A Christmas Message from JAGS Property Group
š A Big Gravesend THANK YOU From JAGS ā Our Biggest Year Yet
Hi,
Before everyone disappears into mince pies, festive chaos, kids tearing open wrapping paper and the annual hunt for the TV remoteā¦ we wanted to pause and say something simple:
THANK YOU.
Whether you bought, sold, viewed, offered, enquired, asked advice, watched a video, shared a post, popped into the office, or just cheered us on from the sidelines, youāve been a huge part of another brilliant year for JAGS and the Gravesend property community.
š” 2025: JAGSā Biggest Year So Far
Letās be straight:
This has been JAGSā best year yet.
ā¢ Weāve handled around twice as many properties as last year
ā¢ Weāve sold around 85% of the homes weāve listed
ā¢ Weāve achieved around 101.93% of asking price on average
ā¢ On many streets, weāve set record prices
When we put a board up, the aim isnāt āletās see what happens.ā
Itās simple: get the move done and get the result right.
Not just āFor Saleā.
SOLD and moved.
š² Millions of Eyes, Dozens of Homes Sold Off Social
Behind the scenes, our marketing has gone up another level:
- Millions of views every month across our social media
- High-energy video tours, Reels and TikToks reaching buyers who never wouldāve seen your home on portals alone
- A growing number of homes sold purely through social media and our Heads Up alerts ā buyers matched and deals done before the general market catches up
If youāve ever wondered whether āall that social stuffā actually worksā¦
Short answer: yes, it really does.
š A Standout Success Story
š” Riverview Park rescue:
A chalet bungalow sat on the market with another agent for 5 months.
Three viewings. Zero momentum. No offers.
We relaunched it with new staging, new photography, video and a proper campaign.
Result?
10 viewings in the first weekend, 4 offers, and a final sale agreed Ā£35,000 over the price the previous agent had it on for ā and still couldnāt get offers at.
Same property.
Different plan.
Very different outcome.
And thatās just one example. Weāve had multiple āsecond agentā instructions this year where a fresh JAGS approach turned āstuckā into āsoldā.
š More Than Just an Estate Agent Board
This year, weāve tried to give back as much as we can to the area thatās built this business:
- Huge Halloween sweet giveaways for local families
- Easter egg drops across the community
- Sponsorships for local schools and events
- A charity golf day raising thousands of pounds for Kent Cancer Trust
We donāt just work here, we live here, grew up here, and our kids are growing up here, too. Being part of the community matters just as much as the sales figures.
š· Rates, Mortgages & Money in Peopleās Pockets
The big late-year story has been interest rates and mortgage rates finally heading the right way.
With the Base Rate dipping back below 4% and fixed deals steadily falling, weāre seeing:
- Lower monthly payments for a lot of people
- More borrowing power for buyers
- Less financial pressure on households
- And most importantly, better sentiment
You can feel it already:
More enquiries, more viewings and more serious conversations about moving in 2026.
š Looking Ahead to 2026
Weāre going into the new year with:
- Fresh stock ready to launch across Gravesend, Riverview Park, Istead Rise, Meopham, Northfleet and the surrounding villages
- A database full of motivated buyers (many with mortgages agreed)
- Interest and mortgage rates easing, and confidence returning
- A team thatās sharper, more experienced and more hungry than ever
Whether youāre thinking about:
- Upsizing
- Downsizing
- Moving schools
- Releasing equity
- Swapping city life for Gravesend, or Gravesend for a new chapter
ā¦now is a really good time to start the conversation.
ā¤ļø From All of Us at JAGS
Thank you for trusting us with your homes, your moves and your stories this year.

With love and huge appreciation,
