A TAX MISTAKE? YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS!

Graham Doubtfire, Tax Partner at Scrutton Bland highlights a little-known error in the standard tax calculation process

T

he sun is out, Wimbledon is here again and this month we’re talking about…taxes!

Even though we are prepared to admit that taxes are not the most exciting subject to read about, sadly most of us have to pay them. So any opportunity that can reduce your tax bill has to be a good thing – right?

Well, we’re not guaranteeing that we can make your tax bill go away, however there is some evidence that a number of people submitting their tax return electronically through the government’s HMRC (Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs) tax website may have had their tax liability calculated incorrectly. HMRC have themselves admitted that their online tax programmes have not been updated to cope with the flexibilities required to manage recent changes to tax allowances.

What does this mean? Well if you are a person who falls into a group with a certain combination of savings and other income, such as a salary or pension, then you could have been paying too much tax in the financial year which ran from April 2016 to April 2017. HMRC have recognised that there may be some people whose tax calculations are wrong, but have chosen not to correct their software. As all tax software must comply with the HMRC calculator this could mean that other software has the same faults. So a number of people - HMRC says “a very small 1 0 J U LY 2 0 1 7

percentage” but this could possibly be tens of thousands - may be paying tax that is significantly more than their actual liability if claims were made making use of certain tax allowances.

How has this happened? e UK tax system is very complex, and was made even more so when a number of new tax allowances came into use in April 2016. ese were in fact very generous allowances, but because HMRC’s systems only allowed them to be applied in a very inflexible order, there is a chance that some people with a specific mix of dividends and other income have been affected.

Scrutton Bland have already seen this happening in a number of our clients’ tax returns for 2016/17. ankfully our tax team were able to identify this and they applied the clients’ allowances in the most tax-efficient way and saved them this problem.

It is worth remembering that all of our clients benefit from the joined up service that we offer, bringing together the expertise of our tax, insurance, and independent financial planning teams. By holding joint meetings with our in-house team of advisers, we are able to ensure that our clients benefit from the right mix of professional advice to help you maximise your financial assets whilst at the same time minimising your tax liabilities, without the need for lots of time-consuming meetings. n

EXTREMELY POSITIVE INSPECTION AT OAKLANDS SCHOOL

F

ive inspectors from the Independent Schools Inspectorate spent a week at Oaklands School at the start of May scrutinising all aspects of the education provided. e final reports have now been received and Headmistress Sue Belej and Group Managing Principal Matthew Hagger are delighted with the results. is was the first of the Department for Education’s new-style inspections that were introduced in September 2016 to inspect against three areas: 1. e quality of pupils’ personal development 2. e quality of pupils’ academic and other achievements 3. Focussed compliance Under this new framework schools are only given 24 hours’ notice of an inspection, which means that Oaklands was inspected through a snapshot of the school as it normally is by a team of independent and highly experienced professionals without the luxury of having been able to pre-prepare.

Group Managing Principal Matthew Hagger comments, “We’re all very pleased at Oaklands to have received such positive reports, which contain numerous comments that support and acknowledge the many positive achievements we’ve made in recent years as they were judged to be ‘Excellent or ‘Good’ in all areas. With such rigorous criteria for inspections nowadays this is a far higher standard than the national trend and it’s a testament to our hard working staff and lovely children”.

Some of the quotes that are particularly worth noting from the ‘quality’ inspections are as follows: 1 4 J U LY 2 0 1 7

•e quality of the pupils’ personal development is excellent.

•By the time pupils leave the school, they are confident and self-assured, and this is the outcome of the warm, caring relationships that they have with staff at every stage.

•Pupils can articulate clearly what they need to do to progress further in their learning.

•Pupils are well prepared for the next stage of their education.

•Pupils’ social development is excellent. eir behaviour around the school is exemplary.

•e relationships observed between pupils of all ages were extremely positive.

•Pupils have an excellent understanding about the values that underpin life in Britain today.

•Pupils’ attainment in English and mathematics is above average when compared to national data.

