Moving on?
Thursday, August 27, 2015
September has always been a time for the property market to step up a gear after a long lazy summer where thoughts are on holidays and relaxing with family and friends. Somehow the new school year acts as a signal to get moving again – in every sense of the word.
Variety is the spice of life
Wednesday, August 19, 2015
Every homebuyer is different, with a range of “must haves” on their wish list when looking for their dream home. The longer the wish list, the harder it can be to meet a buyer’s exacting requirements. But variety is the spice of life and at The Frost Partnership we are delighted with the range of properties that come to the market in our area. From Grade II listed to contemporary; loft style apartment to sumptuous family home with leisure complex, there really is a dream home for everyone in our current sales portfolio.

Maintenance stress? Relax and let us do the work.
Tuesday, August 4, 2015
In a recent survey by Ocean Finance, over half of tenants reported problems within the last year ranging from poor maintenance to breaches of contract. The biggest problem, for 15% of tenants interviewed, was their landlord’s failure to fix issues such as a leaking roof or damp. Other problems included broken furniture, faulty appliances and money disputes. Some of the problems were simply because the landlord was too busy to address the problem quickly. At The Frost Partnership we help with all the stressful aspects of letting a property from finding suitable tenants, to routine maintenance and complying with legislation.
Cutting the commute
Thursday, July 23, 2015
A recent survey suggests that the average British worker spends a staggering 11 working weeks every year commuting to and from work. So it’s no surprise to find that workers with lengthy commutes are increasingly looking for rental properties with great transport connections.
