Lynette Welsh who manages Amber Estates & Finance located on Lord Street, Fleetwood in the old Gazette office gives us an insight into the property & mortgage market since lockdown started to ease.
T
he property market has kickstarted with a boom - Its certainly an extremely busy time, we have been inundated with new buyer registrations & requests for viewings. Demand is high at the moment, particularly for 3 bedroom family homes in the town, with each new property listed attracting strong interest, we are securing new buyers promptly, with the majority of properties securing the full asking price. We’re certainly not seeing any affect on property prices in this area at the moment due to Covid-19!’
When the Government announced back in June that the property market could recommence activity they advised that, to try and limit exposure to vendors & viewers alike, we have to ensure that only serious purchasers are viewing properties, so we have to make sure that prospective buyers are in a position to proceed, this means that that they have their finances in place, ie they have a Mortgage Agreement in Principle from a lender or have the means available to proceed. Here at Amber Estates & Finance, we have our very own, in house, experienced Mortgage Advisors who can obtain the Agreement in
8
Principle for you and guide you through the process of buying a home, searching thousands of mortgage deals to find the best one for your circumstances and make the whole process stress free and straight forward.
We understand the everyone’s circumstances are different and we not only offer mortgages from across the whole market, we also have exclusive deals available to us from High Street Lenders and also specialist Lenders not available on the High Street. It’s worth remembering that your own bank can only offer the mortgage products that they have available, which most often, is not the best mortgage deal on the market and in addition, every lender has their own set of criteria and that’s our job to make sure your mortgage is placed with the best lender for your circumstances.
For our vendors, we offer a most valuable cost of moving analysis, which is a complimentary service and is of great benefit as it ensures you are in a position to proceed with your next move as soon as you have an offer on your property. Due to Covid-19 we have seen some changes in the mortgage market, particularly at the high loan to value end of the market with 95% deals being withdrawn and very limited access to 90% deals, however this is changing on a weekly basis and we are slowly seeing a return of 90% deals, plus there are still options available for clients with little or no deposit, for example, Barclays offer a ‘Family Springboard Mortgage’ which enables people to borrow 100% of a property value, providing a family or friend deposits 10% of the property purchase price into a savings account with Barclays. With interest rates at record lows, there are some fantastic, low, fixed rates available, so if your existing mortgage deal is coming to an end or you are looking to purchase a property, just get in touch and let us make sure you obtain the best deal possible.
For free mortgage advice or if you are thinking of selling your property and would like a free valuation, please just get in touch on 01253 770777

Open 4th August - 28th November in 2020, Tuesday - Saturday 10.30am - 4pm Please see our website for more details www.fleetwoodmuseum.co.uk or ring 01253876621 Our new exhibition for 2020 is Take A Deep Breath: The Story of Fisherman’s Friend - exploring the fascinating story of the world famous lozenge made in Fleetwood - Fisherman’s Friend. The exhibition, sponsored by Lofthouse of Fleetwood, features the only bottle of James Lofthouse’s original linctus still in existence! Fleetwood’s last Arctic trawler, Jacinta, a floating museum in the port since 1995, is having to be scrapped due to weaknesses in the structure of the hull. Many artefacts from the trawler have been donated to Fleetwood Museum by the Jacinta Trust. Some items will be on show in the deep sea gallery for the 2020 season. Our second hand bookshop, next to the Museum, where hundreds of books are priced at only 50p each, will be open on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, 10.30am - 3.30pm, also Wednesday & Friday afternoons 1.15pm - 3.30pm. In order to comply with social distancing requirements, the coffee house and lecture room will not operate for the foreseeable future.

LINK-Mag Local News
O
ne of Blackpool’s most enduring attractions has joined the growing list of tourism businesses signed up the new We’re Good To Go COVID-safe industry standard. Around 300 businesses across the resort have signed up to the VisitEngland standard within a week of its launch including hotels, B&Bs, visitor attractions, restaurants, bars and amusement centres. And now they have been joined by a traditional attraction that has graced the beaches for decades – the famous Blackpool donkeys. After going through the usual inspection regime and the new COVID-safe guidelines, the donkey operators have been given the green light to return to the sands. Karen Richardson, who is fourth generation donkey operator and whose family have had donkeys on Blackpool beach for over 100 years, was one of the first operators in resort to be awarded the We’re Good to Go accreditation, meaning that her donkey rides will be following all necessary health and safety advice to keep her customers safe. Cllr Gillian Campbell, Cabinet Member for Tourism & Culture for Blackpool Council, said: “We are delighted that businesses are continuing to sign up to the industry standard in such numbers to make sure that our residents and visitors are kept safe during their time here in resort.
deep cleaning regimes between guests. Meal services including breakfasts to be pre-booked and timed, and shared facilities only accessible to one family group at a time. Timed tickets introduced for some indoor attractions to reduce the number of visitors in locations at the same time. Introduction of one-way systems, clear floor markings and queue management systems to maintain social distancing measures at all attractions and help to limit contact between both staff and visitors. Encouragement of cashless payments throughout to avoid cross contamination. A full list of the Blackpool businesses signed up the industry standard can be viewed here, with new additions being added daily. VisitBlackpool has also launched an on-line “Know Before You Go” platform giving comprehensive information on the measures introduced across the resort’s tourism industry to protect the public so that visitors can plan ahead of their visit. This can be viewed at visitblackpool.com And don’t forget that Blackpool has a wealth of open spaces to be enjoyed including six miles of golden sands where visitors can kick off their shoes, paddle in the sea and enjoy extensive strolls along the promenade. We also have green spaces aplenty to enjoy especially at Stanley Park, voted the UK’s favourite park in 2019. All we ask of our visitors is to stick to social distancing guidance outdoors and dispose of litter responsibly.
“Every business linked to tourism can sign up to this – as our donkey ride operators have already proved.” To obtain the standard, businesses must show that they have carried out a COVID risk assessment and are adhering to all of the latest Government guidelines and making necessary changes around social distancing, staff training and health and safety. Measures include: Hotels and accommodation providers introducing
