B u y i n g a n e w b u i l d p ro p e r t y Whether you are purchasing a new build property as a first time buyer with the help of a Help to Buy ISA or on a shared ownership basis, being a home owner can come with a unique set of challenges.

Our specialist new build team provide expert advice and guidance on these challenges and help make your home move as stress-free as possible.

Short timescales New build transactions often involve short deadlines. It’s common practice for developers to expect an exchange of contracts to take place within 28 days of your solicitors receiving the draft contract paperwork. We are experienced in working to tight timescales and can get you to where you want to be in the timescale you require!

Buying off plan Buyers will often purchase a new build house from a developer’s plans; with only the show-home as an approximation of what their property will look like.

Our solicitors specialise in off-plan contracts and have extensive experience in ensuring that the

individual needs of each client in these types of purchases are catered for.

Communication We do our utmost to keep our clients fully informed of developments as they happen. One of the main benefits to our clients is that we have developed excellent relationships with the key contacts within the new build process including solicitors, developers, IFAs and estate agents. This also helps to avoid any delays in the process.

Fixed fees Open and transparent fees are fixed at the outset, and give you the reassurance that you will not receive any unexpected bills.

For more information on new build services we can help you with, contact our New Build Team on 01295 204000 or email newbuild@se-law.co.uk

The first Monday in May is a date that’s steeped in tradition. May Day, as it’s known, is not just a countrywide Bank Holiday, but has its roots as a day of celebration in ancient times, as an end to the cold austerity of winter and a start to the new season of growth.

Festivities at the start of May are thought to date back as far as the Roman occupation of Britain, when soldiers brought their customary celebrations of the Floralia – a week of dancing and feasting to please their goddess Flora – at the end of April and into the start of May. Flora was goddess of flowers and blossom, and so keeping her happy was thought to help bring a good fruit harvest. During Floralia, temples were decorated with bright flowers and there was dancing around blossoming trees decorated Project10_Pat Thomson 22/12/2017 11:59 Page 1

with ribbons.

There are many current May Day celebrations which are very similar to those seen in Roman times, with dancing around a Maypole, Morris dancing and Floral Dances in many areas.

Well Dressing is another lovely custom involving flowers, which starts around May Day. It is a blessing and chance to give thanks for natural water sources, which dates back to Celtic times and survived in just a few small Peak District villages. This lovely celebration has increased in popularity of late, and is a great way for communities to come together to create something beautiful from completely natural materials. A large wooden frame is filled with damp clay, into which a picture is pricked out and the wcolours and textures are created with flower petals, moss, seeds and other naturally beautiful materials. Once completed, this is placed by a well or natural spring and a ceremony gives thanks for the water.

So whatever your plans for the Bank Holiday, enjoy the wonderful flowers and delights of nature this May Day – and let’s hope for some wonderful sunshine to go with it!

The season of Hawthorn and cow parsley is upon us. May is the month that up and down the country, roadsides and hedgerows are transformed into a frothy idyll.

Some garden(er)s struggle with May, as it is between the spring bulbs but before the perennials get going. Personally, I don’t agree with that; Camassias and Alliums (see pics!) extend the bulbs and Lapins cherry, Aquilegia, Geums, Iris

and hardy Geraniums are just hitting their stride by the end of the month. Above there are the blossoms of apples, Cercis, Laburnum, Wisteria, Exochorda... there really is a lot going on.

So many jobs to be getting on with too.

Article written by Michelle Hiscutt Cutting back late flowering perennials such as Asters, Penstemons, Sedums, Phlox by one third in height will save you staking and give you more flowers on stockier plants, albeit a few weeks later. This is known as the ‘Chelsea chop’ as it’s traditionally done at the same time as Chelsea Flower show. As we have enjoyed an earlier spring, I will be chopping a little earlier than that.

But if you want to emulate nature at its best, get yourself a Crataegus xlavallei.

A May flowering hawthorn, it drops it’s leaves late, has larger haws than those in the hedges and isn’t too unruly or spiny, so is a lovely garden tree. Combined with Anthriscus

Ravenswing (sumptuous purple leaved cow parsley) and some Geranium Brookside and you will have a garden every bit as lovely and good for wildlife as the lanes around

Brackley Town Football Club... w w w.b rac k le y to wn fc .c om

It has been another remarkable season at St James Park for National League North side Brackley Town.

After last season’s magnificent achievement of reaching a Wembley final and beating favourites Bromley to win the FA Trophy as well as reaching the play-off final losing out to Harrogate Town, Saints have again enjoyed a successful season. Bowing out of the FA Trophy only at the quarter-final stage against National League leaders Leyton Orient in a closely fought game, Kevin Wilkin’s team achieved a play-off spot and enters the play-off games with nobody to fear.

After a dip in November and December, the team’s form in 2019

has been terrific including a run of eleven wins in twelve matches.

Climbing from tenth place at Christmas into the top three was a remarkable achievement.

Attendances at home games rose for the third season running averaging over 600 for the first time. The division hosts lots of big clubs, many with former league status. Over half the teams in the division average over one thousand for home attendances including Stockport County at around the three thousand mark! So football at this level is a huge challenge for a club from a small Northamptonshire town of just 15,000 people. The team won the Senior Cup beating AFC Rushden & Diamonds at The Cobblers’ Sixfields Stadium

and are again the second ranked team in the county behind only Northampton Town.

What the play-off matches bring lies ahead. If you can, get along to support your local team. You can find everything you need to know about forthcoming fixtures on the club website.
