June 2008: contrary to the ‘doom and gloom‘ being reported each month in the housing market, there are pockets of ‘good news’. Hamptons Brighton and Hove has reported excellent sales figures for May with some outstanding individual achievements from the team.
The most impressive result for the month was the sale of a property in Medina Terrace, Hove. The property was only on the market for six weeks before an offer was forthcoming and eight days after the offer was accepted, contracts were exchanged.
This would be considered an excellent result in any market place. All viewers of the property came from London, emphasising now more than ever, that an agent with a strong presence in the capital and a large network of offices filtering buyers through, is essential.
The BrightonMove Property Finder Service is the brainchild of property expert Stig (pronounced “Stee”) Lindorf-Hansen.

If I had my way, my house would be full of brightly coloured Indian and ethnic pieces but my partner prefers neutral, subtle looks.We need to find a compromise – help!Jane Nichols, Patcham
Emma says: Well, one way to get both the looks you love is by allowing you to have your own ways in different rooms! Alternatively why not create rooms you will both be happy in by going for a neutral base with ethnic accents. We stock a beautiful range of embossed silver furniture and accessories which have a beautiful Moroccan feel to them but aren’t over the top. Accessories such as photo frames start from as little as £11.50 and you can pick up items of furniture for just £120. Why not buy online and have them delivered or come and visit one of our stores!
We all have our favourite places to stroll here in beautiful Sussex, be it with or without the company of a four-legged friend. And as for choosing between beac h and Downs, city or woodland – we are so lucky and should all be very proud of our stunning, well kept outdoor options.

It’s obvious that taking your dog for a relaxing walk can be hugely beneficial in terms of your overall health and wellbeing, but dog owners also have a responsibility for the health of their pets and indeed, our local community.
