The upcoming ESTAs highlight the estate agency industry.

March 29, 2010 News No Comments

Award ceremonies are exciting events that look at celebrating and acknowledging the best of the best in certain industries as well as the success of an industry as a whole. Many various industries have their own award ceremonies as competition between firms/agencies/companies is healthy, and the property industry is no exception. Estate agents from around the UK come together every April for the ESTAs – The annual Estate Agent and Letting Agent Awards.

estasThese Awards, which have been running since 2003, is the largest award ceremony for estate agents in the UK. What makes this annual awards ceremony unique is the fact that it does not run the same way as regular awards ceremonies where are winner is chosen based on the decision made by a panel of judges.  The estate agents are judged by people more important than judges – their customers that are situated countrywide. Clients for each estate agency are able to rate the agencies and the agents based on certain criteria such as customer service, management and the all round buying, selling or rental of a property. Any agents can enter. Estate agent Clapham Old Town or Chelsea, location does not matter. The only thing that matters is customer service.

These awards are not only handed out on the day of the award ceremony – which is on the 15th of April in London – they are monitored throughout the year and estate agents can follow their status as customers vote. Organisers of this event encourage estate agents and their agencies to enter as in this particular industry customer service is imperative and one agency can be chosen over another owing to their level of service. The awards focus on customer feedback so entering these awards will not only give an agency an opportunity to be recognised but also let estate agents follow customer trends and see where they are placed in terms of their service and willingness to assist.

The way the competition functions is by means of questionnaires. Estate agents can give out these questionnaires to their clients and then these results will be tallied and considered by the ESTAs organisers. Estate agents as well as letting agents from the UK are all eligible for entering the awards and if you feel that your estate agents and agency’s customer service is the top of the range, then do not hesitate and enter the ESTAs for 2011!

Getting the Most Out of a Home Loan

March 8, 2012

Everyone at some point in their life gets the urge to invest in property and it is indeed the most stable investment one can make. Most people will require a home loan; this can be intimidating and without a doubt expensive. Even the best home loan can go awry if you do not invest properly so it’s important to empower yourself with knowledge on the subject which is why we have some useful tips to lighten the burden.

The first thing to do is compare home loan interest rates offered by different financial aid organisations. Each company will have their own unique features and services that could benefit or hinder your finances both in the long term and the short term. This is where you really need to assess your needs and project for your future. It’s the same difference between going to Chelsea or Paddington estate agents; both may have a different method of operation that you’ll need to completely map out to see them suit your needs. It’s a highly competitive industry so it shouldn’t be too difficult to spot a bargain, but the fine print is where you’ll want to pay special attention. Be sure to enquire about any hidden additional fees on your home loan mortgage to better prepare yourself for nasty surprises. Be sure to understand any additional fees you might spot; what are they for, are they necessary and how to they benefit me should all be questions you ask yourself.

Often you’ll receive a list of terms and conditions on your home loan financing and while it’s tempting to skim through it to save effort and time you could be faced with circumstances that expend even more effort and time in the long run. Read thoroughly and understand fully what the implications are of your company’s terms and conditions; it would be frustrating to finance your Bayswater property for years only to have the carpet pulled from underneath you after an unintentional breach of the terms and conditions. Avoid scammers who prey on people looking for potential home owner loans; houses are an expensive item to be conned out of. Always target home loan financers who have a clean record and documented profiles or testimonies; if they’re genuine enough people will vouch for them. While the home loan is intimidating, with a risky appearance, done well you could be sitting pretty and secure in an investment that will lat generations.
