Performer of the month! Well done to Great Yarmouth Office manager who wins our Performer of the Month award. Jackie has guided the office through a very busy month whilst being a member of staff down for most of it due to a sickness absence. Nominated by (at least and they may be others I have missed) Claire, Chris, Richard, Michael and Tracie. This is what Tracie had to say about Jackie which just about sums it up! I’d like to nominate Jackie in our GY office. She is like the proverbial swan, working like a trojan no matter what changes and, or shortfalls that go on around her! And manages to stay calm and unflustered, always doing it all with a friendly smile and total professionalism. An amazing lady! Thanks for all your hard work Jackie!

Inflation falls to 3.4%. More positive economic news today with inflation falling again. Still above the Bank of England’s target of 2% but way below the double digits we saw a year ago. The UK housing market is already in recovery mode with transaction levels increasing and prices having appeared to have levelled. Let’s hope that the positive inflation news will lead to a welcomed and predicted interest rate cuts through 2024. Two & five year fixed rate mortgages are currently at levels well below the current base rate.

As a tenant why should I bother with contents insurance? There are many reasons why all tenants should have protection in place, unfortunately this often only comes clear when a problem occurs. A classic example of this which we have seen first hand many times over the years. A simple accident of dropping something on a ceramic hob and crack! The surface is broken and a new hob is needed. Replacement with fitting can easily be up to £500. Many tenants believe that accidental damage is covered under the landlord’s insurance, however that is not the case. This is always specified in the tenancy agreement. If you don’t have your own contents insurance, none of your belongings are covered in the event of a flood, fire, burglary or even a leak. That is something most people don’t think about until it is simply too late. Good cover is not expensive and we never want to see our tenants left out of pocket because of something that was out of their own control. We have teamed up with Alan Boswell Insurance, a local Norfolk firm offering award winning tenant focused cover at very competitive rates.
