Welcome to this week's edition of The Thistleblower.
This week we've had input from some of our Managers with their market comments, a great insight into the current lettings and residential sales markets.
You'll also see that returning from the Easter break we've hit the ground running, with some unique properties introduced to the market and a selection of Open House events lined up for this coming weekend, including the new apartment complex Providence House, which is also offering added incentives.
If you are currently searching for a home, our Open House selection is likely to have something of interest, and our buyers comment from Fleet Branch Manager, Jon Lacey, will certainly prove useful.

The Help to Buy: Equity Loan is probably the most popular and identifiable Help to Buy solution, where the Government lends you up to 20% of the cost of a brand new home, leaving you with just a 5% deposit and 75% mortgage. House builders will often apply for an allocation of Help to Buy, and whilst not all developers will offer this as an option, we currently have three new build sites that have this available.
