Queueing for the Sales?
Tuesday, September 22, 2015
The queue on Saturday had everyone guessing – are they selling cakes? Certainly not something you see every day but our Beaconsfield branch had queues of patient would-be buyers along Burkes Parade for the sales launch of Park House, Loudwater, a new development from Inland Homes. The pre-launch marketing had clearly done its job, attracting massive attention from prospective purchasers all hoping to secure their new dream home. So no we weren’t selling cakes, just doing what we do best; selling property!

In recent years there have been many changes to legislation and best practice within the lettings sector affecting both lettings agents and landlords. It is now mandatory, for example, for all letting agents to disclose their full fee tariff, details of which redress scheme they belong to and what they offer by way of client money protection.

Are alarm bells ringing?
Monday, September 14, 2015
They should be! New legislation means that residential landlords in England have until October 2015 to install working smoke and CO alarms in all of their rental properties. Whilst many landlords already comply with this requirement, it adds to an already complex list of items that landlords must comply with, although it will be the tenant’s responsibility to test the alarm regularly.
Rugby Fever!
Wednesday, September 2, 2015
Phoenix U8s (in red) and Slough RFC U8s (in green) - both sponsored by Frosts - were rewarded for their hard work and success last season with a special day at Stoke Mandeville Athletics ground to welcome the Rugby World cup into the region.
Moving on?
Thursday, August 27, 2015
September has always been a time for the property market to step up a gear after a long lazy summer where thoughts are on holidays and relaxing with family and friends. Somehow the new school year acts as a signal to get moving again – in every sense of the word.
