Harriet joined the firm as a graduate trainee having left university, since when she has worked throughout the business sectors offered by Henry Adams including lettings, fine art, surveying, commercial, agricultural and land. “I wanted to be involved in a community and property seemed a natural step. I’ve traced my family tree right back to the 1700s and my family ancestors were all builders,” says Harriet. “Fortunately I was offered the role of graduate trainee with Henry Adams,” she adds. “It gave me the opportunity to experience all the different elements of the property services we offer and to get a thorough understanding of the business.” Harriet then elected to specialise in sales, based at Storrington branch. “I like the variety of homes we handle here as it’s such a diverse range of properties. We get a little bit of everything,” says Harriet. “Henry Adams are good at helping people through the whole process we don’t just sell homes.”

Agent reports huge rental boom
Guy Leonard & Co are experiencing a massive demand for rental property in the Horsham, Storrington, Pulborough and surrounding areas with not enough property being available to meet the increasing demand. This is bad news for awaiting tenants as properties are let almost as soon as they come on to the market but excellent news for landlords as the lack of property pushes up the rental price achievable. A two bedroom modern apart-
ment in Horsham that may have let six months ago for £750pcm could now achieve up to £900pcm. says Guy Leonard & Co. If you are considering letting your property or have just had your tenant vacate there is no better time to put it on the market. All types of property are required although two bedroom apartments/houses and larger family properties are particularly in short supply. That said it is still vital to choose
Still opportunities in a tough property market Increased levels of mortgage lending* and greater numbers of higher loan-tovalue mortgage products should make it easier for would-be buyers to secure a loan on a home, according to Fox and Sons in Horsham. Although the mortgage market is still tough, there are opportunities for individuals with good credit histories to finance their move, whether they are buying for the first time or looking to move into their dream home. “Despite media doom and gloom, we are seeing improvement in the mortgage market,” says Gemma Rice, Mortgage Services Consultant for Fox and Sons. “The Council of Mortgage Lenders acknowledges that the volume of home loans is increasing, and earlier this year, we reported figures from leading mortgage information source Mortgage Brain that the number of products available was on the up.
Gemma Rice
Fox & Sons
Indeed, in its June figures Mortgage Brain reported that the number of products had reached its highest point in 18 months*.” Lenders are, however, still exercising caution when it comes to mortgage approvals so buyers should take steps to ensure they have the best chance of matching their criteria. Saving to put down as large a deposit as possible is
important, as is minimising the number of credit searches against you with might damage your credit rating. “We would strongly advise buyers looking for a mortgage to speak to one of our dedicated mortgage advisers who can search online and save buyers having numerous checks against them which might damage their credit rating,” Gemma Rice continues.

From The Met to let Sophie Weston has now been running her property lettings company Weston Lettings for just over a year and is proud to report how successful it has become. Originally from Surrey, Sophie spent 17 years working for the Metropolitan Police, qualifying as an inspector. She policed the diverse and challenging areas of Brixton and Streatham in South London. When the time came to start a family the decision was made to move out of the area and find a quiet spot in the country. Sophie and her husband James decided to settle in the beautiful village of Warnham after falling in love with a charming cottage they spotted in the paper. “When I saw the advert I said to my hus-

As time passed the Westons were blessed with two daughters and Sophie made a decision to take a career break and stay at home to look after the children. Inevitably finances became stretched and they decided to let their property out and rent a smaller more financially manageable property for themselves. It was then that Sophie, disappointed with the service they had received from the Letting Agents, said to her husband, “I can do better than that”. It was then that Weston Lettings was born.
