Southern Highlands Property Update 28 August

It’s a HUGE Property Update this week – there is so much happening. We cover the Government’s 5% deposit scheme for first home buyers, advice on how to get your rental bond back, we look at our little slice of England: Exeter, Belle Property has a distinctive Property Showcase in Mossy, are Hobby Farms still a thing? And much more.

 

Spring has arrived – and so too has property selling season. Head to The Fold Property Hub for our latest listings, open house details, agency and agent profiles!
