WE ARE OFFICIALLY ‘A’ RATED

Great people to buy your Windows & Conservatories from!

f you’re thinking about brightening up your home with new windows or extending and increasing the value of your property by adding a conservatory, our new guide ‘The Seven Costly and Potentially Disastrous Mistakes People Make When Buying Conservatories and Windows’ will help you ensure you get exactly what you pay for.

Is this what’s on your mind?

After installing 92,500 double glazed units and 3,814 conservatories David says he knows what’s on your mind when you’re considering buying windows and conservatories.

1. You don’t want to be pressured into buying – so we don’t employ those high pressure salespeople that double glazing companies have become infamous for. Instead, our designers will work with you, at your own pace and help you to maximise your budget and have complete peace of mind.

2. You worry about the safety of your money – so we don’t ask for big up front payments. As a long established, financially stable company, we’re not desperate to get our hands on your money.

Window and door designs to capture your imagination

3. You’re concerned about the mess that might be caused – so we employ a ‘tidy up system’ and we clean as we go, window by window, day by day.

4. You don’t want to be let down by missed start or completion dates – so we employ one of the industries top installation managers to manage our ten highly experienced fitting teams, some of whom have now been with us for over thirteen years.

5. And of course you want a fair price – our quotations speak for themselves… see for yourself by phoning for a free quotation or visiting our showroom for a no hassle browse.

Chester Road, WA6...

The road where people move the most

In the last 12 months, 238 families have sold and moved home in Frodsham (WA6).

The question I want to raise is, do people on certain streets in the WA6 postcode move more often than others? Well, the answer might surprise you. I looked at the Land Registry for the all the property sales going back 23 years (to 1995) in the WA6 postcode while also calculating the average value of a property on a particular street/road (to see if there was 50

a correlation between price and moving).

So initially looking at the top 10 streets in the postcode, in terms of pure out and out house sales, Chester Road is the winner with an average of 10.43 house sales per year (since 1995).

And to look at the bigger picture, the table opposite shows the top 25 streets, with the average value of a property on that street. As you can see, there is no correlation between the average value of a property and the number of times a property gets sold on that street.

However, I still felt the information wasn’t telling the whole story. Some roads in Frodsham have many more properties on than others, so I wanted to then compare the average number of properties sold by the actual number of properties on that street, to find out the streets whose owners proportionally moved (or sold more often) than the rest of the locality.

See our website for the next article

(www.cheshirerelocation.co.uk/news, published on 23/11/18). I will answer that question in great depth, and the results should (as they did me) certainly raise an eyebrow. The question is... do you live on one the top 25 Frodsham most saleable streets in Frodsham (WA6)? If you have a property to rent in the area, please contact our friendly staff who will be more than happy to assist you.

Technology tidy up

Spring cleaning might not be very visible on home technology, but it’s still important to do from time to time. If you get rid of things you don’t need from your PC you can make a noticeable difference to your computer’s performance. On a Mac you can do this automatically by choosing About This Mac > Storage, from the Apple menu or in Windows, by searching for Disk Cleanup. Remember too to make backups of anything important, and to do that before you delete anything!

Think about your subscriptions and service charges too. Are you getting the best deal on your broadband or your mobile phone?

Are you subscribing to services you now use infrequently? Many providers rely on us signing up and then forgetting all about them, and you can often save money by switching to a betterpriced rival or by ending the subscription.
