It’s been an interesting last quarter, with lots going on in the world of politics and the economy, but here at Fine & Country we are making the best of the situation we find ourselves in and now have two very exciting and interesting solutions to assist our clients. Firstly, a dedicated equestrian website that as well as being the place to find your ideal equestrian home, also features articles, partner pages and a What’s On section, and secondly a dedicated Property Lifestyles website that enables prospective buyers to search for property based on a lifestyle requirement as opposed to a simple specification.

Market Comment After a generally promising first quarter of the year, the summer property market looked on track to be very busy indeed, as buyers and sellers (especially those with schooling requirements) sought to agree transactions ready for a late summer/early autumn move. Unfortunately, however much we might have hoped for a long-awaited period of economic stability, it would appear that we are now due for continued uncertainty. Whilst confidence in the property market overall remains reasonably high, latest house price data (Halifax and Nationwide) records that average sale values have now slipped in consecutive months compared with a brisk start to the year â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a trend not usually seen at this time of year and the first signals since the beginning of the credit crunch that the market is slowing down. No doubt those clients that have strong motivation to move home will press on regardless, but discretionary buyers and sellers, whose natural reaction to uncertainty is to sit on their hands and wait, may well be persuaded out of the market.

Nearer to London, affordability pressures and tax changes for investors have constrained demand and transaction numbers have fallen as a result. In east Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk, the attractive affordability level created by record low mortgage rates is still supporting demand, with correctly priced, well located and presented homes selling quickly and for premium prices. Whatever your political views, the election result was almost certainly the one that the property market wanted least of all, and the impact on the market outlook for the rest of 2017 will soon start to be felt. As always, getting solid advice on how the market is performing and how this will influence your own sale or purchase is paramount. I therefore urge you to contact your local Fine & Country office; after all is said and done, it pays to deal with professionals. Mike Bidwell Managing Director Fine & Country East Anglia

Over 70 years of experience Specialising in period properties in Essex and surrounding counties The Pewter Partnership, a family firm of Registered Chartered Building Surveyors, was formed in 1981 by the late Norman Pewter FRICS. The firm is now headed up by Senior Partner William, Normanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youngest son. William heads up the established team of Registered Chartered Building Surveyors which includes two other Chartered Building Surveyors and a further Surveyor awaiting Chartered status later this year. The whole practice has over 70 years of experience between them.

William is a passionate surveyor specialising in older period properties in which he holds a great interest. Indeed, Great Lodge Farm from where the business has its Head Office is a beautiful thirteenth century farmhouse, standing in 40 acres of land. The Pewter Partnership is subject to the code of conduct of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) of which we are members. We aim to provide a totally professional, personal service in Essex, Suffolk, Hertfordshire and Cambridge.

Introducing the new Fine & Country Property Lifestyles Website Showcasing luxury properties for sale in Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire, our new Fine & Country Property Lifestyles website www.propertylifestyles.co.uk is the place to find your ideal home and to experience everything that East Anglia has to offer. From interesting features on topical and relevant subjects, to a guide showcasing what’s on locally and a directory of local products and services, Property Lifestyles keeps you informed on the East Anglian property scene. Pride of place on the Property Lifestyles website are tools to search for your perfect Fine & Country property in the counties of Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire. Regular features discuss all aspects of buying and selling, along with an in-depth look into interior design trends, countryside lifestyle and monthly blogs from a variety of hand-picked industry experts, including:

• Guy Ransom, Commercial Director at Finn Geotherm • William George Pewter BSc MRICS, Senior Partner at the Pewter Partnership • Graeme Taplin, Drone Pilot and Director at Drone Photography LTD You will also find a comprehensive directory on the website, which contains business listings for useful products and services found within the East Anglian region. These include everything from education and professional services, to hotels, furnishings and home renovations. Also online is an extensive and varied diary of local as well as national events. From art exhibitions and festivals, to opera and regattas, you’re sure to find something to your taste. Take a look at www.propertylifestyles.co.uk

