on Vicar Lane in 2021.
At the heart of North Home lies a deep appreciation for Nordic design. Inspired by the minimalist yet warm aesthetic of Scandinavian homes, with designers carefully selected and collections curated to bring joy and comfort.
North Home founder Kamil Wangin said: “We have poured all our love and passion for Nordic furnishings into this new store, so we are hugely excited to be open and welcoming customers. We hope they enjoy it as much as we did creating it.”
The design of new store, which incorporates lots of heritage features along
with contemporary styling, has been carried out by Yorkshire-based commercial interiors specialist Design Tonic.
Design Tonic director, Amanda Cook, said: “County Arcade is an incredible building with many original and quirky features, so it is the perfect location for an aesthetically beautiful store like North Home. It’s been a fantastic project for Design Tonic and the team have created a space that not only complements the minimalist tone that Nordic design is renowned for but is also warm, welcoming and has a real wow factor.”

LANDSCAPE
After a volatile 2024, will we start to see some stability in 2025? We asked three experts for their property predictions.
JORDAN YORATH MONROE ESTATE AGENTS
2024 has been a highly unpredictable year in the estate agency calendar, as many of the seasonal peaks and troughs have adjusted due to political events. Where we would normally have seen a quieter period during the school holidays of July and August, the Bank of England reduced the base rate on 31 July and in the weeks before a new government was elected. The months of May
and June were unseasonally quiet in contrast to August which was exceptionally busy due to the pent-up demand especially following the base rate reduction.
Following on from this at the end of October, the Labour government’s anticipated to have a negative impact on the housing market but has passed without any major consequences for the majority of residential home buyers. A week later interest rates were further reduced and I can speak
period of time represents our strongest months of the year for sales agreed. I would anticipate that the – up to circa £500,000– in North Leeds will be frenzied in the next few months with buyers trying to conclude sales before the stamp duty
buyers reduces on 1 April. in the premium housing market, I would expect great increased activity in the higher end market throughout 2025.
JOE BLACKBURN BLENHEIM PARK ESTATES
I am so proud of the team here at Blenheim Park Estates for their continued persistence, hard work and desire to ensure every client’s experience is exemplary. With so many twists and turns, this year has been full of excitement and a little uncertainty. The changes in
provided us with a number of head-scratching moments. However, this is why I love and am so passionate about selling homes; every day holds a different challenge.
Whilst we have always worked tirelessly with our new and existing clients
homes, we have shifted our ambitions slightly this year to be more dynamic and creative. Our speciality is providing the vision to create amazing spaces that are modelled by our clients’ lifestyles.
This has resulted in selling many properties on the market; however, a major driving force in our 2024 success has been developing discreet off-market sales.
2025 holds many hopeful moments already for Blenheim, with an exciting chapter on the horizon that allows us to integrate all of our services into one multifaceted business. This will enable clients to work
with us at any stage of their journey, whether that be with a plot of land, or tailoring their current home to their requirements.
I look forward to working
and beyond, bringing new clients into this beautiful city.
MELISSA KROGER FENWOOD ESTATES
As a property developer in the United Kingdom, the current housing market presents both opportunities and challenges. While demand for new housing remains high, we are grappling with material supply shortages that push up costs and complicate timelines. Over-regulation
and laborious planning processes often slow approvals, creating additional hurdles that can undermine project viability.
Navigating the varied local authority requirements adds another layer of complexity, while rising local authority taxes further strain budgets. Despite these issues, I believe that innovation and collaboration within the industry can lead us toward
practical solutions.
Looking ahead to the next 12 months, I anticipate that the market will continue to be volatile. However, if we can advocate for streamlined processes and address supply chain issues, there may be pathways to success. The commitment to providing affordable housing will be crucial, and I remain hopeful that we can adapt and thrive in this evolving landscape.

Testimonials
“Joanne and Neal offered a very professional and individual service to ensure that communications and market intelligence was presented to us most effectively.”
“Their attention to detail is enviable and they go the “extra mile” on every occasion to make sure that the house is perfectly presented to prospective purchases.”
“Even during the completion process Joanne genuinely cared enough to ensure that the transaction kept moving. Queries were answered promptly and conflicts were avoided by Bloor suggesting reasonable compromises to both parties.”
“Hi Joanne, Hoping you are well, Sorry its taken a while but I just wanted to email you to thank Bloor & Co for their work on the sale of my father’s flat. I'd especially like to thank Rachel for her work in handling this. I always felt she had it covered. I always chose Bloors as I knew Neal and Nigel, I didn't even look at anyone else but your service from start to finish proved I made the right choice. Thank you.”
“I just wanted to thank you and your team for all your help over the years. You offered great prompt service. It’s been a pleasure dealing with you.”
“Hi, I am just emailing to say thank you once again. Both yourself & the team were absolutely wonderful during the buying process. Without you all I think I would seriously have struggled. Buying a home is incredibly stressful, but your calmness, patience, & reassurance was perfect. Thank you, once again, so very much. I have highly recommend you to everyone I know. I feel, now we've moved I have lost friends.”
“The Team at Bloor were absolutely fantastic when selling my parents’ home and purchasing their new apartment. They were great at communicating and keeping you in the picture and explaining the next steps. They made what can be an emotional and stressful time much more manageable and would definitely use them in the future. They were very kind and considerate when dealing with my elderly parents. Definitely a five star service.”
“Many thanks for all that you have done as our rental agent over recent years. Your management of the rental process has been very effective, given us much-needed peace of mind and taken a great deal of weight off our shoulders. Should we wish to rent out the property in future, we will certainly come to you first!”

