Off to a Flying Start in Fakenham Our Results We have had an amazing start in the first 2 weeks of being open we were instructed on over £5,000,000 worth of property to sell, and are seeing a lovely wide range of property types. These have included your typical pretty cottages, more practical modern family homes and large period homes, such as the Grade 1 Manor House we are instructed to sell at £2.95m, and we also have a keen interest in any development opportunities. A GENUINE London presence with our office in Park Lane, Mayfair also ensures our clients have a strong exposure to London buyers, who make up a large percentage of our current market.

The F&C Way Since we’ve been running the Fakenham office we have agreed sales on just shy of £3,000,000, and these are mainly properties that we have proactively approached because we have identified that they have been on the market longer than they should. With the F&C ‘Lifestyle’ approach to selling, we have been able to make suggestions and alterations to the current marketing strategy, which has resulted in a successful sale. We realise that with smart phones, tablets and the wide range of property portals now online, home buyers have a massive choice of properties at their fingertips. No other agent does more to ensure homes stand out amongst the competition, and within an hour can and will demonstrate to a potential customer our exact methods and offer a precise strategy that we know will bear results.

Our People Darren Warren heads up the new office, and with his 23 years’ experience is relishing the opportunity to expand the Fine & Country property portfolio across this diverse part of the county. Sophie Gordon has lived locally for over 10 years, relocating with her family from Islington, London, and can therefore personally relate to the large majority of our customer base who are also looking to move to Norfolk. Sophie also understands the importance of schooling, and is an expert at finding property in the right location to suit your exact requirements. Paula Wharton comes with 23 years of valuable experience, and her particular passion is for first class customer service. She is responsible for the production of all our marketing brochures, ensuring their quality and accuracy. Together we will ensure that we achieve the BEST possible results for our clients, in timescales that suit their requirements and with the exact service you’d expect from an agent like Fine & Country.

Why Fakenham?

Fakenham was an obvious choice as we were already hugely successful in the area, and there was a strong demand for a proactive agent like Fine & Country to come to the town. Because of enquiries from customers looking to buy both permanent and holiday homes, our office covers a wide area, from the villages north of Dereham all the way up to the prestigious North Norfolk coast. Demand is always strong around popular areas such as Wells-Next-The-Sea, The Burnhams, Blakeney, Holt, Brancaster, and Fakenham itself is fast becoming an area in high demand. With amenities overflowing and schooling ranking high on Ofsted, it’s the perfect choice for young, growing families, retired folk and those who simply want a holiday home in North Norfolk.

Please feel free to drop in to meet the team as we would love to welcome you to our new office.

The extra-professional way to keep your stone floors, carpets and soft furnishings looking great!!

You may be very proud of your sparkling new home, but over time you’ll probably find that even your best cleaning efforts simply aren’t good enough to keep your floors, carpets and upholstery in that ‘just moved in’ condition.

“That’s when people are tempted to hire cleaning equipment for themselves,” says Xtraclean's Martin King, “but without an understanding of how different fabrics and surfaces react to cleaning and without any technical experience, it can be a risky venture – and the results can be very upsetting and extremely costly.”

Martin founded Xtraclean 22 years ago, and the Swaffham-based company are true experts in cleaning carpets, upholstery and stone floors.

Their professional and friendly service covers East Anglia with a team of highly skilled, highly trained and highly knowledgeable technicians dedicated to keeping your home looking its very best.

Indeed, Xtraclean’s truck-mounted cleaning system (which uses its own water supply) enables it to offer one of the most up-to-date and effective services in the whole country.

“One of the most important steps in the whole process takes place before we even start cleaning,” explains Martin. “We thoroughly check and examine the condition of all surfaces to ensure they’re treated with the correct products at the right temperatures – and if they need any pre-cleaning treatment.”

By using professional products

specially developed for specific materials, Xtraclean leaves you with a home that’s perfectly safe for children and animals – and the optional addition of special protection can keep mould, mildew and harmful bacterias to a minimum for even longer.

“Applying a protector or sealant increases the life expectancy of furnishings and floors,” says Martin, “but if people decide against having their carpets and floors protected, we always give them expert advice on post-cleaning care.”

For an extra reliable, an extra professional and an extra friendly service that’s also fully-insured, Xtraclean is the obvious answer – contact Martin and his local-based team today and give your home the look it always deserves!

Introducing our City Collection.

Contact Helen Plumstead now on 01603 221888 Helen Plumstead City Collection Manager/Valuer

The City Collection Properties in Norwich City Centre and the immediate surrounds have continued to be in high demand and this trend is set to last.

With Norwich being rated as one of the safest places in the country to live, coupled with some of the best schooling available, it is understandable why our fine city remains such a popular place to live. If you would like further information on schooling please call us on 01603 221888 and we will be pleased to send you our 2016 edition of the Fine & Country Guide to Education.

Why choose Fine & Country Not only do we offer a bespoke brochure with professional photography and journalism, our experienced sales team have a sound knowledge of many of their buyers and therefore knows exactly what they are looking for in their next home. This is an important consideration when deciding which agent to place one of your greatest assets with, and your decision should not be based solely on which agent can offer you the lowest fee.

Our aim is to not only achieve the best possible price for your property, but to introduce you to the right buyer and one who has been qualified financially.

Highly Recommended “I want to thank you, Helen and all the others at Fine and Country for your excellent work in selling our house. Right from the outset you were all enthusiastic, friendly and completely on the ball. Of all the various bodies involved in the sale, you were by far the most efficient. We felt that you always had our interests at heart, and were quite often one or two steps ahead of us. Selling property is a tense business, fraught with haz`rds, but we always felt we could rely on your calmness and persistence. We had a wide choice of agents to entrust our house to, but could not have done better than select you. Many thanks.”

