problem once you are *doing* something, we promise.

The Sunday Times just named Milton Keynes one of the best places to live in the UK. 🗞️

And honestly? They're not wrong.

MK gets written off a lot. The roundabouts. The concrete cows. The "it's not really a proper place" chat. But spend some time there and you start to notice something … it functions. Really well.

6,000 acres of parks. Lakes and canals. Indoor skiing. A music scene that runs from acoustic folk to death metal. More public art than most cities twice its size. And train times into London that make a lot of people in the commuter belt look sideways at their mortgage statements.

The Sunday Times called it "a can-do place." I'd add: a quietly underrated one.

If you're still thinking of Milton Keynes as a stopgap or a compromise, it might be worth a second look. The people who moved there five years ago tend not to be the ones who regret it.

I cover Buckinghamshire as part of my patch, so if MK is somewhere you're thinking about, or somewhere you've been dismissing, I'm happy to give you an honest steer.

Let me know below what questions you have, and we can start there.

Rightmove gives you Yes and No.

Your search needs everything in between.

The filters haven't caught up with the way the market is actually moving right now. You can't tick a box for "has a proper workspace, not just a bedroom corner." You can't filter for EPC B+ without losing half the character properties. You can't search for "low maintenance but doesn't feel like a compromise."

And yet those are exactly the things that will decide whether a property works for you in 2026, not just today, but in five years when the running costs and the legislation start to bite.

That's the gap between the portal and a buyer who's been watching this patch for years. Not just what's listed. What's worth viewing. What's moving. What's been overlooked because the description doesn't do it justice.

What's the harm in asking?

There's a type of person who's been quietly watching an area for a while. Reading about it. Saving the occasional Rightmove listing. Not quite ready to call it a plan.

If that's you, this is for you.

You don't need to have made up your mind. You don't even need a brief. You just need to be a little bit curious, and if you're reading this, you already are.

No pitch, no pressure. Just a conversation. 🏡

Everyone puts outdoor space on their wishlist. Most people think it's the part that takes care of itself.

You can see a garden. You can see land. How hard can it be?

Harder than you'd think, as it turns out.

Because what the listing shows you and what you're actually getting are two different things. The size relative to the house. The aspect, depending on the plot type. Some of it may be mentioned on Rightmove. Not all of it is visible, even at the viewing.

Filters miss things in both directions. They won't find you a walled garden, a plot that wraps on three sides, or independent access to the rear. They also won't warn you about a significant gradient, a garden that's overlooked on multiple sides, or a boundary that isn't where you think it is.

And some of what matters most doesn't appear anywhere in the listing at all. Restrictions on equestrian use. Agricultural ties. Garden-only designations. Historic covenants. A public footpath crossing what you thought was your private land.

All of it is knowable. None of it is complicated, if you know to look.

When you're my client, we've worked through all of this before you fall in love with a property, not after.

This is Episode 1 of "That's the easy bit."
A series on the parts of your wishlist that sound simple, and what finding them actually involves.

Buying with the future in mind.

Some people move because they have to. Others move because they can see what's coming.

The OxCambs Arc isn't a secret. But the people who act on it early, before the infrastructure lands, before the connectivity upgrades, before everyone else catches up, those are the ones who look back and think: good call.

This week I've been talking about what that corridor actually means on the ground: the towns and villages sitting in its path, the quality of life that's already there, and the buyers quietly getting ahead of the noise.

If you're someone who thinks like this ~ planning ahead, buying with one eye on the future ~ I'd love to talk. You don't need to be ready to move tomorrow. You just need to be curious about whether the timing might be right.

A year ago I wrote a page on my website about the Oxford–Cambridge Growth Corridor. Not because it was in the news particularly. Because I could see what was coming to my patch.

This last month it's been talked about a lot, with a promise of serious government funding and a stated ambition to make this the Silicon Valley of Europe. So let me tell you the bit the headlines skip.

The corridor running through East Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire and beyond isn't just a transport story. It's a life sciences, AI, quantum and advanced manufacturing story. It's a "where do the people doing those jobs actually want to live?" story.

Timelines on these things move. The direction of travel doesn't.

East West Rail is being built in stages.
See the slides for where it stands and what it means on the ground.

And it's not just about rail. East–west road connectivity is being prioritised too.

This is where these industries are going to grow, and if you see yourself working in any of these spheres, this corridor gives you the best base to keep all your options open.

One thing I'll always say: if open views and unchanged countryside are non-negotiable, have that conversation before you search here. Some parts of this corridor will look different in fifteen years. That's not a reason not to buy here, it's a reason to buy in the right part of it.

Swipe through for the full picture, including where the infrastructure actually stands right now and what I'd look for as a buyer.

Most people arrive with a list.

Five bedrooms. West-facing garden. Village location with a 'good' community. Within 15 minutes of a station.

And there's nothing wrong with that list.

But in years of doing this, the list is rarely the whole story.

The west-facing garden is usually about something else. The idea of long summer evenings, a table outside, people coming over.

The village location is about community, or quiet, or finally feeling like you've landed somewhere that's actually yours.

When you know what you're really looking for, the search changes. The criteria get sharper. The viewings stop feeling like a lucky dip.

That's usually where we start. Not with the list, but with the life behind it.

Most couples I speak to think they're stuck because they can't agree on a house.

They're not stuck on the house. They're stuck on everything the house represents — and nobody's helped them separate those
things out yet.

That's usually where I come in.

If you've had this argument, I'd love to talk.

DM 'SEARCH' and let's untangle it. 📩
