Wishing You a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Holden Estate Agents

Wishing You a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Holden Estate Agents

As Christmas approaches, we wanted to say thank you for choosing Holden Estate Agents this year. We’re really grateful for the trust you’ve placed in us and wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas.

Christmas in Maldon always feels a bit different.


The lights are up, Promenade Park looks great on a cold winter walk, and the High Street has that familiar Christmas buzz. It’s a good reminder of why we enjoy working here and being part of a town we know so well.

As the year comes to an end, we wanted to say thank you. Thank you for choosing Holden Estate Agents, for trusting us with your move, and for the many conversations we’ve had over the last twelve months — whether that’s selling, buying, or simply talking through options.

Looking back on the year.


2025 has been another busy one. We’ve helped people move on, move up, downsize, and relocate — often juggling chains, deadlines and the realities of modern moving. It’s never just about property for us; it’s about people, timing and getting things right.

Moving home is stressful enough without gimmicks or over-promising. That’s why we focus on straight answers, honest advice and being available when you need us. No scripts, no pressure — just proper estate agency, done locally.

What we’re proud of.


We’re especially grateful for the feedback we’ve received this year, which has once again led to national recognition for customer service. Awards are never the goal, but they do matter — because they come directly from the people we work for.

We deal with first-time buyers, growing families, sellers who’ve lived in their homes for decades, and everything in between. Whatever your situation, our approach stays the same: realistic pricing, clear communication and proactive chasing to keep things moving.

From all of us at Holden Estate Agents, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy New Year.

With ongoing reforms and rising compliance demands across the UK, managing a rental property alone is becoming increasingly complex. Here’s why professional management now matters more than ever.

Thinking of renting out your home? With major rental reforms arriving in 2026, the days of private, informal lettings are over. Here’s what every homeowner needs to know to stay compliant, protected and prepared.

When it comes to selling your home, numbers matter — but not the ones you might expect. Instruction levels can be misleading. What really counts is how many homes reach sale agreed, and how consistently an agent delivers results.

Every year we hear the same advice: “Launch on Boxing Day – that’s when everyone’s online.” While it sounds sensible, it rarely works in a seller’s favour. In reality, timing is just as important as price and presentation, and a Boxing Day launch often costs you momentum rather than creating it.
