A Marathon Weekend for Harrisons

A Marathon Weekend for Harrisons

Fundraising is part of our culture here at Harrisons.

We’re incredibly lucky to help so many people buy and sell their homes—and we truly love what we do. But for us, the privilege of supporting people as they move into the next chapter of their lives is just one part of our role.

A big part of our culture here at Harrisons is giving back. Whether it’s volunteering in our local community, supporting and promoting local businesses, or raising money for important causes, we believe in making a difference beyond property.

This weekend, we’re proud to be fundraising for two incredible charities. Harrisons’ owner Chris is taking part in the Brighton Marathon on Sunday to raise funds for Dementia UK, in memory of his grandparents—Shirley, Wendy, and Ted—who were all sadly affected by this cruel disease.

At the same time, Lauren’s partner Luke will be running the London Landmarks Half Marathon in support of My Shining Star, a charity that helps families affected by childhood cancer.

Please join us in wishing Chris and Luke the very best of luck—and if you’re able to, we’d be so grateful if you could support them by donating via their JustGiving pages below:

One of the most frustrating parts of selling your home is when it doesn’t seem to be getting the viewings you were hoping for. You’ve listed your property, put in effort to prepare it, and maybe even staged it beautifully, but the phone isn’t ringing, and the viewings just aren’t coming through. So, what’s going wrong, and what can you do about it?

Selling your home is more than just a transaction—it's a significant life milestone. At Harrison's Homes, we understand that every move is unique, whether you're downsizing, relocating, or embarking on a fresh start. Since the 1980s, we've helped thousands of clients achieve their property goals, and we're here to guide you every step of the way.

If you're selling your home, one important step you’ll encounter is the home survey — often referred to as a property survey or valuation survey. While it’s typically arranged by the buyer, it can feel a little daunting for sellers who aren’t sure what to expect.

Should you haggle with the agent over their fees? Is it true that if they can't negotiate well with you, they won't be any good when you get an offer? Or does it start the relationship off on the back foot?
