Latest news from Baker Pearce
Now is the time to invest in property
Baker Pearce have been asked to sell a number of residential flats which are currently let on Assured Shorthold Tenancies. With the Base Rate being so low, money invested in savings accounts yield such a poor return. However, property still represent one of the best all round investments. Rental yields can be achieved from 5% and above. With established Tenants already in occupation with an exemplary track record of payment, there is an excellent opportunity to purchase a ready made “buy to let” investment.
Baker Pearce are offering for sale the following flats:-
43 Highmead at £214,950
28 Jasmine Gardens at £199,950
15 Rabournmead Drive at £112,000.
Rents continue to rise and, with a hopeful uplift in property values over the next 5 years, now may be considered to be an excellent time to purchase residential investment property.

Newton Farm's Festive Fair

Shilip Kumar advises us :-
"The event was greatly enjoyed by all the kids – all of them loved meeting Santa and receiving a special present from the Grotto. All stalls like lucky dip, pin the pony, art and crafts and chocolate in a stocking were a great success. As the fair was straight after school food stalls selling cakes, sandwiches and hot chocolate were sold out!! "

Residential Letting goes from strength to strength Baker Pearce have recently completed one of their busiest months for arranging new tenancies in its 22 years history. The media are correct in reporting an enormous increase in the number of tenants looking to rent, and the rents we are achieving are rising.

The property was successfully let within a week and occupied by the ideal Tenants 10 days later. The demand for property continues to outstrip the supply of residential accommodation.

"The school fair was a great success and all the parents, children and the teachers had a great time. We were lucky that the weather held up as the weather forecasts had predicated rain for the day. The turnout to the fair was very good 400 people ( including adults, children and infants ) came and enjoyed themselves. As usual we had the classic popular stalls like Tombola, Hoop-A-Duck, Raffle Prize Draw, Pin-The-Tail-on-the-Donkey, Popcorn, Candy Floss, Pick-A-Lolly, Face Painting, Henna Tattoos, Kids Tattoos, Beat the Goalie were put up. Along with these we had some new attractions like Assault Course, Bouncy Castle, Tea Cup Ride, The Bead Shop, The Balloon Man, Lucky Dip, The Plant Stall, Paint-A-Plate, How Many Sweets were also enjoyed by all. The food stalls at the fair were a big hit all the food was sold out!
