MORE LAND DEALS REQUIRED IN GLOUCESTERSHIRE!

We’ve recently acquired brownfield land with development potential at Caernarvon Court in Hatherley, Cheltenham. Caernarvon Court offers important amenity to the local community and has been around for a long time. The site had a history of failed planning applications over the years. Thanks to our talented and dedicated property team, we managed to get a planning permission to build 4 flats within 3 months of acquiring the site (3x 1 beds and 1x 2 bed) with a GDV of £1,000,000 and further potential on site to add more units in phase 2 of this development project.

We’re now looking for similar sites where we can add value by strategic planning. Off market and DTV preferred. Happy to retain agents/ deal sourcers! Please get in touch if you have a suitable opportunity. Thank you.

Dear friends/ colleagues,

I’m pleased to announce that I’ve recently joined the super talented Cobi Michael Ho in his new clothing venture called ARYHA. I’ve known Cobi for over 3 years during which time he was my tennis couch & mentor and through sharing the same drive, vision and enthusiasm, we developed a great relationship during this time. We formed a partnership as our strengths and different skill sets compliment each other well and we both see the huge potential in this new business.

ARYHA is a sustainably conscious fashion brand with an ethos and mission that really resonated with me. We think that our premium fabrics will make the difference in this super competitive marketplace as they are superior to the ones of our competitors. We also want to do our bit to soften the effects that the Climate Crisis and deforestation have on our planet and therefore with each order made placed by our customers, we will plant a tree.

❓ How much notice a landlord needs to give a tenant ❓

Giving notice to end a tenancy

If you’re a new buy-to-let landlord, it’s a good idea to understand the law about when you can – and when you can’t – end a tenancy under UK law.

During lockdown, the government introduced a ban on evictions – aimed at protecting tenants at risk of homelessness as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. While the ban has now ended, changes have been made to the amounts of notice needed to end a tenancy, with further changes possible over the coming months.

If you want your tenant to leave your UK property, it is important to understand the current position when it comes to giving notice to end a tenancy. Read on for our brief guide, but remember to consult the gov.uk website too – so you can keep up-to-date with any further changes in legislation.
