One of Bristols Best - goodbye Gromit!

A fabulous 10 weeks of great Gromits popping up in all things green and brick. They’ve come and given a trail, an adventure a meaning to look around our great city, but sadly now they must go.

Having been a huge success throughout Bristol , with more than 200,000 people picking up a mad and 45,000 people downloading the specialist gromit finder - detect-o-matic Gromit-app raising a fantastic £20,000 for the Bristol Children's Hospital that the Grand Appeal supports.

The city was supported in all of it’s glory , museums and restaurants saw company figures almost double throughout the summer, making the Gromits an even more welcomed as visitors.

All 80 Gromits were designed by a great range of artists and celebrities - making a cracking , exciting and buzz bursting collection. The likes of Zayn Malik from One Direction and Joanna Lumley designed Gromits with poetry in motion and comic superhero themes. To boost ratings even further Buzz Lightyear and Elvis showed up through the eyes of our furry Bristolian friend.

A wonderful group of 630 adventure hungry explorers dedicated time and effort into finding all 80 Gromits, not just in our lovely Bristol but even further afield in Paddington and Cheddar Gorge, whilst over 3,000 met up with more than half of the shiny pups.

The gorgeous group have now been reunited and are receiving some much needed TLC , having ten weeks in the city has been an exhausting journey and one Bristol will remember fondly - only time will tell on how much more money we can raise for the hospital and our children - the collection of loveable Gromits will be auctioned off at the RWA in Clifton on October 3rd.

All we can say is , it’ll be nice to have them home, they’ve certainly been our best friend this summer!

Bristols Best

The best Bristol locations are easily chosen , Bristol has a wonderful selection to chose from , however the top five are firmly placed and have been for some time.

Take a look below to see why.

Clifton

Full to the brim with stunning heritage and architect and green note

s on trees . The modern eclectic  twist is truly inspired with Victorian buildings and Georgian inspiration. The streets are sometimes cobbled and the museums are high and perfectly placed by age old universities  - to which have educated the likes of …

Downend

The family hub - somewhere that’[s affordable for the professional family joe. A classic high street and pretty church , a mezze pub is included and quirky cafes along with the expected post office and travel shop make this a great place to rent or buy - it’s not got the speed of Clifton but then it doesn't have the price tag either.

Bedminster

The new and up and coming cosmopolitan property hotspot. dotted with cool cafes and town folk, this area is full of urban chic and student cool. A great place to rent or buy - find a park and chuck a frisbee - better still grow some veg at home and embrace the home-baked style of Bedminster funk.

Thornbury

A place your mum and dad bought in, once they had earnt enough. Slightly pricey for a slow paced suburb but safe, sound and well respected. Traditional pubs and restaurants, a home from home feel where people know your aunties cats name and when she had kittens. A great warm and cosy place to buy with fabulous schools and memorable firework displays on guy Fawkes night - ooh and a swimming pool in the local playing field - embracing community feel at it’s best.

Horfield

The in-betweeners location , it’s close to the heart of the city , has hotspots of social calendar filling - stretches onto the Gloucester road empire and homes a great leisure centre. People that live here have lived here for years , as have their parents and generations before them. Crime can creep  in being so close to the city scrapers - but be reminded , you can get a quirky Victorian flat for a good price and a short walk from all things exciting. Feel the real Bristol, deep into it’s roots in this part of town.

Bristol is definitely a city to be proud of - go hunting it’s tipped with smart cafes, chic vintage independents and professional business minds, Bristol offers greenery and concrete at it’s best.- a cool combination of all things a city should be.

Thrice- not as nice for Scottish landlord

Landlord Andrew Meehan was ordered to pay his tenants Ross Fraser and Alison Pease  a whopping £3,450 after he failed to secure their £1,150 deposit.

The cash deposit was not returned to the tenant as as it should have been. All deposits are now set to be paid into a specialist fund to protect tenants against this kind of situation. A prevention into deposits being lost or kept back from the rightful recipient  is crucial. Mr Meehan proved that the system can sometimes be abused by landlords and that if this is the case , then there is a hefty price to pay.

This is one of the first cases to be brought to light by tenants, under the new government regulation scheme put in place in 2012 in Scotland.

It is a rule and warning that landlords will be ordered to pay up to three times the deposit owed to their tennant in the instance that they cannot return the original deposit amount upon leave of the rental residence.

The winning tenants - Ross Fraser and Alison Pease, said: "We are delighted with the sheriff's decision in this case.

