Issue 2, Spring
2011
Spring has sprung!
The snow seems to have stopped (for
now!) and there’s sunshine outside my window, so it definitely seems like
Spring at last! This issue
announces the new SureHome video how-to series
on letting, examines the new Tenancy Deposit
scheme and asks: is it time to fix your mortgage rate before rates start
going up again?
The Tenancy Deposit Scheme
The tenancy deposit scheme
(or TDS) is expected to become law in Scotland in March 2012. The TDS is intended to protect tenants
from unscrupulous landlords or agents wrongfully withholding
deposits.
In essence the scheme means
that tenants will no longer need to go to court if they wish to dispute a
landlord/agent’s decision. Read

Time to fix
your mortgage rate?
The Bank of England this month once
again voted to maintain the base interest rate at 0.5%. On the 5th
March 2011, it was exactly two years that interest rates have been held
at this level. This begs the question: just how much longer will
they be held at this level?
With this in mind, SureHome
is offering our customers a fre.e mortgage
review during the month of April. Remember that this offer can be
used on your residential property too. Call 0141 334 7030 now to
book your fre.e review. Read more »

SureHome lets twice as fast!
We just worked out that SureHome lets property twice as fast as the average (CityLets index 2010)!
Both of our offices are performing at least 50% better than the CityLets average times to let for 2010.
At our Glasgow South branch, SureHome properties are letting on average 28 days
faster. This means that our landlords are nearly one whole month’s
rent better off! Read
