Planning your house move from start to finish is crucial

Find the perfect buyer for your home The new year often signals a chance to start something new. And now is a great time to market your property and find the perfect buyer for your home – while finding the perfect home for you!

Millions of people access property websites and apps during the new year as they start to dream of making changes to their life.

Previously, it was common practice to see house hunters waiting until the warmer months to buy or sell a property. However, thanks to the internet, house hunters are trawling through properties 24/7; so if you list your home now, you can be guaranteed that it will be shared with a captive audience.

In fact, the darker and colder evenings could work to your advantage when selling your home, as you can use lighting to make the house seem homely and stylish.

Incorporating different light sources, such as table or standing lamps and overhead lights, can improve the mood of the room.

When the weather is cold outside, putting the heating on an hour before the viewing, and making your potential buyers a nice cup of tea will make them feel cosy, happy – and perhaps more inclined to put inan offer.

If you’re looking to buy, then viewing a house in the winter can help you to try out things you wouldn’t be able to in the summer. For example, it may be cold outside but if the house you’re in is nice and warm, it shows reliable insulation and no signs of drafts.

Plan, plan and plan!

During anytime of the year, planning your house move from start to finish is crucial; no more so than the hectic month of January. However, kickstarting your property move in the new year doesn’t have to be difficult – you just need planning!

Set yourself a plan of what you need to do to achieve your big move, and a date you would like to realistically be moved in by. It’s worth remembering that people are busy during January so flexibility, as always, is crucial for speeding up your sale.

Within your plan, it’s also worth outlining your budget, who you need to notify of your change of address, and how you are going to move your belongings from one home to another.

Ensure all remnants of Christmas – from decorations, the tree and unused gifts – are all packed away.

It’s important that the home is as free from clutter as it can be. Having too much clutter around the house may impact the viewer’s vision, harming your chances of selling. And like-wise when you come to view a property – pay particular attention to available storage spaces, so you can be confident that all your belongings will be able to find a home.

Those small house repairs that you said you, “will do sometime after Christmas” can also help to sell your home quicker too. If you were to change the broken lightbulb in the bathroom, touch up any cracks in the wall, repair the leaking pipe, or unclog the drain, then you could find that interest in your home takes a big rise.

The garden Now is the perfect time to give you garden a spring clean too. Pick out any overgrown or dead shrubs and weeds, cut the grass and brush away any dead leaves on the ground. One good idea is to show viewers pictures of the garden in the summer, with the family gathering on the patio, soaking up the sun and enjoying a barbecue!

Once you feel like you are ready to get your house on the market, it’s important that you choose an agent who is the perfect partner for you – who you can rely upon and understand your needs and flexibility.

Which is where we come in!

Take time to read and listen to what people have said about our service – and you can talk to us too about how we can achieve your home’s full potential.

How to care for, and get the best out of your garden Even during winter, your garden still needs your care and attention if it is to be at its best in spring. So, here’s how to keep the love you have for your garden as warm as can be

garden look neater and create more space for your garden life to grow and flourish. Since autumn has just passed us, what better time to clean up all those leaves that have fallen onto your lawn and plants. Get the rake out, gather them all up, and make your garden tidy again.

Weeding, pruning and raking

Sowing fruits and vegetables

Though inevitable, weeds are a gardener’s arch nemeses. Getting them under control can be timeconsuming; but the more you manage them, the easier and quicker it will become to get rid of them. A good tip is using approximately two inches of mulch in your garden. This should not only retain moisture for your plants but will also suffocate weeds and prevent them from growing.

One of the wisest jobs you could undertake at this time of the year is sowing your fruits and vegetables, as the time they will spring into life is just around the corner!

So, with your sowing kit ready, make sure you are prepared for labels, module trays, seed compost, and a couple of markers.It would almost be a crime not be get so prepared for sowing and then not buy tomato seeds, so, if you haven’t already, now’s the time. The best time to plant them is at the end of February.

