Selling in winter also means that you can showcase your home’s family-friendly atmosphere and cosy charm a lot better. Below are some tips on how you can achieve this.

Who wouldn’t want to live next door to the Queen of the United Kingdom? A very well-to-do buyer snaps a luxury apartment at Palace Street for a whopping £20M!
