👻 Would you buy a house if it came with a resident ghost?
This Halloween, we’re taking a little detour into Reading’s more mysterious property history…

Watlington House on Watlington Street dates back to 1688 and is one of Reading’s oldest surviving buildings.
But apparently, not everybody who has lived there has actually left. 👀

One of its best-known former residents was Captain Edward Purvis, who lived at Watlington House from 1794. He was said to enjoy sitting at the window in his red military uniform, smoking his pipe.

And according to local legend, his ghost has since been spotted doing exactly the same thing. 👻

There have also been tales over the years of unexplained footsteps and other strange goings-on inside the building.

So, an important question for Halloween…
🏠 Beautiful historic Reading property
📍 Bags of character
👻 One former occupant who may still be in residence

Would that be a deal-breaker… or would you consider the ghost part of the fixtures and fittings? 😂

Happy Halloween from WhiteKnights! 🎃👻

🏡 **Autumn Statement: good news for first-time buyers?**
With 98 measures announced in yesterday’s Autumn Statement, there was relatively little with a major direct impact on the housing market.

But one announcement certainly caught our attention.
A new scheme is set to allow eligible first-time buyers purchasing a **new-build home with a deposit of just 2.5%**.
To put that into perspective:

🏠 On a £300,000 property
🔹 5% deposit = £15,000
🔹 2.5% deposit = £7,500

That could make a significant difference to buyers struggling to save the larger deposit traditionally needed to get onto the property ladder.

Of course, a smaller deposit doesn’t necessarily mean lower monthly costs, and eligibility and the final details of the scheme will matter. But for some first-time buyers, it could bring that first home a little closer.

Thinking about buying your first home in Reading? Whether you’re considering a new build or an existing property, talk to WhiteKnights about what’s available and your next steps.

🏡 You only get one chance to launch your home!
When your property first goes onto the market, it's new, it's fresh and it's attracting attention from buyers who have been waiting for something just like it.

But that initial interest doesn't last forever.
Getting the launch right can make a real difference to how quickly your home sells and the price you ultimately achieve.

📸 Presentation matters. Professional photography and a well-prepared home help create the right first impression.

💷 Pricing matters. An unrealistic asking price can mean missing out on serious buyers during those crucial early weeks.

📣 Marketing matters. Your property needs to reach the right audience from day one, not just appear on the property portals.

And with buyers having plenty of choice in the current market, those first few weeks are particularly important.

Thinking of selling in Reading, Woodley or the surrounding areas? Let's make sure your home gets the launch it deserves.

🏡 A price reduction doesn't necessarily mean there was anything wrong with the property. Sometimes the problem started months earlier.

New Rightmove figures show more than 3,000 asking prices were reduced every day during September, with the average reduction almost 7%.
➡️ But one statistic really stands out.

Homes that needed a price reduction took an average of 119 days to find a buyer. Those that didn't took just 39 days.
That's a huge difference.

In a market where buyers have plenty of choice, those first few weeks matter. If a property launches above where buyers see value, it can miss that initial burst of interest. By the time the price changes, it's no longer the new property everyone has just been alerted to.

And if the wider market has moved in the meantime, reducing to yesterday's figure may still leave you chasing today's buyer.

That's why selling strategy isn't simply about choosing an asking price. It's about understanding the competition, buyer behaviour and what's happening locally — and responding while it still matters.

If you're thinking of selling in Reading, talk to WhiteKnights about your home and your plans before deciding how to take it to market.
