Watch 'The Grinch's first day at the office' - The 2025 Christmas advert

Plus, enjoy our favourite outtakes from the shoot and see our festive opening hours.


The Grinch’s first day at the office… and let’s just say his heart wasn’t the only thing two sizes too small, so was his patience.

It’s been another busy year at Sandersons so we decided to add to our team. He was very keen on the interview but perhaps we should’ve know he was prone to an occasional meltdown.

One thing The Grinch is right about is launching your property on Boxing Day. For decades, we’ve seen a consistent pattern. The strongest launch moment is the second Sunday of January and here’s why:
• Christmas clutter is gone, even the Grinch couldn’t complain
• Routines return, so decision-making stops feeling like a Whoville circus
• Any relationship or lifestyle reassessments have already happened
• Proceedable buyers are actively booking viewings again
• A fresh 2026 launch date looks far more appealing than a late-2025 listing


Well done to our team in Canterbury for such a wonderful effort on this video. There’s plenty of outtakes that didn't make the final cut...

As we move into 2026, it's time to reflect on our most popular homes marketed in the past year. We've tallied up all the likes, shares and comments from our social channels to produce our top 10. From 14th century farmhouses to contemporary city centre apartments, the properties are varied but all exceptional in their on way.

If you’ve spoken to a few corporate estate agents recently, you’ve almost definitely heard this line: “Boxing Day is the biggest day of the year for property searches, you must launch then.” Let's take a look in more detail about this as a marketing strategy for your home....

Every homeowner wants confidence that an accepted offer reflects the highest achievable price, with a proceedable and motivated buyer. Most agents can sell a property, the real difference is how they do it. Here are 10 key factors that make the biggest impact on price, speed and certainty.

Almost seven months on the market, with two estate agents, but no buyer found. The house was beautiful, what did the previous agents do wrong to stop potential buyers from seeing this?