Stephen Adamson

“I just wanted to thank you for helping me with the sale of my house. Your help throughout the process, particularly from Natasha was first class, and, as ever, Sally was wonderful too – I have been happily recommending you to others” Jonathan Briggs

“I wanted to drop you a line to commend Richard, who has provided outstanding client care throughout the whole process. In particular he has been an extremely valuable conduit between the two parties and respective solicitors, often seeking to assist where the process seemed delayed/stuck. In my past experience, estate agents tend to be quite passive once solicitors have been instructed.

Richard's more active approach certainly was appreciated.”

Buy-to-let property: still a safe bet?

In December 2015, the UK’s biggest private landlords, Fergus and Margaret Wilson agreed the sale of approximately 900 of their properties to an international investor for around £250M (thisismoney.co.uk, 9th December 2015). With the Chancellor seemingly targeting buy-to-let owners as a way to generate further tax revenue and to help overcome the residential housing crisis, many are asking whether buy-to-let properties are still a good investment long term.

In capping tax relief for mortgage interest payments on buy-to-let properties and introducing an additional 3% stamp duty surcharge on all buy-to-let and second property purchases, Chancellor George Osborne has directly targeted the purses of UK landlords by increasing cost of investment and reducing net profit for these investors. When combined with the other costs associated with buying and managing a buy-to-let property, along with the inherent risks to return on investment of vandal tenants, periods of vacant possession and capital gains tax on sale, purchasing a buy-to-let is becoming an increasingly less attractive investment option.

The reason for the timing of the Wilson’s mass property sale has been subject to wide speculation, however it is fair to assume that the announcements this year will have contributed to their decision. While they, like many, have made great returns on buy-to-let investment over the last 30 years, it is difficult to see how the next few decades will yield similar returns without a change in attitude from the government.

Investment in personal residential property still remains a sensible option for many, and has been fully supported by the Chancellor through 2015 with the introduction of help to buy ISAs the addition of a main residence nil-rate inheritance tax band and political pressure to increase the options for, particularly, first-time buyers. It seems, however, that there is a continued threat of action being taken by the government to deter potential would-be landlords and this makes investment in buy-to-let property not for the faint hearted.

Your home or other property may be repossessed if you do not keep up payments on your mortgage.

Investment Planning So, with the squeeze coming from the government and some of the biggest players in the market getting out, there has never been a better time to consider diversifying your investment strategy and to engage with a wealth manager who can discuss other investment options, considering also inheritance tax and capital gains tax liabilities. For many, property will rightly remain part of their approach to investment for many years to come, however a no-obligation conversation with one of our advisors can help you become fully aware of the potential pitfalls with buy-to-let property.

An investment with St. James's Place will be directly linked to the performance of the funds selected and may fall as well as rise. You may get back less than you invested.

The levels and bases of taxation and reliefs from taxation can change at any time and are generally dependent on individual circumstances.

Please contact us at norfolkwealth@sjpp.co.uk or call Ben Yassin directly on 07739 024 573 to arrange a meeting to discuss this, or any other related topic.

A Dunlopillo bed is a perfect sanctuary, a place to relax rest and unwind and a welcome destination in the complex journey that is our daily lives.

Personifying the very essence of comfort, today, the Dunlopillo mattress embraces the comfort values that the Dunlopillo brand was founded upon in 1929, with extra deep comfort cores that combine all of Dunlopillo's design and technical expertise into the ultimate instrument to aid a perfect night's sleep.

The natural way to sleep All Dunlopillo mattresses are made using 100% pure latex. This is a wonderful material derived from the sap of rubber trees grown in managed sustainable plantations around the world.

Health and wellbeing Natural latex has anti-allergenic, anti-bacterial and anti-microbial properties. The unique Dunlop manufacturing process ensures that all these characteristics are embodied in our innovative Dunlopillo mattresses.

Self-ventilating The unique open cell structure of Dunlopillo latex enables all of our mattresses to be self-ventilating for the whole of their life. The microscopic air bubbles promote constant air circulation and natural movement during the night helps ventilate the mattress, keeping the bed at a constant and comfortable temperature.

Pressure relieving Through its unrivalled elasticity, our latex provides instant pressure relief and encourages a healthy blood supply to your muscles so you awake feeling refreshed and revitalised.

Clean and fresh Actipro 'M technology is used in our mattress fabric to provide natural protection against allergens, dust mites and odours which helps to maintain a clean, fresh and healthy sleep environment.

Norwich School Norwich School is a thriving co-educational, independent day school for pupils aged seven to eighteen. Located in the unique setting of the Cathedral Close, the school is a traditional, yet lively place where boys and girls enjoy a rounded and stimulating education.

The beautiful surroundings and remarkable history provide a fascinating and safe learning environment. Assembly takes place in the Cathedral each day and the statue of Nelson outside the Head Master’s office is a striking reminder of one of the school’s most famous alumni.

The school boasts exceptional results and is consistently ranked as the top independent co-educational school in Norfolk. In 2015, all 20 Oxbridge candidates achieved the A level grades that they needed to convert their offers, and many pupils went on to study the competitive courses of medicine, dentistry and veterinary science.

Whilst the academic side is undoubtedly important, the school also offers a broad range of co-curricular activities and opportunities for leadership and service. Initiatives such as the Young Norfolk Arts Festival and Young Norfolk Sports Academy demonstrate the importance placed on developing talent in the arts, music and sport, both in the school and the wider community.