Your garden needs regular pruning, particularly any fruit trees, overgrown hedges and buds. Trimming the excess growth right down to their base will make your

Winter is the perfect time to plant hedges and bare-rooted trees, because by the time spring comes around, they will really start to grow and develop

‘Early Onward’ are hardy and should be sown at the beginning of the new year. Garlic is another vegetable which should ideally be sown as early as possible in the year, while onions, although it’s traditional to sow them on Boxing Day, can actually be sown anytime in January.

Planting/pruning hedges and flowers Winter is the perfect time to plant hedges and barerooted trees, because by the time spring comes around, they will really start to grow and develop. Lining your garden with hedges may mean the world of difference in terms of enclosed privacy in the warmer months, or it could just mean encasing your garden with a wonderfully attractive border. Pruning various growths in your garden such as Wisteria, Clematis, Cornus, Salix cultivars, Winter Flowering Jasmine and summer sideshoots, will do the world of good for when spring and summer come around. One particularly handy tip is to remove any faded flowers from your winter pansies to stop them from setting seed and encourage a flush of new flowers for the warmer months ahead.

Cover your plants Covering your plants before nightfall arrives each day will mean protection against some of the coldest

temperatures of the entire year. Do so before dusk as if you wait until darkness falls, most of the stored heat in your garden will have dissipated. When covering your plants, try not to leave any openings for the warmth to escape. When dawn breaks and the frost has thawed, remove the covers in good time. Delaying doing this could cause the plant to break dormancy and start actively growing again; which would make it even more susceptible to frost damage. For this job you could use bed sheets or blankets, drop cloths, or even an inverted flower pot or bucket.

Some great plants and flowers to grow this time of the year are: Lilies Allium bulbs

Winter flowering shrubs to add interest to borders Daphnes

Roses (in a sunny position for better colour)

Viburnum x

bodnantense - Wintersweet

Super Bowl LIII - 2019

Super Bowl LIII, the 53rd Super Bowl and the 49th modern-era National Football League championship game, will decide the league champion for the 2018 NFL season. The game is scheduled to be played on February 3, 2019, at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia.

32 teams compete in the NFL Play-Offs across two divisions: The National Football League (NFL) and the National Football Conference (NFC). After the regular football season, the NFL schedule moves into the playoffs, which ultimately lead up to the Super Bowl. In regular-season games, teams compete for the best win-loss records, and those teams with the best records advance to the playoffs. The playoffs, meanwhile, decide who goes on to the Super Bowl.

The NFL schedules all those regular-season games — 256 in a typical season — to separate the good teams from the bad. On every level of sports, people want to declare a champion. In the NFL, a total of 12 teams qualify for what amounts to the road to the Super Bowl.The Super Bowl is the NFL championship game. It pits the winner of the AFC against the champion of the NFC. The game was born out of the merger agreement between the former AFL and the NFL in 1966.Six teams from each conference qualify for the playoffs, with the four division winners qualifying automatically. These winners are joined by two teams called wildcard teams, who qualify based on the win-loss records of the remaining teams in each conference that didn’t finish first in their respective divisions.

The Super Bowls finalists have yet to be decided, however, the early favourites for 2019’s prestigious prize are: Los Angeles Rams after their great start to the season, and last-year’s runner up, New England Patriots, as well as Kansas City Chiefs. The Pittsburgh Steelers have won the most Super Bowls with six championship wins, while the New England Patriots, the Dallas Cowboys and the San Francisco 49ers all have five wins respectively. New England has the most Super Bowl appearances with four from 1990 to 1993.

The Super Bowl has become a massive event in America and over 111 million Americans tuned into 2017’s match between Atlanta Falcons and New England Patriots. The American sport has generated a lot of support across the pond to the UK, with over one million Brits staying up into the early hours to watch the Super Bowl. Many people up and down the country go to Super Bowl parties, which are effectively American-themed parties which show the Super Bowl on a big screen.

