Every so often, I step into a property that feels more like a story than a house and La Chapelle is exactly that. Once a place of quiet reflection, it now breathes with a rare beauty, where 19th-century soul meets modern-day comfort.   From the moment you arrive, there’s a sense of retreat. Tucked neatly between Trinity and St Saviour, La Chapelle feels hidden away, yet it remains...

Does Agent Experience Equal Excellence in Today’s Property Market? When choosing an estate agent, many sellers hear the same pitch again and again: “I’ve been in the business for 20 years” or “We have decades of combined experience.” Experience can absolutely be valuable.

Selling in a quiet market can feel uncertain, while staying put without changes might mean living in a home that no longer fits your...

Welcome to my weekly update. We left Kos after what was honestly one of the best holidays I’ve had in a long time. Just a beautiful few days with my family — great food, perfect weather, and time to properly switch off. Straight off the plane and into the Cazenove Capital Summer Party at St Ouen’s Manor where the thoughtfulness in planning for the event was standout — such a stunning location....

What Buyers Should Consider When it comes to buying a property in Jersey, one of the biggest decisions, after choosing the right home, is deciding how to structure your mortgage. And lately, one question keeps cropping up: “Should I fix my rate or go with a tracker?” We’re not mortgage brokers, and we’re not here to tell you what’s right for you. But we do speak to...

Welcome to my weekly update. After a bit of time away, I’m back in Jersey and it’s been another productive, fast-paced week on all fronts. Straight Off the Plane and Into the ActionI barely had time to unpack before heading straight to the PCD Group International Real Estate event at The Club. It was a fantastic event, well-organised, great energy in the room, and most importantly, a brilliant crowd....

Weekly Update with Danny 20th April: Property Deals, New Connections, and Global Hustle This week? Absolute madness. I kicked things off with an early flight out of Jersey to London, where I had a 4-hour layover before my next connection—but no time wasted. I squeezed in a luxury property viewing that took three trains and a bus to get to (yes, that was the fastest way). The home? A newly built...