•Pupils have good levels of numeracy and they apply their mathematical knowledge effectively across the curriculum.

•Pupils of all ages are keen readers.

•Pupils develop a broad range of skills in many areas of learning as a result of the balanced curriculum and the support and encouragement of their teachers.

•Pupils of all abilities make good progress.

•Pupils’ attitudes to learning are extremely positive. e Focussed Compliance Inspection scrutinises all aspects of the Department for Education’s legal requirements, including the incredibly complex laws relating to the employment of staff, the welfare and safety of pupils and the curriculum and supporting documentation.

Although it is normally difficult to tick every box in this area, the school was pleased for the confirmation that it was fully compliant with the Education Regulations and that no further action is required. n

Oaklands pupils and staff clearly impressed these experienced inspectors.

CARING FOR DOGS U

K Registered Charity Animal SOS Sri Lanka was founded by a local Woodford resident, Kim Cooling.

Kim, a social worker, had visited Sri Lanka as a tourist 20 years before and was left heartbroken by the plight of the streets cats and dogs there. ere are around 3 million strays in Sri Lanka, many are suffering terribly and in need of urgent help and veterinary care. e charity which is run in the UK by unpaid volunteers like Kim, have a beautiful 4 acre free roaming dog sanctuary in southern Sri Lanka which includes 2 veterinary clinics and 2 resident vets. e charity is currently caring for 1100 rescued street dogs and 100 cats too. Many of the cats were rescued and hand reared as orphaned kittens. Critically sick and injured dogs

these strays battle courageously for life and a happier future. e charity also cares for over 100 disabled animals that are mainly injured on the roads and have some paralysis on their hind limbs. Hydro in the Indian ocean and physio get many walking again and others are given mobility carts so they can scoot around with

village to enhance their life chances.

It's a true labour of love and benefits humans and animals alike. e charity is always hand to mouth with funds as they are caring for so many rescues and still taking in desperate cases.

WHO IS BUTLER & STAG? WORDS BY CHRISTINE BAKER, CHRISTEN MEDIA

T

here’s a new estate agent on your block promising a refreshing and innovative look at properties in eydon Bois and across West Essex.

Butler & Stag is already firmly established in East London’s Shoreditch and Bow and in May took up residence at No 4 Forest Drive, eydon Bois keen to bring a whole new look and feel to the local estate agency world.

NEIL LEAHY At last, here is a local estate agent with a community conscious and in just a few short weeks has sponsored the Playground at eydon Association, eydon Bois Primary School and St John Fisher Catholic School in Loughton.

MICHAEL WOOLLEY Bright new signs can be seen around the village and, in no time at all, properties have been flying onto the market. e award winning agency featured in the best newcomer award in a UK wide competition in 2012 and the website is regularly heralded as JULIE TAYLOR tops in the business. Visit www.butlerandstag.uk Driving force behind the new branch is Neil Leahy who lives in the village with his wife and two children who attend the local primary school.

After a few years in the world of finance Neil TYLER DUNKIN

1 8 J U LY 2 0 1 7

found his way into the increasingly diverse world of estate agency learning and loving the varied components of this complex marketplace.

Neil is a sporting Dad who hails from Chingford where his first love was rugby. He enjoyed playing through his teens and twenties until football took over. Now Neil has become a football coach training regularly with his son Frankie, age 9, at Buckhurst Hill Football Club where the company sponsors a team.

Neil and his wife Claire are committed to the village providing regular support at St Mary’s Church. French bulldog Butler completes the family unit with great walks around the local fields and forest that go to make up the fantastic scenery that is eydon Bois.

Neil says “I am a great believer in rolling up your sleeves and getting involved. Living in eydon Bois is a pleasure and now it’s a business too so I can reach out and do more for the village and surrounding areas. I want Butler & Stag to be the ‘go to’ place for everyone thinking of moving or letting because we offer a bespoke service for every single client.”