The Super Bowl has recently become just as iconic as the game itself, with many legendary artists performing on the pitch at half-time. Last year, the well sought-after slot was filled by American singer Justin Timberlake, while legendary guitarist Slash famously joined Black Eyed Peas on stage in 2011 to perform “Sweet Child O’ Mine” with Fergie.

Wrap up warm this winter!

Last year, the UK experienced snow that seemed to last longer than probably most of us hoped for.

So, this year, make sure you are prepared for the coldest spells that come at this time of year with this season’s fashion finds

So far winter has brought us wind and rain, and with this likely to continue over the coming months, it’s time to ensure that you are getting the warmest – yet fashionable – clothing you can, to help avoid a struggle this winter! Parka coats are going to be popular again this year.

This Parka from H&M comes in six different colours, so you can choose your favourite! The great thing about winter is every colour is coming into the fashion world ready to keep us warm, so colours such as red and yellow work well with our clothing choices. And when it comes to choosing a coat, this season is all about length – the longer the better!

Opting for a long coat will help to keep much of your body nice and warm. Opting for one with a big hood is a great way to help keep the chill out. For extra warmth, get a woolly hat to match your parka to keep you toasty-warm when it’s really cold outside!

Romantic getaways made for two If one of your new year’s resolutions is to explore new places with your partner, look at our guide to suit all budgets. Including romantic European cities, cosy British countryside and the dazzling Northern Lights

Iceland On nearly everyone’s bucket list is a trip to Iceland to see the spectacular Northern Lights! The best time to see the lights is from September to mid-April, as these are the months where there are full dark nights. And the best places to see the Northern Lights are remote cabins, outdoor hot pools and the black sand beaches, all of which can be reached on one of the many Northern Lights tours.

Situated only a few hours drive from Reykjavik, there is plenty of beautiful countryside, valleys and peninsulas.

The Blue Lagoon is one of Iceland’s most famous tourist spots, known for its chalk white water and healing properties.

Venice

“

Venice, also known as ‘The City on Water’ tops the list of romantic places in Italy for its tradition, history and beautiful architecture. Venice’s famous Bridge of Sighs was made popular as a place to kiss in the movie, A Little Romance. In a touching scene, an American girl and a French boy declare their love with a kiss on a gondola ride beneath the Bridge of Sighs.

Recreate that scene for yourself with a gondola ride through the city! It’s worth noting that some gondola rides can take you to the quieter back canals away from the tourist hotspots.

Venice, also known as ‘The City on Water’ tops the list of romantic places in Italy for its tradition, history and beautiful architecture

The famous Rialto Bridge is the oldest bridge across the canal and offers spectacular views of the city. The Grand Canal is one of the most iconic parts of the city and there are plenty of restaurants, coffee shops and restaurants overlooking the canal.

You can also get close to nature – and to your loved one – by spending an evening at the romantic St Mark’s Square in the heart of Venice. Stand close to each other, hold hands and enjoy the beautiful sunset over the city.

The peak of the summer sees gorgeous sunny weather; however, the city does get very busy. The winter sees cooler temperatures and quieter streets to explore – perfect if you want to avoid the hustle and bustle.

Paris

Amsterdam With its romantic canals and cobbled streets, there are so many reasons to take a break to Amsterdam. The magical sight of Amsterdam by night will, all by itself, put you in a romantic mood. The city is famous for its bridges and they are lit up at night to create a truly beautiful sight. Book a night time cruise to really enjoy the city landscape at night.

Mention ‘romantic getaway’ to anyone and straight away they’ll think of Paris!

Also known as the ‘City of Love’, the French capital is romantic for its sights, native language and its popularity as a honeymoon destination. Standing above this historical city is the most romantic of places, the Eiffel Tower.

The city itself boasts cobbled streets, architectural buildings and something beautiful around every corner. Paris can be enjoyed all year round, although Valentine’s weekend is a popular time of year, while the summer averages high temperatures.

