Celebration in Norwich for my nephews graduation - he made it. Several hard years, hated disatations and lots of very unusal art - it is in the eye of the beholder they say so whats unusual to one makes perfect sense to another!!!

Why North Norfolk
Why North Norfolk?
Property is cheaper than other south coast destinations
People are friendly, helpful and unpretentious
Beaches are golden sandy ones stretching for miles or wild and windy with nature reserves and a big norfolk sky
Countryside is quite stunning
Wide variety of restaurants, shopping, attractions and galleries
Magnificent National Trust estates, houses and venues for concerts
Main line trians to coast from Liverpool Street via Norwich
2hours to 2 and 1/2 hours from London
Prices for a studio apartment start at £70,000

Chaos
Having dried up from our rather inconvenient flood early in May finally the office resumes some sense of normality. The new carpets are fitted and look very good indeed and my thanks have to go to the very good fitters and Cromer Carpets for their efficient and helpful service. Its good to work locally if you can.
Its been a very busy day getting the office back to normal, I have decided, although its not new year, to make a resolution to keep my desk tidy and not to collect paperwork that basically should be filed on receipt appropriately either its its rightful place or in the bin!!!
I am not sure if its just me, Steph opposite at Keys seems to be out most of the time in their little car I am assuming on valuations, I need some more properties on the market, pehaps I should follow her to see where she is going and do the 'coporate agent' tout thing!!!
Never had to before but theres always a first for everything!!!!
Mental note to take control and chase those valuations.
Signing off and looking forward to an evening in on my own.
A few new photos attached for you to admire - angles not always seen and views not always considered!.

Another Day
Well here we are a couple of weeks into HIP free selling and its beginning to sink in - old fashioned hot box marketing is back. The excitement of listing a property that you can instantly market (5 minutes to order the EPC) is what I always loved about this job. Calling people, telling them about something new when it is still new to you and not some thing you remember seeing some 5 - 10 days ago.
Its a shame the last goverment got them so wrong, everything about them was not going to work from the start, the whole concept of up front information is a good one, providing buyers with relevant information is a good idea but what they really need is to know if its sound structurally, what work might need doing and how much that might cost, the minute this information was dropped was the minute the death warrent for the whole idea should have been signed. In the meantime, companies were created with millions invested in product development and training to provide them - quite often life savings or redundancy payemnts hoping for a new career - where do these companies go now - those employed in them do they have a job. The whole sorry affair ought to be independently investigated and a proper assessment of why government employees consult with an entire industry then ignore everything they are told from many highly experienced experts with years of knowledge that told them from day one HIP just wont work!!!!
There are gone and I for one am not sorry to see the back of them, I am sorry for all those employees and companies that have to pick up the pieces and move on.
