I’m dreaming of a white Christmas.
Friday, December 8, 2017
It may be chilly outside but the odds of a white Christmas are slim at only 6/1 and that’s for just one snowflake to fall in London on Christmas Day.

Spotlight on Staines-upon-Thames -our estate agent’s view
Thursday, December 7, 2017
Spotlight on Staines-upon-Thames -our estate agent’s view. Staines-upon-Thames is a vibrant riverside town offering residents a lifestyle to match. The town is growing and there are clear signs of infrastructural improvements. Proximity to London, relatively low rents and an increasing number of start-up businesses have put Staines in the spotlight as THE place to be. There has been a significant increase in new businesses per 10,000 population with a figure more than three times the UK average and despite poor press in the past, the town has established itself as a hotspot for start-up companies, including high-tech businesses attracted to the M4 corridor. A town centre transformation in recent years and superb transport links by road, rail and air all add up to a highly attractive proposition.

Great news for first time buyers
Wednesday, November 22, 2017
Today’s Budget is great news for first time buyers as stamp duty is to be abolished with immediate effect for first-time buyers purchasing properties worth up to £300,000. Additionally, of particular importance in the South East where property is above average price, the first £300,000 of the cost of a £500,000 purchase by first-time buyers will be similarly exempt from stamp duty. This means that up to 80% of all first-time buyers will not pay stamp duty and is very welcome news – an early Christmas gift from the Chancellor, Philip Hammond.
Unique development opportunity in Upton Park
Monday, November 20, 2017
Upton Park was designated a conservation area in 1970, comprising two distinct areas either side of the Datchet Road; one with a medieval core, the other a Victorian development which resulted from Slough’s growth following the arrival of the Great Western Railway in 1838. Together the areas constitute an area of significant historic interest and architectural heritage.