Best of all, and to celebrate its launch as your new local property agents, Butler & Stag is offering reduced fees as a ‘welcome to the neighbourhood’ gift’ – what better way to say hello. n

A NEW WAY OF LIVING IN LOUGHTON

S

ituated at the edge of Epping Forest, Loughton in Essex forms part of the prestigious ‘Golden Triangle’ with Chigwell and Buckhurst Hill. e combination of having country walks on the doorstep coupled with easy access into central London via the Central line, has made it a popular spot for homebuyers.

Furthermore, thanks to the arrival of a brand new residential development called Landmark, Loughton’s desirability is set to soar. Positioned at the corner of e Broadway, this highly contemporary building stylishly finished with a colour palette of white, cool grey and aluminium, is inspiring a new generation of design-led apartments.

Aptly named, Landmark has been designed to stand out from the crowd and has created a significant focal point in the area. Attention to detail is evident both inside and out and the curved silhouette of the building has formed an architectural gem. Landmark comprises 64 private one- and two-bedroom apartments complemented by new retail space at street level and office space on the seventh floor. e development, by local developer Higgins Homes, is significant in spearheading the exciting redevelopment of the area. ere is a new £14 million shopping centre planned to open in September in the Epping Forest Shopping Park in Langston Road along with new road infrastructure.

“Just moments from the apartments at Landmark, residents can enjoy the best of city living,” explains Jeremy Marcus, Sales & Marketing Director at Higgins Homes. “Although there is already a good selection of independent shops, family grocers and bakeries, the area is soon to be welcoming even more making this part of Loughton extra appealing to buyers.”

With the start of the multi-million-pound makeover, the best is yet to come, making the area a potential property hot spot. ere are a wide range of buyers looking to enjoy the city chic appeal of the locale coupled with easy access into

2 0 J U LY 2 0 1 7

central London from Debden station, which is just moments from Landmark.

“Landmark is within half an hour of central London making it a good choice for city professionals,” adds Jeremy Marcus. “However, residents can easily switch off and get away from the hustle and bustle of city life with the beautiful English countryside just moments away. Take a walk through Epping Forest, get even closer to nature at Debden House’s deer sanctuary or enjoy a spot of golf in one of the many well-regarded local clubs and courses.”

To compliment the changing face of Loughton, Landmark has been designed with a style-conscious buyer in mind. Many of the apartments offer uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside and London’s iconic skyline in the distance. e chosen materials give the building a striking contemporary design but complement the existing properties to create a seamless blend between old and new.

Inside, the apartments have been designed with a contemporary attitude to work for the way modern buyers want to live. Well-considered space, open-plan design and high end finishes help to create a home that works for a range of lifestyles.

Landmark’s apartments are all about the finer details to make a big impact for buyers. Home entertaining is made easy with the stylish open-plan, glossy kitchens with the latest sleek Smeg appliances. After a long day, switch off in the contemporary bathrooms and en-suites that feature high-end finishes with indulgent touches and a sense of serene space to retreat and unwind.

Every detail throughout has been carefully considered, from the flooring through to the lighting, the homes make a smart and creative statement. “e spaces at Landmark are designed to offer pure enjoyment,” adds Jeremy Marcus. “Whether you want to unwind after a busy day or entertain friends and family, the homes will work to create the life you want to live in Loughton.” n

THE DETA I L S Prices at Landmark start at £399,500 for a two bedroom apartment.

HOT IN BED? KEEPING COOL IN THE SUMMER… WORDS: MICHELLE B. HARRIS

S

ome like it hot – Some prefer cooler temperatures. Allegedly us Brits are never satisfied.

For me personally, 30°C it’s a tad too sultry. So how do you keep cool when the temperature’s scorching and all you want to do is sleep?

1. Wear very light cotton PJs. Although it’s tempting to throw off all covers and lay there as nature intended, the truth is that cotton pyjamas help the skin to breathe.

Alternatively, cover yourself with a 100% cotton sheet.

