It's the 29th of Feb and my wife has proposed?

Yes I know you’re thinking if she's your wife then how can she propose, well she has proposed I do more around the house, the kitchen, and the garden.

Who said romance was dead!

I went to see a lovely family on Tuesday in South Wales they had a little boy who was about 12 months old with great big blue eyes, and they wanted to sell their property and rent it back.

We have agreed on the price that the family required, and they also like the fact that if they want in the future when their situation improves they can buy their home back.

The young lady called me and after we had said
we pay £500 for legal costs she said you don’t need to give me £500 as the legal costs were only £320 + VAT

It was very refreshing as how many people would have done that? We will still pay her the £500.00 so she can spend the extra on her little boy.

You meet some great people in my line of work and it’s just that Life has its ups and downs and most people are just going through a bad patch or had some bad fortune.

I hope this young family get the luck they deserve and I think that her partner has just started a new job so hopefully it’s onward and upward for the couple in Wales!

Bye for now

Watching Disney's Cars Movie for the 50th time!

It's Saturday morning and I’ve been up since 6am with my little boy Danny watching the Disney movie Cars.

It has to be about the 50th time I've seen the film, I think it’s funny watching him as every time he's watching the movie,and it’s as if he’s watching it for the first time.

I went in the kitchen to make the boy's a cup of tea and switched on the radio to hear yet another negative article about the sell to rent back market.

I find it very frustrating because you never hear the stories about the positive areas of our business when selling your home fast can save you thousands of pounds and realise your dreams.

Let me tell you about the time a couple had found a house they dreamed of owning but the property had never come on the market, in fact it seems all the houses in that area only come on the market if someone’s past away.
So they had to move fast and needed a quick sale but with the market at the moment how would they achieve that?

Well they contacted our company K&D Property Buyers and enquired about selling their property fast we went to visit them, they had lived in the house for 26 yrs and had no mortgage, we stepped in bought the house which enabled them to command a £10,000 discount on the new property because they could exchange and complete immediately.

So in summary we helped realise this couples dreams and also helped them save thousands of pounds on the new property ,no estate agents fees to pay we even paid the solicitors fees for them.

Yes we bought the house under market value but we feel it was a Win Win situation as the couple only paid £3,000 for the property and to sell it they would have needed to modernise and decorate it to get any chance of selling the property fast, I'm sure they will be very happy in the New House and wish them all the luck in the world!

I just wish the press would sometimes mention some of the positive scenarios that happen in our business of hassle free property buying instead of the negative.
Well the films finished now, so for those who have watched Cars Kerchowwwww!
If you haven’t you won’t have a clue what I’m talking about.
Bye for now
