Easter is over and the sun is shining, I had to carry out a final inspection in a flat at Paddick Close today, expecting some junior bordella, blow me over this flat came back immaculate, Jerczy take a bow, it is brilliant to see this standard of return, deposit cheque in the post !!

So, hows the first three months of 2009 in lettings ? Well we have a had a very decent first quarter from both shops and have completed on 85 lettings, down on last year but not too disppointing. There is a lot of stability in the market with tenants remaining in situation longer and buy to let properties not being sold.  We are seeing slightly less tenants around so rental prices remain slightly down but minimising void periods is key to successful lettings.

I understand from my estate agents colleagues that the market is improving with confidence so we can move in to the spring / summer months with much better property news.

Lets at least hope for some decent weather over over Easter , I am going to Spain with the family for the holidays for a bit of a junior relax….happy holidays..