2. Talking of sheets, apply a light mist of cool water. Obviously don’t soak but a gentle mist can cool down the sheets and therefore make going to bed more comfortable then slipping between sheets which feel like toast.

3. Whilst cooling your sheets, spray mist on your curtains too. Any heat absorbed by them during the day can be cooled down by a light application of cool water.

4. Ice is also wonderful. If you put a bowl of ice in front of your fan, it will cool the room as it melts. Plus if during the night you’re still struggling, put some ice into a cotton sock and then place against your forehead, feet, temples, wrists and ankles.

5. Sleeping in the hot weather is not easy. Another hot body next to you probably won’t help either. So hot in bed doesn’t necessarily mean there needs to be another person!

6. Most of us have a television in our rooms and other electrical appliances. Plugs generate a lot of heat. If possible, turn off all electrical points. Every little bit helps.

7. Keeping blinds and curtains closed is a recommendation too.

Hope you enjoy the summer months but are able to remain comfortable at night.

8. If it’s too hot upstairs (heat rises) perhaps sleep downstairs.

9. Keep plenty of water next to your bed so if you wake up thirsty – you have readily available water to help hydrate. Perhaps some cooled water in an ice box may help too.

10. A nice cool shower before going to bed... n

PICTURE THAT! ART CLASSES FOR BEGINNERS & IMPROVERS New classes starting September WORDS BY CHRISTINE BAKER, CHRISTEN MEDIA

I

f a picture tells a thousand words, then for these two unassuming art students their pictures sum up their journey from their very first steps when they booked in for new part-time art classes for adults to the latest exhibition held last month.

Sandra Joseph, aged 65, from Chingford is amazed at what she has produced since starting the course three years ago. She said “When I attended Capel Manor as a mature student doing garden design I was inspired by a teacher there but I didn’t understand colour or technique.

“Starting the beginners course and the teaching of Adelaine and Jim have been the best lessons. e atmosphere is friendly and it’s also precious time for me” said the busy Mum of three.

Sandra created her buffalo after being inspired by a trip to the Native American Heritage Museum in Kansas.

Doreen Fall, aged 75 from Buckhurst Hill was quite artistic when she left school but never took it seriously. It was Doreen’s son and daughter-in-law who got her going by buying the art course as a present three years ago.

Doreen painted the pink lady because she liked the look of it. She said “I love women in dresses and I am very pleased with what I have created. I think Adelaine and Jim have teased it out of me and made me believe in myself. I love coming here. e group is fun and we have a laugh. e time goes by quickly and at the end of it you have done something creative and something for the art exhibition for all to see. Yes, I like that.” n

OUR WONDERFUL CRUISE ONBOARD THE SEABOURN ENCORE

By Sharon & Melvyn Goldstein, Managing Director, Atlantis Travel We were so excited to join the Seabourn Encore in Rome and she did not disappoint, a truly elegant ship oozing with class.

Our stateroom was beautifully decorated surprisingly roomy with a walk in closet, and we were greeted by our stewardess with a glass of champagne..... oh yes I thought, we are going to be thoroughly spoilt!!!

Lunch by the pool was excellent sea bream was the catch of the day, which I have to say was very delicious. The staff were attentive and we felt very special. We went for a look around Seabourn Square, an area where the concierge can answer all your questions or sit at the cafe and sample the coffee of your choice together with a pastry and maybe have an ice cream and catch up on the daily news.

The Grill by Thomas Keller is a must and definitely the place to be seen. The cocktail bar was buzzy with an amazing atmosphere and the cocktails were genuinely the best we have ever had, an espresso martini to die for!!! The food was served by the chef carved at the table, a really lovely touch. If the wine is important the selection of premium wines was endless.

We had a wonderful time visiting beautiful ports of call, but I have to say the most amazing afternoon for me was the champagne and caviar sail away party from stunning Portifino. Quality champagne and caviar are available 24/7 throughout your cruise.The sun was shining and as we gently sailed out of Port, four talented opera singers sung the most stunning songs and I looked around the deck and everyone was mesmerised, it was just magical. It was something that will stay with me for a very long time and I will never forget.

