Warm weather means open windows, busier viewing schedules and gardens that need to look their best. None of this makes selling a house with pets in the UK impossible. It just means a bit more planning. Summer is traditionally one of the best times of year to sell in the UK. Buyers get longer daylight hours for viewings, gardens are in full bloom, and many families want to be settled before the new school year. This year's market has been a bit more mixed. Mortgage rates have started easing again, with the average two-year fixed deal dropping to just over 5% by June, but buyers now have more homes to choose from and are taking their time before committing. In a market like this, presentation counts for more than ever, and that includes how well you manage your pet's presence during viewings. We covered the wider seasonal picture in why summer is a good time to sell your home, and if you'd like to know what your home might be worth right now, our online valuation tool takes just a couple of minutes. Talk to your vet before viewings start Your pet’s comfort is an important part of preparing for a successful sale. Strangers coming through the house regularly, and eventually a move to a new environment, can be genuinely stressful for animals, particularly older pets or those who don't cope well with change. A quick chat with your vet about your plans can help you spot any issues early and put the right support in place.]]>https://www.crayandnorton.co.uk/news/a-pet-owners-guide-to-selling-your-home-this-summer/est-062700Thu, 30 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://www.crayandnorton.co.uk/news/ben-norton/est-061774Work Experience]]>https://www.crayandnorton.co.uk/news/ben-norton/est-061774Wed, 22 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://www.crayandnorton.co.uk/news/samuel-cray/est-061742Croydon Estate Agents Cray & Norton Strengthen Expertise as Samuel Cray Qualifies as a RICS Building Surveyor.]]>https://www.crayandnorton.co.uk/news/samuel-cray/est-061742Wed, 15 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://www.crayandnorton.co.uk/news/flat-out-affordable/est-061710Why Flats in Croydon Could Be the Smartest Buy in 2026…]]>https://www.crayandnorton.co.uk/news/flat-out-affordable/est-061710Sat, 11 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://www.crayandnorton.co.uk/news/empty-property/est-061558Empty Property]]>https://www.crayandnorton.co.uk/news/empty-property/est-061558Fri, 26 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://www.crayandnorton.co.uk/news/landlord-tips-2026/est-061336Maximise your rental income in Croydon with expert landlord tips from Cray & Norton Estate Agent.]]>https://www.crayandnorton.co.uk/news/landlord-tips-2026/est-061336Wed, 03 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://www.crayandnorton.co.uk/news/croydon-estate-agent-guide/est-061327Introduction: Why Mortgage Rates Matter in Croydon Right Now.
