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.

Sally Jackson, Director of Country House Sales, tells us why excellent customer service is so rewarding “It would be true to say that the large majority of estate agents are passionate about property. However, the question to ask is, are they equally as passionate about looking after you, their clients, and giving you the best personal service, or is it just about the fee? As the newly appointed Director of Country House Sales for Fine & Country Norfolk & North Suffolk, it is so important to me that a good relationship is built between the seller and their agent. To know that you have done the very best for your client is so rewarding, and with over twenty years’ previous experience working on the airlines and for a luxury lifestyle brand, excellent customer service is a way of life for me. I was therefore thrilled to be offered the opportunity to combine my passion for beautiful properties with the enjoyment I get from knowing and understanding my clients and to successfully matching their home to potential buyers. Selling your home is a major decision, and in some instances it can be life-changing. Moving house is often cited as being the third most stressful thing you will ever have to deal with and therefore which estate agent you appoint is a huge consideration.Why entrust this to an agent you may never meet and who communicates purely by telephone or email?
By choosing Fine & Country you will find that not only do we work for you, but we work with you. Once appointed, we always book a home visit so that not only can we view your property to get a full understanding of the type of buyer it would suit, but also so we can learn more about you, our client. We listen to your requirements, appreciate your position and offer advice regarding your onward move as we know that finding the ideal property as your next home can be difficult. We are confident that we are best placed to assist you, and with 5 offices locally and 300 offices worldwide, if you have a particular location in mind, we are always happy to carry out a personalised property search on your behalf.” Sally Jackson Director of Country Property Sales M: 07738 496011 E: sally.jackson@fineandcountry.co.uk

What our clients say about us… “The sales brochure Fine & Country produced for me was the most finely crafted piece of advertising that I have ever had done. The care taken with the photographs was extraordinary and I was delighted that the agent took the time to learn about the property from me and then tailor the brochure to showcase the points that I felt made the property stand out.” Sue Ward “Just a little note to say a big thank you for all your help, patience and tenacity during our house sale and purchase. I wish that our selling agent acted with the professionalism you showed throughout the process.” Reg & Julie Ellis “It was good to see you and your team at Fine & Country, Diss last week. I am very grateful to you, Lesley, Sue and Tanya for selling The Italian House for me at a very acceptable price, remarkably quickly. The excellent marketing and after-sales service has made selling The Italian House a painless experience and I will recommend Fine & Country to family and friends.” Ranjini Renvoize “At the end of 2016 we had the pleasure of buying a property being sold in Oulton Broad through Fine & Country. We had the fortune of being supported by Rebecca White in this process. At all times we were impressed by their attention to detail and were treated with the utmost respect and courtesy and always witnessed great professionalism. Nothing was too much trouble for Rebecca. We would not hesitate to buy or sell with them in the future.” Mr&Mrs F

METHOD
Begin by melting the butter in a medium saucepan, then add the onion and let it cook over a gentle heat for 5-7 minutes or until the onion is soft and golden. Meanwhile, place the baking dish in the oven to warm through. Now add the rice to the saucepan, stirring it around to get a good coating of butter (it will look like there’s not nearly enough rice at this stage, but it swells up during the cooking), then add the white wine and vegetable stock. Next, add the chopped sage, half a teaspoon of salt and some freshly milled black pepper and bring it up to simmering point, then transfer the whole lot from the pan to the warmed dish. Stir once, then place it on the centre shelf of the oven (without covering) to cook for exactly 20 minutes – a timer is useful here.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a small frying pan. Add the whole sage leaves, a few at a time, and cook for 30 seconds to a minute until crispy, then remove with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with kitchen paper. After the 20 minutes are up, remove the risotto from the oven and gently stir in the broad beans, asparagus and spring onions along with the 2 tablespoons of Pecorino cheese, turning the rice grains over. Now put the timer on again and cook the risotto for a further 15 minutes, then remove the dish from the oven, stir in the chives and put a clean tea cloth over it while you invite everyone to sit down.