Thank you to the Seabourn team it was the simply the best.

Talking about the event, 2016 Rio Olympic Gold Medallist Nick Skelton said: “The Global Champions Tour is absolutely world class and stages top level events at fabulous locations in major cities worldwide. As a British rider I feel it is extremely important that London is on the calendar of a sporting event of this calibre and the Royal Hospital Chelsea would be an inspiring and important location at which to celebrate the success of British show jumping riders and for the “grassroots” of our sport and the many riders around the country.”

2012 Olympic Gold Medallist Scott Brash agreed: “The GCT is truly global and has done so much for our sport - I’m proud London is on the calendar again alongside the other iconic and unique destinations around the world. Having a UK leg of the Championship will be very positive for our country’s show jumping, and will hopefully inspire new generations, continuing our 2012, and Nick’s 2016, Olympic legacy. I can’t wait to compete there next summer; it’s going to be a very special event.”

The driver, Walter Walter Arnold, was traavvelling 8mph in a 2mph zone and his car wasn’t preceded by a man on foot carrying a red flag – a legal flag leg requirement at the time. A policeman gave a chase on his bicycle and fined Arnold for his recklessness.

From 1922 is a Bentley 3 Litre, which was the first to ever race at the Le Mans 24 Hours race, kickstarting a run of wins for Bentley in 1924 and again in 1927 to 1930. Then there’s the Porsche

THE BEST DENTAL TECHNOLOGY

A

t Smile Design By Ash, we have created one of the most technologically advanced dental practices possible. A lot of thought, effort and energy has gone in to achieving this for one simple reason – that any patient treated by us will have comfortable, high quality dentistry that will be long lasting. Some of the key items of equipment we use to benefit our patients are: -

CT SCANNER & DIGITAL X-RAYS We have installed a superior large digital X-ray machine with a built in CT Scanner. A large X-ray is very useful in assessing the dental condition when you first visit us.

A dental CT Scan image is used to accurately measure the bone dimensions when planning implant placement (for the treatment of missing teeth). is technology allows the dentist to safely and accurately place implants.

T SCAN – PRECISE BITE ADJUSTMENTS Your bite can be analyzed by advanced computer diagnostic equipment called T Scan. is gives us a precise understanding of how your teeth glide over each other and also if you have a harmful bite pattern. T Scan ensures you have comfortable, long lasting restorations, and can help treat people suffering from headaches and bite related problems.

Comfortable, high quality dentistry...

LASERS We are proud to be one of the very few practices in the country that has two types of laser machines specifically for use in dentistry.

Ash has been on some of the leading laser courses in the world, and is also a laser trainer for dentists in the UK.

THE BEST DENTAL DRILLS e specialist drills we use are from one of the leading manufacturers in the world. e drills offer the latest technology with built in fiber-optic lights. is ensures excellent improved vision for the dentist by increased illumination in dark areas of the mouth, as well as smooth and comfortable drilling. Using our digital wireless headphones you can enjoy music of your choice, ensuring that the drilling noise is no longer a distraction for you! n

TOP TIPS FOR SUMMER With Frances Furlong

T

his month I will focus on tips on how to care for your skin in the next few months where the heat and sun can really change how our skin behaves, how to prevent break outs and sun damage are the two main issues that so many of my clients complain about in the summer.

equals to a smoother, fresher rejuvenated summer skin glow.

Stop volatile skin conditions like Rosacea by using Obaji Rozatrol cream which helps to keep symptoms at bay, decreasing excessive redness, irritation and pimples associated with the condition.

PREVENT BREAKOUTS

TREATMENT OF THE MONTH

Change your sunscreen by looking out for oil free labels, I particularly recommend Heliocare SPF 50 which has a unique oil free dry touch, that feels and smells amazing, you won't want to leave the house without it. It contains UVA and UVB filters and a powerful antioxidant which helps to repair skin.

