Your guide to finding the Bristol home for you, with Zump

By Bristol24/7  Friday Mar 31, 2023

Navigating the property market has always been a challenge, but throw in the post-pandemic changes, a severe lack of properties for sale, and the cost-of-living crisis, and it means that it’s now harder than ever to find your next home.
Owners that can’t find their next home don’t put their own property on the market which is why many Bristolians are delaying their move. But this only continues reducing the supply creating a cycle of fewer and fewer options.
So, how do you find the right Bristol home for you, how do you break the cycle?

Step one: Expand your search

Let’s look at how most people search for a home. They check Rightmove: it’s a great way to see what’s out there but with less than 1% of properties listed for sale, options are slim.

Usually, once you’ve gone through the available homes, that’s it, you just have to sit and wait. But what if you could find homes not yet on the market? What if you could discover other people thinking about selling but haven’t listed their property?

On Zump, you can find every property already on-market for sale, every off-market property you see and pre-market homes shared by owners who are interested in selling, giving you access to thousands of new properties.

Step two: Take control of your preferences