Progressing Nicely Did you know that nationally as many as 1 in 3 agreed house sales falls through for one reason or another? When you factor in that only 41% of all properties that are presented to the market ever sell in the first place - and with that percentage decreasing even more in the upper quartile of the market - it just goes to show that placing a property on the market and finding a buyer at a satisfactory price represents only one step in the process. With these slightly alarming statistics in mind, your local Fine & Country estate agency has just expanded its Dedicated Sales Progression Team to ensure that every sale we handle is proactively managed through to completion to help maximise the possibility of your sale resulting in an actual move. The primary objective of the ‘after sales team’ is to work closely with you throughout the whole sales process. They will act as a personal liaison between you and the agent that has handled the marketing of your property, the solicitors and other agents in any selling chain, the mortgage brokers, lenders and surveyors, various specialist contractors and even the removal companies, to ensure that everything that can possibly be done to get you moved is done. Whether this is by effectively communicating every important stage in the transaction, ‘holding the hands’ of the individual parties or chasing wherever and whenever necessary, Fine & Country believe that by being on the case from start to finish we can significantly reduce the risk of the heartache of a cancelled sale by up to 21%.

So, what does it all mean for you? Most importantly there is no additional cost because we only charge you the agreed commission after completion has taken place. This is a service enhancement that very few agents are willing or capable of offering, and as well as a much-reduced chance of fall-through, you can expect a swifter, less complicated sale and reduced stress because you will be kept updated at regular intervals. To find out more speak to one of our experienced team of property professionals or contact the ‘after sales team’ direct on 01603 221880 for Norfolk & Suffolk or 01206 899080 for Essex.

W E BELIEV E that change is as good as a rest Believe it or not, our Henley oak kitchen used to be seen as our most traditional, our most classic, and our most refined collection. But we knew it had hidden depths. So we took it apart and looked at all of the pieces from the inside-out and from the outside-in. Then we added new ones. To those of you who knew it before, it might look familiar, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an entirely new era of design. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Henley, redefined. Now available in both oak and painted.

What our clients say about us… ‘Dear Luan, I thought I would drop you an email to let you know how both myself and Joanne are so pleased with how you managed our house sale and purchase. We are now moved in and just about getting to the light at the end of opening boxes just to find a spoon or cups! We will recommend Fine and Country, as we don't intend to move to soon! Feel free to call in for a Prosecco one day. You earned it!’ Chris and Joanne. ‘Fine and Country are doing a great job at keeping us informed of progress, for which we are very grateful, as it is good to know how things are going’. Mark

‘I also would like to thank you for your great service. You have been very informative, quick in responding to queries, eager to help us and your fantastic email templates. We have interacted with so many estate agents/professionals but we must say we have not had as pleasant experience as we had with you so far’. Sujith ‘Thank you so much for helping us secure the cottage, both myself and Matt have said, if we came to sell the cottage, we would go through Fine & Country as we were very impressed. Thank you once again for all your help and advice with this move, it was very much appreciated.’ Amanda & Matt Jenkins

‘We just wanted to thank you and your team so much for the wonderful job you did to make the sale of Great Downs happen after years of trying. After the sale David let me stay at the lodge until I found somewhere which was perfect and just two days later I found my perfect home a lovely cottage in Tollesbury and moved in last week, and it feels great! Can't thank you enough for all your hard work’. Sally ‘Dear Luan and team, We would like to thank you all for all your hard work in selling our house. We would thoroughly recommend Fine and Country to our friends and family and a special thank you to Mathew’. Sharon and John Perfect

‘I just wanted to say a very big thank you to you and your team. After having our house on the market with another agent for 10 months and getting a poor service and little or no feedback, we found Fine and Country a breath of fresh air. Your service from the start to the end was excellent, thank you!’ Natalie and Alun

‘Hi Luan, Thank you for phoning yesterday. As Roger said we are very pleased with the way our sale has been handled by all involved at Fine and Country. I have already been telling people about you.’ Annie