PEEL AWAY Twice a month I suggest coming to the clinic for a salicylic/glycolic based acid peel. It clears up dulling, dead skin cells, which not only helps even out any discolouration, but also draws excess oil out of the pores and leaves skin less shiny. In addition a good daily cleanser like Inspira med prime cleanser helps to clean the skin deeply, kills bacteria and smooths the skin.

For those needing extra support with blemish control Obaji Te pads are a quick and effective way of doing a mini at home peel, these powerful pads are great on holiday too and are part of my must have skin care products.

HYPERHYDROSIS - Sweating is necessary to control body temperature during times of exercise and in warm/hot surroundings, and is a normal response to a rise in temperature or anxiety.

- Sweating is regulated by the sympathetic nervous system. In about 1% of the population, this system is revved-up and works at a very high level, causing sweating to occur.

- It can occur in many different areas of the body, and the condition is known as Hyperhydrosis, which means 'excessive sweating'.

It affects both sexes equally, and all races.

TRADE IN FOUNDATION I switch to daily moisturiser serum with gradual self-tanner vita liberata is an amazing light weight serum that doesn't clog the pores.

Heliocare also do an SPF 50 colour tint in three shades which acts like a foundation so helps to give coverage, protection and a light formula which does not make your skin oily.

PREVENT PIGMENTATION My two favourite anti pigment tools in the summer is a daily topical vitamin C like Obaji Brightalive or C bright, or Auriga vitamin c serum, used in conjunction with an SPF protector means your are preventing new Pigmentation forming which means less repairing treatments in the Autumn!

MESOTHERAPY GLOW PEELS I have created a bespoke light peel combined with anti ageing, vitamin and antioxidant solutions which are injected into the face, neck and décolletage. e combination of the two 5 0 J U LY 2 0 1 7

- is not a temporary condition. Many people who suffer from it have suffered for many years, often from childhood or sometimes from adolescents.

- Wetness and staining of clothes is a constant worry for those sweating from the under arm area. Loneliness, depression and decreased confidence are all factors to consider also.

Some people will be using specific deodorants and medications from the GP which can help, however muscle relaxing injections can inhibit sweat glands and decrease excessive sweating. n

STRAIGHTENING TEETH WITH INVISALIGN WORDS BY JENNIFER SPENCER

If you feel you may be suitable for Invisalign and want to have straight, white teeth then please call us now on 020 81082469 to BOOK A FREE INITIAL CONSULTATION with our Invisalign expert Dr Luk Athwal.

I

nvisalign is a treatment that is becoming more and more popular. It is a discreet and easy way to straighten your teeth, that fits in with your busy lifestyle.

Invisalign can really change your life, just like our patient Kathleen. Kathleen age 27, working as a shop floor assistant in Selfridges, wanted a discreet and quicker option to straighten her teeth. She was nervous about starting the treatment, but soon adapted after just a few weeks.

“I was apprehensive about the treatment at first, but was made to feel comfortable. My dentist Luk was really reassuring and supportive at every visit.” As Kathleen is working with members of the public each day and having to frequently communicate, her speech and appearance was important to her throughout

her treatment. “No one even knew I was straightening my teeth, which was great for me personally. I had a slight lisp at first, but my speech was normal after a few days; I actually forgot I had them in.”

Smiling is something Kathleen would normally not do, with her hand often covering her mouth. After a series of Invisalign clear braces within just one year, Kathleen is now able to smile confidently. “Invisalign has given me inner confidence, it’s great!” Not only does Kathleen have an amazing end result, it is a massive confidence boost. A goal of Kathleen’s is to progress into an acting career in the near future, which is dependent on her overall appearance. She can now approach this with full satisfaction that her teeth will not hold her back! n

Award winner Frances Furlong Rgn Bsc hons Inp. offers a wide range of treatments for Men and Women

Plexr is a cordless hand operated micro-surgical device that transfers concentrated heat to the treated skin tissue. It uses the difference in voltage between the device and the patients skin, generating a small electrical arc, similar to lightening. Plexr ionises the existing gases in the gap atmosphere (that would be the space between the needle tip and the patient’s skin) producing plasma. The small lightening sublimates the fluids contained in the superficial part of the skin, without unwanted heat transmission to the adjacent tissues. Additionally it acts on the superficial layer of the skin preserving the lower layers, which reduces drastically any potential permanent skin damage that could be caused by the misuse of conventional lasers.

