Left It Late? Check Out These Ideas for Christmas Gifts

This two-minute read might just be your get-out-of-jail-free card if you’ve left it late to buy Christmas gifts.

A conversation among our team recently made us realise that with just over a week to go before Christmas Day, most of us still had people to buy gifts for.
So, if you’re in the same situation and need some late/last-minute present inspiration, check out these 15 ideas. 
For Her
To pamper – a spa day at a local beauty salon.
To relax – a luxuriously scented candle (look at Jo Malone if you want to push the boat out).
To savour – a chocolate box subscription (Hotel Chocolat is worth a look for the chocolate connoisseur).
To de-stress – a shiatsu neck and shoulder massaging machine.
To experiment – The Great British Bake Off latest recipe book or maybe Jamie Oliver’s Christmas Cookbook.
For Him
The tech lover – a 3-in-1 Apple device charging station.
The early riser – a sunrise wake-up light alarm clock.
The fitness fan – an electric mini-massage tool.
The thrill-seeker – an experience day – hundreds of options out there, including driving around a racetrack, sailing, or parachuting. 
The fan – a personalised video message from a sportsperson or celebrity. 
For the Home 
As estate agents, no last-minute list from us would be complete without five gifts you can buy for people to use in their homes.
A marble desk organiser.
A customised house portrait.
Personalised coasters.
Frame a favourite photo.
 
Hardback coffee table books – National Geographic’s Destinations of a Lifetime or perhaps one featuring Warrington.
And remember, when we shop locally in Warrington, we make a big difference to our community. 
Where will you be doing your last-minute gift buying?

A client asked us recently what impact the escalating situation involving Iran might have on the UK property market. It is a good question, and the honest answer is that the main area to watch is interest rates.

Over the last few weeks, there has been a growing narrative in the national press suggesting that the housing ladder is becoming increasingly difficult to climb. Much of this centres around the widening gap between smaller and larger homes, with many commentators suggesting that homeowners are becoming “stuck” and unable to move up.

When you have had your property on the market for a while, many sellers eventually face the same difficult decision: whether their asking price needs adjusting to reignite buyer interest.

Being a landlord in the UK has become harder in recent years. Rising mortgage costs, more regulation and higher expectations from tenants have added pressure.