Zucco is an independent family restaurant located in the north Leeds suburb of Meanwood. Not just your classic Italian, but Italian food with a twist, a menu designed to be shared but not required, the menu is ever changing depending on availability and seasonality with a range of pizzette, fresh seafood, pasta, meat and vegetable dishes with roots from the south of Italy but influenced by cuisine from across the whole of the boot.
Zucco offers an informal but classy restaurant experience, focusing on using the best Italian products and those local to the area, with just as much effort put into providing top class service as the food we create. On an evening the restaurant is always busy and lively with a great atmosphere so we recommend booking, weekday lunch times tend to be more relaxed so feel free to pop in.

Charles was referred to me through another Which Trusted Trader. He popped around straight away to check the water leak and do an initial diagnosis. We agreed a start date and Charles arrived and did all the investigations, cutting through the ceiling to access underneath the shower unit. The leak turned out to come from two places and required Charles to do a couple of visits, repairs and tests to fully resolve. Then the job was finished off with a lovely replastered ceiling. Really good communication, very thoughtful, and pleasant to work with. A true professional.
Which? Review - South Yorkshire
I found Charles on a website, got two quotes one for him and one from another builder for the job I wanted, even though Charles was a bit more expensive he sounded like a good bloke and gave me good feeling that he was capable of doing a good job, I struck gold with him. He first did a kitchen installation and a months later he did the complete bathroom. He and his apprentice were always on time and were very friendly. Cleaned up every day before the left. Would recommend him!

Hamnett Wealth Celebrating 35th Anniversary!
It has been 35 years since Peter Hamnett set up shop and started helping the people of Sheffield with their financial planning needs - how quickly time has flown!
This has been an important milestone in our journey, so the Hamnett Team recently took advantage of the lovely autumnal weather and beautiful scenery at Whirlowbrook Hall to celebrate and take a few photos to commemorate the date.
This year has also been important to us as we have continued to expand the business by welcoming a new member of the team (Anna) as we look to grow and improve our financial planning services to all of you.
After many weeks of scary headlines, there must be many of you have questions that have come about from the recent Autumn Budget and the changes announced by the new Labour government.
As always, we are here to help you sort through the noise and the
misinformation to let you know how the big picture affects your bottom line, and if you feel that a discussion about your finances might be worthwhile, please give us a call or stop by at our Totley office.
Christmas Opening Hours
I’m sure you might agree but we’re all due for a bit of rest and relaxation over the holiday period so we will be closed from Christmas Eve (Tuesday 24th December) and will be back and raring to go from Thursday 2nd January 2025.
As a reminder, our opening hours remain as follows: Monday – Thursday: 9:30am-5:00pm Friday: 9:30am-4:00pm
If you would like to discuss anything please do not hesitate to contact one of our advisers who would be happy to discuss matters in more detail.
Have a wonderful Christmas and we’ll see you in the New Year!
What’s changing with Inheritance Tax in the 2024 Budget?
I Laura Cowan, head of Graysons private
nheritance tax (IHT) is payable on estates above the nil-rate band (NRB), which is currently £325,000. Anything above this is taxed at 40 per cent. However, if the estate includes property passed to children or grandchildren, there’s an additional residence nil-rate band (RNRB) of £175,000 per person. This means you can leave up to £500,000 IHT-free.
If you’re married or in a civil partnership, you don’t pay IHT on what you inherit from your partner, and you can inherit their NRB and RNRB too. So, together, you can leave £1million to your kids or grandkids without paying any IHT.
In the October 2024 budget, the Government froze NRB and RNRB at current levels until 5 April 2030, but it did make some other
overall IHT rules that could impact your estate planning. Here’s the main changes:
Pension Pot
Changes: The Countdown to 2027
Currently, there is no IHT on unused pension pots left by someone who dies before the
age of 75. However, from 6 April 2027, if the pension pot is inherited by anyone other than a spouse or civil partner, it will be subject to IHT and may also be subject to income tax.
Agricultural & Business Property Relief: Some Big Changes Ahead
If you’re passing down farmland or a family business,
agricultural property relief (APR) at 100 per ent or business property relief (BPR) at 50-100 per cent.
From April 2026, APR and BPR will be capped at £1million. Above that amount, IHT will be payable on 50 per cent of the value, meaning it will be charged at 20 per vent. Also, this £1million cap won’t transfer to your surviving spouse or civil partner, so careful planning is essential.
For trusts set up before 31 October 2024, each trust gets its own £1million allowance. But after this date, new trusts will have to share the £1million relief.
Gifts and the £1million Cap
The “seven-year rule” still stands: if you give away
assets and live for at least seven years after, there’s no IHT to pay. But from 30 October 2024, gifts made into trusts or outright gifts will fall under the new £1million cap for APR and BPR reliefs.
This new cap applies only to agricultural and business assets. Other gifts aren’t affected – but gifting can be a tricky area, so always get advice to ensure your plans are watertight.
AIM Shares & Overseas Transfers: What’s Changing?
From April 2026, the IHT relief for shares in the alternative investment market (AIM) will drop to 50 per cent, effectively raising the IHT rate to 20 per cent. And if you’re considering transferring assets to overseas pension schemes, be aware that the exclusion for transfers to the EEA and Gibraltar has been removed – effective immediately.
Non-Dom Status: The Shift in 2025
From 6 April 2025, the current non-domicile status will be replaced
by a residence-based tax system that will also close the loophole that allowed offshore trusts to shelter assets from IHT. However, those opting into the new
four years of tax-free foreign income and gains while they settle in the UK.
Don’t Panic: Plan Ahead!
Change is inevitable, but it doesn’t mean you’re stuck with a hefty IHT bill. By taking proactive steps and seeking expert advice, you can protect your family’s wealth and ensure your estate is passed down according to your wishes.
If these changes have got you thinking, don’t hesitate to get in touch with our private client experts. We’re here to help you navigate these new rules, make informed decisions, and secure the future for your loved ones.
