Help us tell politicians what business really wants

Dear Mr Clark

Are you excited about the Election? I thought not...

It's difficult to feel really passionate or inspired about any of the main parties as they continue to politic. So it's even more important to make your choice on the basis of cold, hard logic and vote for the one with the best policies.

That's great in theory. But do you really know what each of the main parties is promising for business? Are you 100% sure which party offers the best policies for your business and the UK economy?

The Telegraph Business Club is supporting a partnership project run by Telegraph Media Group and eBay called 'Election 2010: the Battle for Business'. One of the tactics is to ask business leaders like you to 'blind taste' the policies of the three main parties to establish:

a) which party has the policies that are most popular with the business community.

b) what issues the three main parties need to focus on in this general election campaign.

The research results will be revealed in both the Daily and Sunday Telegraph in print and online, and the survey deadline has been extended to midnight on Tuesday 13th April.

Please help us tell the politicians what business wants. Take part in the survey today here.

And in case you needed any extra persuasion, we are offering all participants the chance to win a cash prize as a reward for taking part. The top prize is £250, with five further prizes of £50 for the runners-up. Best of luck!

Thank you in advance for taking part in this unique and valuable research - you may be surprised by what you discover!

Kind regards,



David Sumner Smith
Programme Director

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 ...

Coming soon...

The iPhone (iOS) and Android powered phones have been around for a while now and 1000's of 'apps' have been downloaded to enable users to go about their daily lives, hobbies etc.  Developers were not slow to target estate agencies and convince them that their own App was a 'must have'. I have always been resistant to their charms and pleadings as I firmly believed an agent's app was n othing more than egotistical vanity! After all, I would rant, why does anyone want to use a search tool for just my listed properties? Homebuyers are looking for their next home and they really don't care who has it for sale - that's why Rightmove has been so successful. That was until I was introduced to Paul Fuggle (rhymes with Bugle) www.gobusinessapps.com  . Paul is currently creating me an app that let's me communicate with everyone downloading it, via Push technology. I can reach out to people rather than passively waiting for them to search my website or use the ...

£10k refit competition ??

I have just returned from hospital having had a procedure carried out on my foot/ankle that involves repairing a damaged tendon and realigning my foot by breaking my heel! While waiting to be called down to theatre I sat in my room checking e-mails - as you do when you want to take your mind off things. There was an e-mail from Colin Clayton of Desk Centre Limited http://www.deskcentre.co.uk talking about a £10,000 office refit and all I had to do was create a blog post suggesting why my office should be the one to receive it! What an opportunity - here I am laid up for two weeks before I can mobilise on crutches and my office certainly would benefit from a revamp in 2013. Like most surviving, small, independent estate agents we have done this by cutting costs, reducing premises and regrettably letting staff go. Our address used to be 20-22 Market Place but is now 20 Market Place only. We originally moved to No.20 from our first premises in Newnham Street in 1993- my then bu...
