DO YOU REMEMBER i-SPY BOOKS ?

Image
It is a curious thing but over recent weeks members of the public have randomly been sending pictures of our vehicles into us.  It's as if there is a competition on for who can get the best shot of our new small and very large vehicles.  And the images have been sent in from across the UK. It's as if we have our very own i-spy campaign - who knew !! But if you see us on the road take a quick snap and send it to photo@jwdremovals.co.uk and maybe we will turn it into a competition with a couple of prizes for the best shot in or around October. Are i-SPY books still on sale?

UK's Top 10 Trendiest Cities and Towns

Image
Based on the level of "coolness" – namely, the number of yoga centres, independent coffee shops, farmers' markets, breweries and independent cinemas per square mile these are the UK's 50 biggest towns and cities to live in according to Ocean Finance (see image). Surprisingly, London is named the seventh least trendy place to live. This reflects the fact that the city's yoga centres, indie coffee shops, farmers' markets, breweries and indie cinemas are pretty spread out, meaning it has fewer square mile. If you are moving home across the South East to a "cool" town, let JWD do the heavy lifting and give you a stress free home removal service.

UK House Prices on a Roller Coaster

Image
Rightmove claim that house prices have fallen for the first time this year It said the average price of property coming to market in August was down 0.3%, a drop of £1,076 to £337,371. This was prompted by the ending of the stamp duty holiday and a subsequent fall in demand for bigger homes. However, properties aimed at first-time buyers and second-steppers are still seeing high demand, leading to new record high average prices in those sectors, he added. Rightmove figures show an 0.8% drop in the four-bedroom-plus sector, but new record price highs in the two bedroom sector, up by 0.6%, and three to four bedroom second-stepper-type properties, up by 0.3%.

Buy A Castle for £1

Image
Castle, a crumbling-but-iconic landmark on the Isle of Rum with a nominal value of £1 — but the buyer will need very deep pockets Kinloch Castle has been seeking a buyer for years, but as its condition worsens the renovation and repair costs for this magnificent Scottish property are estimated to be in the region of £20 million. Can a new owner be found? A benevolent buyer is sought to save Kinloch Castle on the Isle of Rum — which Betjeman called ‘an undisturbed example of pre-1914 opulence’ — put on the market by NatureScot (formerly Scottish National Heritage (SNH)). Lancastrian multimillionaire Sir George Bullough built the turreted, red-sandstone house in 1897–1900 on the Inner Hebridean island to host stalking, fishing, shooting and high-society decadence and the rooms are still as they were in its heyday, with a Steinway grand complete with scratches from dancing ladies’ heels, four-posters, a sprung-floor ballroom with gold-damask walls and even a vintage dental surgery.

Affordability in the UK property market has plunged over the last year

Image
Affordability in the UK property market has plunged over the last year amid soaring house prices and stagnating wage growth, according to new figures published today. Research published today from Halifax shows the average home in the UK now costs 8.1 times average earnings, the highest on record since the lender started tracking the figures 10 years ago. The price to earnings ratio has widened from 7.5 in 2020, driven by a surge in house prices over the last year triggered by the stamp duty holiday.

Moving home Brighton to Laughton, Lewes, East Sussex

Image
A job we have been working on over recent days for a delightful customer who is moving home from Brighton to the village of Laughton, 5 miles East of Lewes, East Sussex On the inset (bottom right) the Laughton village sign refers to the village as the "Village of the Buckle" This is a reference to the buckle on the Pelham's coat of Arms. The Buckle was a gift from the King Henry VIII to Sir Nicholas Pelham in reward for leading a group of men from Seaford and local landowners to repulse a small French fleet that attempted to land in Seaford Bay, in 1545. The area of the battle, at the western end of Seaford, East Sussex seafront, is, consequently, now known as The Buckle. The crew on this removal included team leader Matt Parks, Alfie and Dean.
