WILL WRITING SERVICE NOW AVAILABLE

We have been providing a customer-led service to the property market for more than twenty years; estate agency, mortgages and conveyancing.  However, public demand and the potential knock-on effects of Mortgage Services regulations, have dictated that the company provides a Will writing service.

As responsible Mortgage Advisers and Estate Agents we are expected to ascertain at the time of you moving home, whether or not you have a Will.  We are also obliged to stress the importance of arranging a Will or updating an existing one.

Our Mortgage Advisers have also experienced a rise in demand for this service from customers, not simply looking to ensure that the proceeds of a life assurance policy are available to repay the mortgage, but for many other sensible and emotive reasons too.

We have cherry-picked the service of a company boasting more than 100 years collective experience, specialising in the writing of Wills and Estate Planning, Affinity Legal Group.

Managing Director, Mike Sharman comments: “We have been approached by an increasing number of our customers to provide this service as they have either been in the process of moving home or, not surprisingly, having just started a family.  Most seem fully aware of the importance of naming guardians for their children should the unthinkable happen, however, most people assume that when they die, all their possessions pass automatically to their spouse or family, unfortunately this is not true.  Another significant area is that of Inheritance Tax planning; depending on the size of estate, you could without professional advice, be leaving your beneficiaries with a 40% tax bill.  For business owners, a Will is equally important as it defines what should happen to your business should you die.  This is clearly better than allowing the State, legal professionals and accountants to decide, devaluing the business’ worth in the process.”

“We have been extremely careful with whom we team up; the Affinity Legal Group specialise in a specific area of law and are fully conversant with changes in legislation that can affect customers’ Wills.  Together, we also offer free reviews to our clients every three years to ensure their Wills are up to date.”

Mike Sharman concluded: “Making a Will is one of the most important things you can do as far as planning for your family’s financial future is concerned, leaving them in the best possible financial position and avoiding unnecessary inter-family disputes.”

Making a Will is now much easier; contact us for further details on 01832 280909 or email wills@sharmanquinney.co.uk

you might like to know that we are now selling more homes than at any other time during the last two years.

That's got to be good.

But even better if you're thinking about moving home in 2010 is that property prices are rising once more.

Now there's a thought for the new year.

Contact your local office to find out how much you could sell your home for with the region's leading estate agent.

SHARMAN QUINNEY CELEBRATE 20 YEARS IN BUSINESS

October 19th 2009 sees Sharman Quinney celebrate exactly 20 years of being in business.

 

What makes the achievement even more astounding is that the Company can still claim its rightful position of being the Region’s Leading Residential Estate Agent.

 

To mark the anniversary the business will be giving away £100 every working day in October to chosen causes. The causes will be nominated by the business’s customers and this gesture reflects the ongoing support that the Company has had by supporting many local charities over the years.

 

Managing Director Mike Sharman added “Our efforts in giving something back has always been part of our business model, so in some ways this is not something special, but it is important to us to help in any way we can”. 

 

Mike Sharman also added “20 years at the top of your field in any industry is remarkable, but in the property sector as competition grows, to maintain such a status is something that everyone in the organisation should be proud of. Our spirit and desire to be the very best has never waivered”.

 

Sharman Quinney will be running a host of events to mark its 20th Anniversary.

HOUSE PRICES CONTINUE TO RISE .....

UK house prices rose for the fourth month in a row during August the Nationwide has said, climbing by 1.6%. While prices are still lower than last year the Nationwide claims a key factor in lifting prices was "the exceptionally low level of interest rates".

Rates have been kept on hold at 0.5% by the Bank of England since March. Another factor is that fewer second-hand properties had come onto the market which moved the balance of supply and demand "more in favour of sellers over the course of 2009".

SHARMAN QUINNEY LAUNCH NEW HOME STAGING SERVICE

Sharman Quinney, the regions leading estate agents, have launched a new Home Staging service to add to their range of services dedicated to selling homes.

 

The Home Staging service will be offered to all Sharman Quinney vendors throughout the entire 17 branch network and will be managed by Lisa Corston of elle home interiors, a specialist in home staging and interior design.

 

Home Staging is the art of presenting a property for sale. It is about making it stand out from the competition, improving value and increasing the chances of selling.

 

Steve Quinney, Sharman Quinney comments

 

“We are delighted to team up with Lisa and add another relevant and valuable service for the benefit of our customers. We believe effective property presentation can make a difference and help improve the appeal of any home, it provides a real marketing edge in today’s market and improves the chances of selling and securing the best price.”

 

Lisa Corston, elle home interiors, explains

 

“Homeowners are so used to seeing their property everyday, they miss the obvious. But it is these mistakes that the buyers not only notice, but just can’t see past. In fact 9 out of 10 buyers can’t visualise how their own possessions would look in someone else’s house, Home Staging makes this possible.”

 

The facts

·         Statistics show that a staged home will sell 3 times quicker than a non staged home

·         63% of buyers are willing to pay more money for a house that is ready to move in to

·         The investment you make in Home Staging is typically a lot less than the reduction you may have to make if the house won’t sell

 

Sharman Quinney are the first estate agents in the area to offer such a unique service.
