CORONA VIRUS - Statement & Policy

We have been monitoring the developments surrounding the spread of the Covid-19 virus. To protect our clients, customers, contractors and team members it is important that we have in place a policy as to how we mitigate the risks surrounding the impact of the virus. Boris Johnson’s message this evening has generated an update.
The following will be reviewed in line with government recommendations as announced.
  1. Rental property visits and sales valuations will be postponed from 24th March 2020.
  2. Sales & Rental Viewings will be postponed from 24th March 2020
  3. Maintenance requests will continue to be dealt with as outlined in the Tenant Information Pack, unless tenant(s) or occupiers advise of health conditions.
  4. Where staff are required to self-isolate they will be given the tools to work from home, allowing us to be able to continue their pay.
  5. In the current circumstances where we have chosen to close the office, we will still be able to operate the business from home-based locations. Access to keys will be restricted due to location, tenants will need to be available for maintenance appointments (where they have no symptoms). Should this be necessary we will send out an update.
The safety and health of our employees and those whom we come into contact with is very important. We will do all that we can to minimise the impact of Covid-19.
Symptoms of Covid-19
  • Dry cough
  • High temperature/fever
  • Shortness of breath

House builders discuss 95% mortgages with lenders

So the house builders and the lenders have had a meeting to discuss how they can create 95% mortgages. Basically a good thing, as you would imagine most estate agents would say. But what proportion of the housing Market is represented by new homes sales to first time buyers? Also any first time buyer who purchases a new home is then a cost to the second hand Market of who knows how many sales! If I think back 30 years my wife and I as first time buyers were providing a deposit of 10%. To do this we sold her car, saved up by not going out as much and generally committed ourselves to the task of buying our first home together. Ah, you might say, but house prices were so much cheaper then. True but my salary was just under £2,000 per annum with the prospect of perhaps another £1,000 in commission from selling at lease 6 houses per month personally. The first 4 didn't count towards commission but were to cover my costs to my employer! I personally don't think 95% mortgages are ...

2012: What lays ahead for homes and property?

I’m writing this on 26th December which some might say is a bad time for predictions as the stomach is still churning and digesting yesterday’s Turkey dinner and copious mounts of alcoholic beverages. On the other hand it may focus my mind on whether the next 12 months are going to give any of us that ‘full’ feeling. The danger with property market predictions is that they are generalisations.  When the Halifax or Nationwide make their comments they are talking about the UK as a whole. When I make a prediction I’m talking about our particular little area of the country - incidentally East Cambridgeshire made it to No.4 in the ten best places to live in the UK http://bit.ly/vf0C4v (according to Simon Ward of www.lovemoney.com   using Halifax Quality of Life survey data, and who am I to doubt him!) The London market is buoyant with foreign investors buying and some reports will say that prices moved up even in the closing months of 2011.  The north of the country has over...