Introducing our City Collection Contact Helen Plumstead now on 01603 221888 Helen Plumstead Branch Manager
City Living made easy We understand that moving home is one of the most important decisions you make.Your home is both a financial and emotional investment. With Fine & Country, you benefit from the local knowledge, experience, expertise and contacts of a well-trained, educated and courteous team of professionals, working to make the sale of your property as stress-free as possible. Our City Collection Specialist, Helen, has a wealth of experience having been involved in the property industry for 25 years and her enthusiasm for property shines through when you meet her. Helen’s expertise is concentrated on the beautiful properties that Norwich itself has to offer, along with those located in the surrounding villages. “I love people and property, so working for such a progressive Estate Agent makes this the perfect job for me. It is so rewarding when the properties that I take on are sold by the team and equally as rewarding is when I get referrals from previous clients” The combination of Helen’s specialist personal advice together with the unique marketing strategy of Fine & Country results in numerous delighted clients.
Below are just a few of the comments made by some of those she has represented: “We have used Fine & Country twice within the last five years and each time have found them very professional. Time was taken over producing a very detailed and impressive sales brochure with some stunning photographs. I believe that these helped greatly in attracting a number of prospective buyers within days, and more importantly for us to achieve, in each case, a number of near asking price offers.” “Having heard many excellent reports from friends who had used Fine & Country, I decided to ask them to sell my house. They prepared a very impressive brochure, having given me advice on how to present my home for the photographer. The photos were first class. They arranged several viewings and gave me detailed feedback after each one. I was a difficult client, with a few weeks of indecision and anxiety about where to move to. The manager and team were patient and nothing was too much trouble for them.” “The professional service has been great and Helen’s advice of launching and showing the house via an open day worked perfectly for our family and was very convenient. We feel it helped get us the best price and sell to the best people. The after-sale service has been smooth and organised. Thanks for all your help.” Helen Plumstead | City Collection Specialist E: helen.plumstead@fineandcountry.com T: 01603 221888 | M: 07899 797122

Warners Financial Services celebrates 30th year in business! The company was ‘born’ in 1987 at its head office in Wymondham, where it started life offering independent mortgage advice to clients of various estate agents based mainly in Norfolk and Suffolk
Stricter regulation allows us to stand out from the crowd As we all know, the property market has had its ups and downs over the years and regulation, most of it welcome, has been introduced in stages to ensure that appropriate standards are met and maintained within the mortgage industry. This has led to a huge increase in administration and the time it takes to advise on and process mortgages. It means that all advice has to be justified and written down. This tighter regulation did drive the poorer quality mortgage brokers from the market and the more efficient, ethical firms have grown stronger with a bigger slice of the cake for them. In fact, in the first quarter of 2017 almost 7 out of 10 new mortgages have been arranged by mortgage brokers rather than by the lenders themselves. Clients have become more financially savvy and clearly see the value of a broker’s advice and knowledge.
Times, they are achangin’ In those very buoyant times our very experienced team of independent mortgage and insurance advisors was advising potential property buyers on what they could borrow, finding the most competitive mortgage for them and ensuring there was adequate protection in place to ensure that the buyer and their family could afford the mortgage through both good times and (heaven forbid) bad, should they strike. How things have changed in our industry in those 30 years, yet, this is still basically what we do. Back in the late eighties and early nineties getting a mortgage at times seemed incredibly simple, perhaps too simple, with lenders prepared to offer people 125% of the value of the property in the mistaken belief that prices could only continue soaring! If that wasn’t enough many lenders would almost disregard what clients earned provided they had a decent deposit to put down. In hindsight, it was of course absolute madness and the credit crunch which followed in 2007 caused the housing market to plummet. It’s all very different today and rightly so. Today, what a client can actually afford is looked at very carefully and the amount they can borrow is carefully calculated. The days of 100% mortgages have gone, possibly for good although a few 95% mortgages exist, but these are generally expensive and difficult to obtain. Most lenders require at least a 10% deposit these days.
