The information that we have obtained reveals cause for concern. In the vast majority of the cases we have seen so far this year, the divorce solicitors should have had the pension valued by a professional such as an actuary or an independent financial advisor, as part of the divorce settlement process, but they did not.

We have just taken an enquiry from a lady in Bolton, who we are confident we will be able to recover over £135,000 for. Another lady in Dorking called us today, and after carrying out some preliminary inquiries, we have already ascertained that her divorce settlement may have been under-valued by more than £60,000.

In my opinion, Camberwell Grove is one of the most attractive streets in the capital. I moved to Camberwell Grove two years ago after completely falling in love with it. The street is lined with beautiful plane trees and the charming Georgian terraces and listed buildings are well cared for.

It is so green and peaceful that it’s often hard to believe that it is located just minutes from central London and although it is such a beloved residential area, property prices have remained relatively affordable, in comparison to other areas north of the river.

More retirees are downsizing their homes in order to free up capital that is currently tied to property, in order to cover rising living expenses. As they tend to purchase smaller homes, we are now seeing an increase in beautiful large family houses on the market at fairly competitive prices.

We recognised that there was a gap in the market for these buyers who were prepared to accept fewer rooms in their new homes, but not smaller rooms or accommodation of lower quality.

Developers are required to have considered a number of factors in order to be eligible for one of these prestigious awards including quality of design, innovation, energy efficiency and value.

This is an extremely attractive and desirable location where demand for housing is falling short of supply. We have worked hard to ensure that these much needed new homes incorporate the existing style and character of the village and that they will be a welcome addition, especially for those who have been waiting for an opportunity to buy something special in a place like this.

NewBuy is a great initiative to help more people enter the property market or move around it.

The Guardian recently reported that just 55.9% of Southwark pupils received a place at their first choice school this year, which is encouraging house hunters to carefully research the areas in which they want to live, even if they do not yet have children.

School catchment zone sizes vary greatly, but in some cases primary school zones only cover residents within 200 to 300 metres of the school gates.

Peckham has really lost it’s “ghetto” reputation and is becoming a family-friendly neighbourhood.

Peckham has changed almost beyond recognition the past few years. There is a thriving farmers’ market, an award-winning library and the growing possibility that Peckham will have a Tube station by 2020.

The Part Exchange Scheme took the stress out of selling our home. Higgins Homes made the process simple, stress free and allowed us to secure our favourite plot at Ludus.

Saffron Walden is one of south East England’s prettiest and unspoilt medieval market towns, which is why Ludus has been so popular with buyers.

When we found out that Higgins Homes were going to start building exactly what we had been looking for and we actually put our deposit down on our new house on the first official date the houses were released onto the market.

Higgins Homes has really addressed peoples’ needs when it comes to the actual build.

While it may initially appear daunting, agents’ preparation does not have to be complicated. Changes can be managed efficiently and effectively if the correct management solution is applied now.

“A good estate agent will make the selling process much more simple and painless than a weaker one. The challenge is how to identify who the better ones are.

“By evaluating a number of agencies, you will soon determine which fits your requirements best and you will hopefully experience a much more successful sale.”

“Your offering needs to provide more for less – that is, less cost to you the business and less cost to the customer.

“While many pet owners may be struggling to find appropriate rented accommodation, there are steps to take that can help them and their pets, secure a long-term tenancy with private landlords or lettings agents.

“Properties in locations such as Lyndhurst Grove, SE15, are still becoming increasingly popular due to their value for money and the development that central London is currently undergoing. The city’s landscape changes every day.

There is an exciting future for web apps ahead and we are keen to work with all estate and lettings agents in the UK, to enhance their client conversion potential. This competition is a great way for agents to get a taste of the brilliant technology that is available to the industry today.

“Statistics show that UK estate agents and letting agents could miss opportunities with half of their potential customer base, simply because they don’t have a mobile web site, or web app.”

“Our ‘onesystem’ technology covers all the key property disciplines including residential sales, lettings, property management, block management, and property auctions. Each component of our offering can be licensed separately and tailored specifically to individual requirements.

“Our products and services are designed to revolutionise estate agency efficiency and productivity, leading the way for property businesses to make the most of these tough economic times.”

“As a hub for Victorian architecture, we feel central to this theme in South East London. In fact, Camberwell Grove, SE5, where we currently have thirteen properties on the market for sale and/or rent, is even mentioned in Charles Dickens’ ‘Sketches of Boz’.*”

“The Wooster & Stock team in Camberwell also has a keen interest in this bicentennial. While we are hopeful for good property sales as a result of the anniversary, it has also been alleged that Dickens once lectured in our office building, which is part of the grand Grove House, also described in Sketches of Boz.”

“I was renting a super sleek pad in Islington and while I loved its location and modern style, I really wanted a place of my own. But to afford to buy, I felt I had to look at least 20 to 30 minutes outside the capital.

“A property of this specification, style and square footage in a comparatively central and trendy part of London, such as Hoxton, costs an average of £564,692 which is almost twice the price of Rickie’s new house.

There is only a small window left open for first-time buyers to take advantage of the stamp duty holiday. With the average property transaction taking about three months, buyers need to seriously consider starting the buying process prior to Christmas, if they are to complete by the March 25th deadline. Next spring might seem like a long way off, but it will come round very quickly.