The city also makes for a perfect winter getaway.

Cornwall Cotswolds The picturesque area of the Cotswolds is set in SouthCentral England and is steeped in history, charm and beautiful countryside. After a day of picturesque countryside walks, you can enjoy one of the many pubs the area has to offer where you can expect roaring fires, period features and an authentic old-world feel.

The Cotswolds is home to some of the UK’s oldest pubs which offer locally sourced produce.

Visiting the Cotswolds is a relaxing getaway and the area is well known for its star gazing. So, you and your loved one can sit by a fire outside with a glass of wine trying to spot shooting stars. Don’t forget a blanket and a flask of tea in the colder months though!

If you’re looking for an unforgettable romantic break in the UK, then Cornwall is the place for you. Aside from the popular tourist seaside towns and villages, there are plenty of secret, peaceful beaches and coves perfect for a romantic getaway, including Porthcurno and Housel Bay on The Lizard Peninsula. Whether you’re looking for strolling country walks, watching sunsets or a spot of surfing, there are plenty of places of romance.

The seaside town of St. Ives has a gorgeous harbour and plenty of fish and chip shops, whilst Penzance offers sea safaris including wildlife cruises where you have the chance to see dolphins and seals!

RECIPE CORNER

To let: should you furnish your property?

We take a look at what you need to bear in mind when it comes to deciding whether you should furnish the property you are letting!

As a landlord, you need to make the decision as to whether you will furnish the property that you are letting out to tenants. There are plenty of options available to you – including fully or part furnishing, or not furnishing the property at all.

What do we mean by furnished?

This means that you will need to include furniture such as beds, desks and sofas. If you are worried about any damage done to your property by your tenants – accidental or not – you can opt for specific insurance that will cover you for this.

Just as it’s essential that your property is in a satisfactory state of repair for your tenant, it’s also important to ensure that any furnishings provided by you are also up to standard. All furniture that you provide needs to comply with fire safety regulations.

And this is especially true if you decide to buy older or second-hand furniture.

If you choose to buy new furniture, then this will be less of an issue for you as the responsibility falls on the retailer to ensure that it complies with regulations.

However, always check the labels on any pieces you purchase to ensure it’s safe. And remember to keep any receipts for these purchases and leave any safety labels attached so that your tenants have peace of mind.If you fail to comply with safety regulations, you could face a fine or even sent to prison.

Choosing furniture for your let property It’s key to remember that cheap isn’t always cheerful – and you may in fact end up replacing things more often if they’re not built to last. Of course, buying good-quality and durable items doesn’t mean that you have to break the bank either. In fact there are great sites out there, such as freecycle.org, gumtree.

com, plus many others that are great for picking things up for free. Other options to help you save the pennies are auctions. Either go in person or bid for items on auction sites.

Unfurnished

An unfurnished property doesn’t necessarily mean that it is empty. In fact, part furnished properties still have items like carpets, curtains, appliances, light fittings and white goods for the kitchen.If you decide to go down this route, it’s worth buying a few basic items to help attract potential tenants (and it could actually help to increase your monthly rental income too!) Look into providing a bed, bedside units, a sofa and a cooker.

Think about your tenant

If you’re letting out your property and are unsure of whether to offer it furnished or unfurnished, it’s important to think about who your potential tenants are. Families are likely to have much of their own furniture – and this applies to long term tenants too.

However, if you’re targeting the student market instead, they will be attracted to your property if it includes desks and chairs. Bear in mind though, that if you want to appear in any university accommodation lists, you might need to meet their requirements in regards to furnishing.

Top tip:

Avoid making purchases that look nice and are to your taste, rather than being practical and durable. Washable covers on sofas will be a god-send when you have to clean for another tenant!

Just as it’s essential that your property is in a satisfactory state of repair for your tenant, it’s also important to ensure that any furnishings provided by you are also up to standard
