Welcome to this week's edition of The Thistleblower.
The final Thistleblower of the year, and what a year... from lockdowns to stamp duty holiday, it's certainly been an interesting one in the housing market.
It's been the busiest year for property transactions since 2006, and we've loved helping so many of you to achieve your moving goals. If you've been holding off from making that move, be sure to have a read of our Rightmove blog below for some interesting stats that may help you to make a decision.
December is a month of giving, so this year we're pleased to be running not one, but two competitions. Head over to our Instagram pages for our advent calendar competition, or for the children, pop into one of our branches to collect a colouring competition entry.
