Supporting First Days Children’s Charity With There Move

At Avocado Property, we take pride in supporting our local community, and recently, we had the privilege of assisting First Days Children's Charity with their move to a new location.

At Avocado Property, we love helping our local community whenever we can. Recently, we had the privilege of assisting a wonderful local charity, First Days Children's Charity, with their move to a new location.

First Days Children's Charity was started in 2013 in response to needs in the local community in Berkshire. Quite simply, there were people with stuff they didn't need and people who desperately needed it.

The charity grew very quickly and now, nearly eight years later, it has a dedicated team of staff and volunteers who have helped over 10,000 children and distributed over 250 tonnes of donated goods.

When First Days needed help with their move, we were eager to lend a hand. Ian Macbeth, Mike Robson, Andrew Brown, our marketing team, and Luke Masters from Survey Network joined forces to support this incredible charity. It also gave us an excuse to have a team lunch!

It's inspiring to see the impact First Days has had on so many lives, and we are honoured to have been able to help in every way we can. Supporting our community is at the heart of what we do at Avocado Property, and we look forward to many more opportunities to give back.

Burghfield Common's private rental market has changed considerably over the last five years. In 2021, the average monthly rent in Burghfield Common was £1,189. So far in 2026, that figure stands at £1,503. That is a rise of 26.4%. To put that into context, the average UK rent increased from £1,390 in 2021 to £1,744 in 2026, a rise of 25.5%.

For much of the last two decades, bungalows have quietly slipped out of fashion. Overshadowed by those glossy new build developments, three storey townhouses and open plan ‘modern living’, they became seen by many as somewhere only your granny lives rather than an aspirational home move.

For some homebuyers, the kitchen is the deal maker. For others, it is the number of bedrooms, the school catchment or the distance to the railway station. Yet for a sizeable group of buyers, the garden matters just as much as the house itself. Across Ruislip and its surrounding villages, there are 112 homes with large gardens.

When Britain voted to leave the European Union in June 2016, many experts predicted serious problems for the UK housing market. Forecasts warned of falling house prices, reduced buyer confidence and a prolonged slowdown in property transactions. Yet a decade later, the story has been very different.
