The silky skilful ADL team had three challenges this year, 2 from permatan and the boys at Steven Oates and one from William H Brown, Hoddesdon, results as follows :-

ADL 5 - Steven Oates 3

ADL 8 - Steven Oates 8

ADL 9 - William H Brown 8  ( Rocco and his boys -5 goal penalty for fielding complete ringer, supposedly working for Browns in Aylesbury, turned out to be a scaffolder from Ware)

If any agents have their own team and want to take on the ADL boys e mail our fixture secretary ben@anthonydavies.24.co.uk

If you have a property to sell locally I am posting this to let you know of our joint agency deal. We work as joint agents with Colin and the boys at Hertford for a flat fee of 1.5% plus vat.

This gives you double exposure with two agents and superb marketing facilities, we have worked successfully on many joint sales in 2007, specialising in maximising asking prices for our clients.

I am writing this to tell you about the worlds worst football supporter, he may have a great business and an 80’s haircut, he may be a talented designer and brilliant at slipping  off to the Queen for a few, he might even be able to sink more Jd’s than the Titanic but one thing he’s no good at is turning up at the Spurs.

He’s got a season ticket at Spurs in the West Stand Lower ( two seats away from Jude Law ), record so far this year 9 home games, turned up for one ( against the arsenal ). So if you want his ticket e mail me and I will get it for you. But don’t tell him I have given it away as he will tie you up and tell you about your parents !

The end of 2007 completes our first decade for Anthony Davies. We intend to mark the event by launching a charity year for 2008.

Our chosen charity for the year will be the Chain Of Hope. The charity was set up by Sir Magdi Yacoub and is dedicated to giving children from less fortunate countries access to life saving heart surgery.

My eldest daughter Chloe had open heart surgery to save her life at 11 months old, nearly ten years ago. She was operated on by Sir Magdi on May 1st 1998, nearly ten years ago at Harefield hospital.

We are hoping to raise a substantial amount throughout the year through various fundraising events including a parachute jump for Ben, Enzo and Marc and culminating with a charity event later in the year.

We also hope to make an annual charity project after 2008 and are looking at LOCAL projects and charities for 2009. If you want to talk to us about a local project for 2009 please e mail me at richard@anthonydavies24.co.uk.

I am often asked on my opinion for what is happening in the rental market and what is in store for the short term. Well the good news is the local rental market shows no sign of slowdown. So far in 2007 we have averaged over 50 rentals per month from our three shops, representing a 15% plus increase over 2006.

I would predict that rental levels will increase in the area by a further 20% in 2008. Good news also for property investors are that I expect local rent levels to rise + 10/15% over the next 12 - 18 months. We at Anthony Davies will be pro-active in increasing rents due to supply and demand.

We are aware that to get properties rented we will need to increase our advertising budgets over our many competitors to keep our properties at the forefront and to increase enquiries.

 We already have our plans in place for 2008 and look forward to what I am sure will be an exceptional year.

Last Saturday I ate out with the Mrs, my good pals Simon , Nat and all the kids and booked a last minute table at the Masoom through my client Michael , the owner.

Now, I always thought the Masoom was a pretty good take out but it is now a really nice Indian restaurant in modern and contemporary surroundings. Get yourself down there if you like Indian food but tell him to hurry up with the beers.

 Anyway Michael I will expect a better discount for this mention.  Rich

As if being a Spurs supporter isn’t bad enough I had to endure watching a right load of old dross last night, we might have been better off playing American football on that awful Wembley pitch, what an embarrassment. At least the Wally with the Brolly McLaren has gone, I think I will apply for the job.

My current property Manager Jean Higgs ( a legend in her own lunchtime ) is going on maternity leave at the end of November and I am therefore looking for a full time replacement.

Now this is not an easy job to fill, the position is based @ our busy Hoddesdon office working with four male estate and letting agents. The position is making sure the back office runs smoothly and effectively. So the candidate must be :-

Trustworthy and dedicated, able to deal with maintenance issues quickly and efficiently, very computer literate including spreadsheets/ excel, a good problem solver, punctual and reliable, and must have an excellent sense of humour.

Ideally would suit someone hoping to make a career in the lettings and estate business. If you think you would be interested please e mail me at richard@anthonydavies24.co.uk with your details, interviews commencing immediately.

One of by best pals Steve Tate ( thats Steve on the left, Ladies night 2005) had a well serious back operation two weeks ago. If you see him about he will be wearing a corset for three months under his clobber.

 Get well soon Stevie.
