 FROM
BERRY EVERITT
Things really are looking up in the real estate
industry, as underlined by the latest 0,5 percentage point drop
in the prime interest rate, which will help to improve home affordability
and further stimulate demand.
Last year at this time, the world economy was in
tatters and free falling at an accelerating pace, and the residential
property sector was right in the middle of the storm. But as we
predicted, things started to turn around during the third quarter
of 2009, and we have seen steady if not startling improvement since.
Now, at the end of the first quarter of this year,
we are happy to report that unit sales in our group have increased
69% year-on-year, and that turnover is 75% up. In short, the storm
is behind us and the property market is stabilising.
Meanwhile, the storm has taught many of us valuable
lessons that we can hopefully put to good use in the future. Most
importantly for our group, it has strongly re-emphasised the need
for us to always view the "Chas Everitt experience" from
our customers' perspective and always aim to make that experience
memorable for all the right personal reasons.
We believe that although we live in an age where
mediocrity is rapidly becoming the norm, it remains wholly unacceptable,
especially in an industry where we are seeking to build relationships
founded on trust. And we know that really excellent, interested
service that makes people feel valued and appreciated is what creates
that trust - and incidentally creates successful businesses.
Consequently, while we are looking forward to further
improvement in the market this year, and some real increases in
property values, our primary focus, now and in the future, is still
firmly fixed on "going the extra mile" for every one of
our clients.

If you're one of the many thousands of people who've decided
to run a business from your home, you may not now be able
to sell that property legally unless it has first been advertised
in the way prescribed by the Insolvency Act - even if you
are not about to go insolvent...

| Get
a dishwasher, it's eco-friendly |
|
Most people find it hard to believe that dishwashers generally
use much less water than it takes to wash dishes by hand,
but several studies have shown this to be true, including
those done by the Waterwise organisation in the UK and the
University of Bonn...
