Many people will be doing their Christmas shopping over the next fortnight, and this includes for properties. Those buyers wanting to be in their new home for Christmas will have to sign a contract in the next couple of weeks. Remember that banks, solicitors, building and pest inspectors, accountants and even real estate agents begin to go on holidays extending the lengths of contracts.

So, the Christmas Rush is upon us so talk to your Gardian agent today about getting your Christmas property present early.
