Ramblings
Not sure why but i don’t seem to have any interest in my ramblings just yet. Not sure if its me being dull or Google not picking the blog up. What ever the reason I’m quite enjoying both the thinking and writing so I’ll carry on for now.
The business got noticed this week all be it locally, 2 new houses on the market woooo hoooo. Both the owners are really nice people and both had suffered at the hands of some appalling service the last time they sold. I know we are going to make their day. Not just by saving them thousands in fees but in making the the whole experience less stressful.
Been to see a couple of local radio stations this week with the idea of advertising both us and our houses. Its so expensive. £3000 a month for a few 15 second adverts, Quite an outlay really… hummm. The biggest problem is the ‘creative’ IE the what the adverts will say. Both stations ideas were really rubbish. One even got our price and name wrong. They have made no effort to understand what we do and why we are unique. Its quite disappointing really. I have sent them back their respective drawing boards.
Anyway, the big positive this week is my children going back to school after the summer holidays. Florence has moved up to middle school and seems to be loving it although it was only been one day which was probably spend designing a name tag for her coat peg. The return to school means the return to house revolution of Rachel my wife. Having her in the office lifts my day and my spirit. They say husband and wife should not work together but i don’t know, so far its been a joy and her coat peg designs are quite good as well!
Back to work. laters…..

I thought you just needed an enerty efficiency certificate. Do you do these? are they in the price? If you pay in advance (ie the lesser price) is that then forfeit if the property is not sold by you?
