Over the last few years the housing market has changed dramatically. Not least because of the recession, but there have been major legislation changes, the mortgage market review plus changes in peoples buying habits and behaviour. I’ve previously touched on the subject of, how with the internet and public access rights, buyers now have access to a huge amount more information about a property before they even entertain the idea of viewing/offering/buying it. But the way that people search for a property or estate agent has changed dramatically too.

There are still people who wish to see estate agents and visit an agents offices to register and get to know the staff who will be assisting them in their property search or sale or who call us to register and make their enquiries. But gone are the days when the first port of call would be the telephone directory. There is still some debate about the value of a local newspaper advert – with most buyer and seller enquiries coming via the internet. We reached the point where we were our newspaper advertising had become ineffective as we weren’t getting enquiries from it. In an area likes ours a lot of business is generated through customer recommendation and board presence. In fact, word of mouth is a valued source of business for us. With the internet becoming the advertising power of an estate agent we have moved with the times in trying to capitalise on that advertising power to benefit our customers.

With modern day life taking over our time, customers want as much information available to them at various times of the day or night, without having to wait for you to respond to them. Whether sellers or buyers, customers want to find our properties online and also have access to as much information as possible about them. People want to make their own informed decision, but in the minimal amount of time. As being time conscious is now a way of life, vague information is the thing of the past, customers want to know everything and up front. They are sooner likely to discount something that doesn’t show them the information they need/want. So whilst some traditional agents think less is more and believe that makes the customers have to speak to them so they can control the enquiry and activity, we are real advocates of getting as much information out there as possible and it’s getting results.

Therefore it is vital for us to advertise on a property website and with Rightmove currently being the most known and used website for UK properties – that is where we focus our property website advertising. We have trialled various other property websites over the years, but nothing so far has given us sustainable activity that compared or proved worth continuing. But this is not our only source of online enquiries. As the internet has grown, so too have the different types of media people use on a daily basis. With the advance in mobile technology such as laptops, ipads and internet enabled mobile phones, people don’t just sit at home or work on a desktop computer to use the internet and there has been a change in the types of websites they use too.

With social media websites such as facebook, twitter, Google+ and LinkedIn, what started as social networking has swiftly also become business networking and information resourcing. We have a presence on all of those websites and it is a huge resource for new and existing business. Whether it be another way for new or existing customers to communicate and get messages to us, keep up with our activity, find our properties or recommend us to friends and family it is a valued extra advertising and communication tool that benefits both our customers and ourselves – plus to make it even better they are free! More often than not now, new customers have already looked at our online presence, property advertising and business profiles on these sites before contacting us. I am amazed how many potential new customers tell me they know about us and how busy we are, because they’ve looked at our social media advertising, either purposefully, or by a friend of theirs who follows us telling them or showing them. It’s become a new type of ‘word of mouth’. As an example this week I have already used social media websites to share property listings, update sellers of their sale progress, have further conversation following up an appraisal on a property, communicate with a past customer and also confirm viewing appointments. As a customer isn’t it great to have an estate agent that offers you various different methods of communicating with them. Plus the extra avenues of advertising your property – that follow the trends of the buying public.

Widening the reach of a property’s advertising is key. And simply putting a link to the property listing on the social media websites is a great advantage. It’s like a chain mail sequence. We list the link to the property listing on our social media pages, it shows up to all our followers, any of them can like or share it and then it will show up to their followers who too can do the same – before you know it that original listing has potentially reached hundreds if not thousands of people and potentially in as little as seconds. We all know it only takes that one right buyer to come along and a property can be sold – so following the trend of social media can offer a huge advantage to both us as an estate agent and our customers.

If you aren’t already, but would like to, please follow us on our social media sites below are the web links to find us, remember, you can not only follow us, but you can suggest your followers do too and you can join in the chain reaction of sharing and spreading the word:

With the onset of the nice weather and as the children break up from school people are now starting to think about their summer holidays again so it’s vitally important to get your travel insurance in place at the same time as booking your holiday. An emergency abroad can be extremely expensive and if you need to be returned to the UK it can cost thousands of pounds unless you are adequately insured. We can arrange policies for back packers, groups, single trips, long stay and annual policies with varying levels of cover to suit you with many hazardous sports including scuba diving covered as standard. It’s also worth bearing in mind that unlike the mainland NHS assistance doesn’t apply to the Channel Islands so you would need a separate policy if you are going there. Many people wait until just before they leave to buy their insurance but if you take it out when you book then if the worst should happen and you needed to cancel then you would be covered. Do’s and Don’t Tips when Going on Holiday Apart from the obvious, locking doors, windows and cancelling the newspaper there are other factors to be aware of. Social networking can be a danger without you even realising it. Be very careful who you are telling that you are on holiday when using these sites, it’s easy, especially for kids to get excited about an approaching holiday and updating your status and being open about your plans could give an opportunist burglar viewing your profile all the information they need to burgle your home while you are away. If you’re taking your satnav with you make sure you set your home location to your street rather than your exact address. If your sat nav is stolen while you are away not only has the thief got an expensive and easily saleable item, they also have your home address and a handy little device to help them get there! It’s also worth bearing in mind that if you are taking expensive items with you such as camera’s laptops or jewellery they may not be covered on your household insurance policy away from the home.

July has been a month of storms with torrential rain alternating with Hot humid weather, Plants are looking luxuriant but we have had to keep removing rain damaged flowers, and dying leaves around the base of the plants to avoid ‘damping off’, The containers plants are looking very good but despite the heavy rain we have kept up watering to ensure that the compost doesn’t dry out. An occasional feed has also been given to promote healthy plants for the remainder of the summer. The mulch is being effective and a few perennial weeds have struggled through but they are easily removed.

At the end of July we have planned to remove some of the Grass like plants from one of our beds near the Bridge Hotel (Billy’s Garden) and replacing them with Dahlias donated by a Sutton Bridge Resident which will give a spot of colour from late summer through to the autumn. Flower of the Month a rose from Pat’s Garden on the Falklands Estate. This flower bed has some well established Lavender plants, inviting you to stand nearby, inhale their perfume and listen to the summer sounds of the bumble bees that are enjoying the fragrant nectar.

Funeral costs are increasing more rapidly than inflation and average savings returns. The cost of a funeral has risen 80% since 2004. It is estimated that by 2021 the average cost of a funeral will be almost £6000 and by 2029 over £10,200. We know how much you value spending time with the people who matter to you the most. That’s why it is important to know that when you’re gone, your loved ones won’t be burdened with expensive funeral bills. A pre-paid funeral plan provides protection from rising funeral costs by fixing the costs of the Funeral Director’s fees and services. Paying in advance for your funeral is a sensible decision that will save you money and will benefit your family or estate. Investing in a funeral plan may seem a very daunting task. Planning ahead provides protection from rising funeral costs and relieves your loved ones of the emotional worry and stress of arranging your funeral when the time comes. Applications are guaranteed to be accepted with no age restrictions, no health questions and there is no requirement for a medical examination. There are a range of flexible payment options to suit you – you can pay in full or spread the cost with affordable monthly payments over a term of up to 10 years. We understand that you are effectively paying now for a future service that will occur but one you will not see. It is therefore important that the Company has appropriate safeguards with leading institutions to ensure your peace of mind. Your funds will be held in a specially designed Trust that is separate to the Company and managed by Independent Trustees to ensure your long-term financial security. We can provide a free home advisory service with one of the Company’s experienced advisors who will review your existing arrangements, discuss your concerns and the benefits of the affordable funeral plans.
