Residential Sales & Lettings AS SEEN ON TV Since 1846 Blackpool has been a tourist destination for hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. The area is so popular that many people want to retire, downsize, release equity and move to the resort and surrounding areas.

Jamie Diggins saw a gap in the market for this type of purchaser and using his expertise and knowledge set up I LOVE PARK HOMES, specialising in luxury residential park homes. The company has been running for over 3 years now and Jamie spotted another gap in the market when people buying these homes began to ask if Jamie could sell their house or possibly let it out

too. This is when Jamie and Diane got together and began the I LOVE HOMES, offering people the home selling and letting options. Diane has years of experience and is fully qualified in the Letting and Management sector and Jamie has the sales experience. Between them they hope to build this side of the business, retaining the personal service they have provided to the Park Home clients over the years and begin providing this to their clients with residential properties to sell or let. With competitive prices and special offers leading up to the new year this company could be just what you are looking for, and the team are on hand to discuss your options with no obligations.

amongst other local business owners, to highlight what the town has to offer. There is still more to come in the series and you can watch more on Thursdays at 8pm on Channel 5 in addition to watching the catch up episodes on My5. Telephone

Jamie recently caught the eye of TV producers and a Channel 5 documentary team followed Jamie,

n important fact to bear in mind with antique clocks however valuable is that they are regarded as chattels and unlike fine art do not attract capital gains tax when sold for profit. Fine clocks passed down from parents are free from inheritance tax as the chattels are outside the “seven year” rule.

example a Patek Phillip watch was recently sold for £6.9 million at Sotheby’s and of course we are all familiar with the John Harrison watch sold by Del Boy for £6 million!!!!

In conclusion you have a growing asset that is readily disposed of if Some of my wealthy customers are now remarking ruefully “wish I need be and the pleasure of owning something historic and unique had bought that walnut longcase rather than putting money into that which has been an important part of many peoples lives. isa” City Clients expect in the long term carefully selected clocks will only increase in value as quality has always appreciated. We can source Fine antique clocks by Listed makers from In my 47 years in the clock trade I have seen many changes a recent 17th 18th 19th C

‘To best serve policyholders in their time of need through exemplary customer service and high quality workmanship’ Concept Building Solutions is one of the pioneers of the building insurance claims management service and has been trading for over 12 years now in the insurance claims handling industry, we have handled tens of thousands of insurance claims and building repairs within that time, our local managers work for you the policyholder and manage the claim on your behalf, we cover domestic and commercial claims on a national basis. Who are we?

Concept Building Solutions are a truly national Claims Management company. We specialise in insurance claims and reinstatement property repairs, project managing all works from start to finish, removing stress from the customer.

What we do?

After assessing property damage we prepare a work schedule and quotation. We then negotiate and settle

the claim with the policy holder’s insurance company or appointed loss adjustor. Each Concept claims manager typically uses a local contractor base to carry out all property repair works.

How We Work & The Claims Process

We visit your property to survey all the damage and provide a list of recommended repairs with costs to your insurer. Following this we then contact your insurance company to negotiate and agree all repairs to your property on your behalf. Once accepted we will then project manage all building works with our qualified tradesmen and get your property back to its previous condition. We then invoice your insurance company directly; you have nothing to pay but the excess on the policy. For free help & advice on your property claim call today on 01253 843 065 or Freephone 0800 157 1020 Lines are open 24/7
