With the new season springing forward, along with longer days and warmer weather, we're also seeing more For Sale boards pop up on our local streets.

Spring is always a popular time for buying and selling, and this year is no exception. In this week's Thistleblower you'll find a range of articles designed to help maximise your sale potential this peak season. We've also highlighted the importance of getting your property noticed, which in a busy market is more important than ever.

Continuing our Land theme from the previous edition, we're also shining the spotlight on our Land Manager, Katherine Gray, who this week successfully completed our sponsored event, the Fleet Half Marathon.

Whether you're interested in land, lettings or are looking to buy or sell, this week's selection of articles should prove useful.

There are lots of reasons. By googling "the best time to sell  your home" the responses from a variety of sources are overwhelmingly in favour of the spring time, with a range of explanations.