"We believe it serves as a warning to other landlords about the necessity of complying with the tenancy deposit regulations, which remove the need for tenants to take rogue landlords to court to ensure the fair return of their deposits."

This is a major breakthrough in property law, lets hope it travels from city to city - reassuring landlords and tenants that there are rules and they are there to protect and serve, whatever you position.

L&G set to be come biggest landlord yet

The lord of the land has arrived. Legal & General (L&G) plan is to invest a whopping £15bn into housing , education, energy and transport over the next ten years. Mr Wilson has made a strong point that while house prices rising for house owners today is a very positive move on what has been a struggling property market since 2008, the rise in prices will only hinder the first time buyers of 2013 by making it even harder to reach that all important deposit. 

Nigel Wilson , head of Legal & General has stated to the BBC that there is  “intergenerational injustice” towards young people who simply can’t get jobs due to the recession and ridiculous  height of education fees.

Young people could feel their problems are exacerbated. Planning for more properties is hard and as Mr Wilson says "Planning in the UK is probably as difficult as it gets anywhere in the world,". Houses that are built are instead of a £120,000 house a year now scaled up to a £250,000 a year - a generous portion of which should be rented out to the FTB’s of society. Such an increase in supply will mean building on a green belt land - making it a positive move.

It is an excellent idea that before applauding ourselves when house prices increase, there should a system in place that allows a halt on value growth for a minimum of 3 years , encouraging supply on houses.

L&G have already made their first direct stamp within the housing sector, in March they purchased a 46.5% stake in the house builder Cala. Igniting their thirst for the rental market, as part of a strategy to target socially useful projects i.e. education. transport and energy sectors) to deliver high rates of return to Legal and General making them the next big thing - if not the biggest thing to come through into the land of landlords of since 2008 at the very least.

Get the Bristol Investment Buzz

Bristol is buzzing , with an exuberant night-life and eclectic mixture of arts. It’s pure heritage and the fact that's it’s homed the likes of ‘Banksy’ are just a few keys points of what draws a tenant from near or far.

A commuter city for the likes of London, Cardiff and Cornwall, the bright lights of Bristol are most certainly shining in the buy to let market. The university of Bristol is one of the UK's best , educating the likes of Darren Brown, James Blunt and Sir Jonathan Evans.

The SS Great Britain , Brunel Bridge and @Bristol explore building and University of Bristol  mean that Bristol is one of the few places to encapsulate modern and historic style in one city beat. Home to 13,000 students, the University of Bristol is a redbrick University and highly regarded in the UK. Whether looking to rent to student, business or professional tenants, there are many options to explore for the scoping prospective landlord.

Many people are now looking to rent in the vibrant Harbourside area of the city. Rental prices in On average rent paid for a one bedroom house was £543 per month, whilst the average price for property regardless of size is a collective of £707 per month. Rental prices in Bristol city expensive compared to the rest of the country due to the fact that it covers all niches and nik-pics of the average tenant aged 18-36yrs

The facts are clear, the rental is high but the perks are worth it . The education is rating , the history is still intact, the city is moving in a cosmopolitan and modern way with regards to attitude and architecture. Demand remains and the sight of a ‘to let’ board is rare - especially in the property hotspots of Clifton, Redland and Stokes Croft.

So, when choosing an investment property, one that will stand by you for the years to come - deliver a promising financial return. Move in the direction of the Bristol Property Centre (BPC) and select with people who know property AND the secret streets of the city it’s built in.

Renting in retirement

Did you know that 42% of private renters are retired? Well according to a report by Prudential they are and they pay an average of £423 a month in rent.

The report says that many have sold their own properties in order to release much needed cash. It lists the main reasons for this demographic choosing to rent as:

• A need to pay off debts – 40%
• To increase their retirement savings – 9%
• To pay for separations and divorces – 19%
• Because they can’t afford the cash deposit to buy a home – 35%
• Because they can’t afford to buy a home full stop – 41%
• As a lifestyle choice – 15%
• To financially aid their families

A retirement expert at Prudential, Stan Russell said: “Renting in retirement can make financial sense and accessing property wealth to boost retirement income is a genuine solution for many. Our research shows that many retired renters are perfectly happy with this arrangement.

“However, retirees should be aware of the extra financial burden they could be taking on if they choose to sell up and rent. I would urge everyone in the run up to retirement to speak with a financial adviser to help them plan and save for the income they’ll need to cover their costs when they stop working.”
