<\/a><\/p>\nIt is one of my favourite times of the Year and because I spend my time writing about Tenants and Landlords and our thought provoking conversation filling Industry of ours always provides plenty of topics to write about, I thought it right to go \u2018Off Piste\u2019 for once and wish every Tenant and Landlord and anybody else who stumbles across this Property Franchise Blog a very Happy Christmas and above all a prosperous and fulfilling New Year for 2011.<\/p>\n
New Year new hope.<\/strong><\/p>\n No doubt in the weeks to come, we will again have plenty of \u2018ammunition\u2019 to write about and as always, your comments are welcome, but I feel this year is going to be a good one and we are going to see the stabilisation of the property industry, with sustainable levels of transactions and some relaxation of the availability of mortgages, especially in the Buy to Let market, enabling Landlords to supply what the current Rental market requires, more properties <\/a>to let. After all, market forces\u00a0<\/a>do have a way of finding solutions.<\/p>\n New Topics<\/strong><\/p>\n This will of course bring many new topics to discuss and I will endeavour to continue to supply a point of view and hopefully some helpful ones from within the Industry. I hope that as a professional Agent (there I go with that word again!) a Landlord and a Tenant and as somebody who has been a Franchisee for ten years and is now a Franchisor for nearly the last two have some valued insights and be able to consider all sides to any topic, even if my assumptions and writings cannot always be agreed with!<\/p>\n New roles<\/strong><\/p>\n So to everybody who becomes a Tenant or Landlord in 2011 and indeed to everybody who becomes a letting Agent a hope your experiences are good ones and that you receive good advice, good service and find success in your new roles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Steve Roulstone It is one of my favourite times of the Year and because I spend my time writing about Tenants and Landlords and our thought provoking conversation filling Industry of ours always provides plenty of topics to write about, I thought it right to go \u2018Off Piste\u2019 for once and wish every Tenant …<\/span> Read More →<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[55],"tags":[7,65,67],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.castle-estates.co.uk\/staffordshire\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/445"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.castle-estates.co.uk\/staffordshire\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.castle-estates.co.uk\/staffordshire\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.castle-estates.co.uk\/staffordshire\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.castle-estates.co.uk\/staffordshire\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=445"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blog.castle-estates.co.uk\/staffordshire\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/445\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1809,"href":"https:\/\/blog.castle-estates.co.uk\/staffordshire\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/445\/revisions\/1809"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.castle-estates.co.uk\/staffordshire\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=445"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.castle-estates.co.uk\/staffordshire\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=445"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.castle-estates.co.uk\/staffordshire\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=445"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
