26th March 2010 - Facing a rent review?

In the current economic climate a demand for an increased rent can bring a business to its knees. Tenants should seek professional advice from an experienced Chartered Surveyor to ensure their rent is kept to a minimum.

A unique recently built Tudor style town house in historic Ludlow sold within just a few days proving that there are still buyers for the right property at a fair market price.

Local estate agents Nock Deighton report that the Bank of England’s decision to cut rates by 1.5% last week came as a surprise to everyone. “The banks and building societies were wrong footed” according to John Thirlwell, Ludlow’s local mortgage expert. “They didn’t know what to do at first – so they withdrew their products at very short notice. Lenders were pulling most of their deals, especially Trackers, and refused to pass on to existing borrowers the benefit of the rate cut”. The Government soon put pressure on the banks and by early this week many lenders had passed on most, if not all, of the benefit. “This is a major relief for people coming to the end of their 2 or 3 year deal. A few weeks ago they faced serious increases in their monthly payments when they came to remortgage but it may now be possible for many people to obtain a better deal” said John. It is now more important than ever for borrowers to take professional advice to make sure that they get the benefit of this cut in rates.

There is no doom and gloom about the property market in the offices of leading Shropshire Estate Agents Nock Deighton at Ludlow. They have just been awarded the ‘Office of the Year’ trophy for the eighth time since the award was created. At the company’s recent annual dinner Director Robin Nettleton awarded the coveted shield to the office’s manager and company director Helen Moss.

In what has been described as England's most appealing country town, with the highest proportion of historic Listed buildings, here is arguably Ludlow's finest residence.
