First of all, a big thank you to all of those clients (existing and new) who attended the Edgbaston property show in Birmingham between 18th and 20th March. It was nice to see you and we look forward to meeting again in 2005. The contacts that we made are likely to make it a busy few months ahead for us, so those people coming out on viewing visits should make sure that they have an appointment confirmed at least 7-10 days in advance. Special thanks also to Hayley and Marcus for their help on the stand, we look forward to your arrival in France very soon, and a big merci to Robin McEwen, our currency dealer, for the time he also gave up to assist at the show.

This newsletter is unashamedly focussing in the main on properties, with 10 properties across a broad price range featured. We have more photos available for each property, so if they are of real interest, please contact me for more photos.

It goes without saying, that if you are seeking to buy a house anywhere, you want to get the best deal possible. We will help you negotiate the best price on your purchase, but please do then ensure that you capitalise on this, whoever you buy through, by obtaining the best currency deal possible. Our currency dealer, Robin McEwen, will ensure that you get the best rates, and there is the opportunity for £100 cashback. Without exception, our clients comment that he has been able to achieve better rates that they were previously considering. He will make the currency transaction €A$¥.
