If your son or daughter is heading to university this year, you're probably already thinking about where they're going to live. Halls of residence are usually the first port of call, and for good reason. They're close to campus, offer built-in social opportunities, and give first-year students a low-risk way to find their feet. But not every student gets to visit a property before making a decision. Distance, work commitments, placement years, and clearing applications - there are plenty of reasons a viewing might not be possible. 👋 That's where Viewber comes in. We can arrange for a trusted local Viewber to visit the property, take photos, write a detailed report, and hold a live video call so you can see it for yourself, anywhere in the UK, with no contract or minimum order. It's a simple way to make sure your loved one feels confident before anything is signed.

💡 Today's top tip: Get your property ready for its close-up! Preparing your home for professional photos can make a huge difference in attracting potential buyers. A little effort goes a long way in making your listing shine online. To help your property look its absolute best, focus on these key steps: 1️⃣ Boost kerb appeal: Tidy the garden, clear the driveway, and move any bins or cars out of sight. First impressions count! 2️⃣ Declutter and depersonalise: Clear surfaces in kitchens and bathrooms, and hide personal photos and pet accessories. This helps buyers imagine themselves living in the space. 3️⃣ Let there be light: Open all curtains and blinds to let in natural light. Double-check that all lightbulbs are working to keep every room bright and inviting. 4️⃣ Clean and polish: A deep clean makes everything look fresh. Vacuum floors, polish surfaces, and make sure every room is sparkling. 5️⃣ Final touches: Make the beds, close all cupboard doors, and switch off any screens. A few neutral props like fresh flowers or a fruit bowl can add a welcoming touch. Taking these steps before the photographer arrives will help create stunning images that capture your property's full potential. #PropertyPhotography #PropertyTips #HomeImprovement

Since 2006, the UK has had 15 Housing Secretaries and 20 housing ministers. That's a lot of change at the top. And it raises a fair question: does it actually matter who's in charge? The short answer is that it depends on who you are. Whether you're a landlord who lived through the mortgage interest tax relief changes, a buyer who felt the Truss mini-budget land in your mortgage rate, or a renter waiting seven years for Section 21 reform to take effect, politics has a habit of reshaping the property market, sometimes slowly, sometimes overnight. Our blog looks at how political instability - from sweeping legislative changes to budget shocks - has shaped the UK property market, and what it means for buyers, sellers, landlords, and renters right now. The good news is that despite the turbulence, property remains resilient. And there's always a way to navigate the market, whatever the political weather.

Has your house gone up or down in value? 🏠 UK house price headlines tell one story, but the reality on your street can be very different.  Asking prices on Rightmove and Zoopla’s house price index give a sense of market trends, while PrimeLocation and NetHousePrices let you see what properties have sold for on your road. In our latest blog, we look beyond averages to reveal how asking prices and sold values can vary by region, city, and even borough.  We explain why national figures can mask local differences, how the Land Registry and postcode searches help uncover hyper-local insights, and why local estate agents, with their real-time data and area expertise, are still the most accurate source for knowing what your home is really worth. 👉 Read the full article and see what the numbers might reveal about your street: viewber.co.uk/has-my-house-p… #Housing #PropertyMarket #UKProperty

Are you heading to university this autumn? Finding somewhere to live is one of the biggest decisions you'll make before you even get there. Most universities guarantee halls of residence for first-year students, usually close to campus, with private bedrooms, shared kitchens, and communal spaces.  They're a great way to settle in and meet people! But if you're thinking about private accommodation, or want to compare your options before committing, the time to start is now. In many university towns, the best student houses get taken months in advance. Before you sign anything: ✅ Make sure you understand what you're agreeing to.  ✅ Check the tenancy length. ✅ Check deposit requirements. ✅ Check what bills are included, and whether there's a break clause. And if you can't get to a viewing in person (whether you're overseas, in clearing, or just far away), that's not a reason to rush into a decision! Viewber can visit any property in the UK on your behalf and give you photos, feedback, and a full report before you commit. We've pulled everything together in one guide if you want to learn more 👉 viewber.co.uk/student-accomm… #StudentAccommodation #StudentHousing #University

A property viewing can feel exciting. But excitement can make you miss the details that matter! Whether you’re buying, renting, or investing, it’s easy to get distracted by a great layout or a fresh interior. But cracks, damp, mould, missing roof tiles, wiring issues, noise, unusual smells, draughts, cold walls, and low water pressure can all tell a bigger story. That’s why our latest blog breaks the viewing process down by: 👀 Sight 👂 Sound 👃 Smell ✋ Touch It’s a practical way to stay focused and spot issues that may need follow-up with the agent, landlord, seller, or a specialist. At Viewber, we’ve provided accompanied viewings since 2016 and have now completed 1 million property appointments, so we know how important a clear, objective checklist can be.