“

Following the results of my initial Plexr treatment to my under eye area I was delighted at 6 weeks with my results, however the most astonishing thing was when Frances reviewed me at 12 weeks. Following a specific skin care program of firm and lift serum and face sculpture cream to strengthen the surrounding areas of my face, I couldn't believe how much it improved further, as you can see from my photos I not only look fresher, I'm enjoying the compliments from others on how well I look!

”

Thanks to Frances Furlong of Perfect Skin for your support and advice throughout my treatment journey.

think about what helps youu unwind. If you’re a gym bunnyy,, then wh why not installll a space for your y very own home gym? If the ch hildren love to play in the pool, include a seating areaa for the adults to relax.

Or, even better, consider a bar area where you can perfect your cocktail skills.

Another great addition is a sauna or steam room.

These add a spot of luxury and are perfect for an adult spa day at home.

Many large families also o opt for a built-in changing room. Retreat to o the pool house for the day with friends and family, y, and be confident there is room for everyone.

ur client based in Chigwell required a complete refurbishment of their existing main en- suite bathroom.

ey wanted a comtempary feel to the room, storage & a good shower area were top of the list.

Our client required Bathworks to supply all goods and to arrange a complete installation. ey came to our studio for a meeting looking at the various options for layout and possible goods. e room was drawn up by ourselves in a 3D format, giving our client a better idea of how the area would look. e installer also called over to the property, this gave him a better feel for the layout and

possible plumbing restrictions.

Within the shower area, we created two recess areas. Our client could use these for storage of shampoos, conditioners etc.

Products supplied from Bathworks included, Duravit ceramics, Ambiance Bain furniture, Zehnder radiator, Hansgrohe and 10mm frameless glass from Showerlab. Being official suppliers of these products we were able to get the products quickly and at the right price. e room was finished using tiles from Waxmans ceramics, this included a feature wall in the shower area. e final result, a fabulous new bathroom.

PRO PERTY L IF E

FIVE YEARS AGO AND WITH OVER A DECADE OF INDUSTRY

F

ive years ago and with over a decade of industry experience behind him Richard Morris created R L Morris to what he believes will soon be a leading local independent agency. eir new impressive office has been sympathetically refurbished with great care and attention to detail, ensuring the design is not only in keeping with its Listed Grade II heritage but also to give their clients an insight into the quality of service they aim to provide.

Richard explains, ‘’When the opportunity arose to take the short journey to the shop front below our previous office it seemed the natural progression for the company.

Since being formed in 2012 we have steadily grown our portfolio and enhanced our reputation as a professional, experienced and approachable agent who cares a great deal about the service a client receives.

In a market where there is much competition, be it high street or online I believe the core values of communication, trust and transparency are what makes the difference and that people buy 7 8 J U LY 2 0 1 7

people. e process may be the same but the circumstances surrounding each transaction never are, and this is where agents differ. Firstly understanding the process is key, enabling clients grasp the sometimes complex situations that can arise throughout a sale or letting is vital.

Following on from this, communication is also a key component and an area in which we excel.

We ensure all parties are kept up to date and will assist where necessary to ensure clients are confident that they are in good hands’’.

Asides from this most attractive shop front the attention to detail is apparent as soon as you walk through the door, from the hand painted gold leaf signage to the newly installed period panelled walls. is does certainly not feel like your average high street agent, which is a most refreshing experience.

Richard tells us “ Being prominently located first impressions are everything. We aim to replicate the attention to detail and effort that has gone into our new 0office in the services we offer”. n
