The Business end of the Season

As a lifelong Southampton supporter I am of course delighted that they are fighting hard for promotion to The Championship. Also involved in the race for the play off places are the MK Dons. The Dons, under the shrewd leadership of Pete Winkelman have performed wonders for such a new club (they were founded in 2004).

As we approach the business end of the season, whilst my dreams are for Southampton, I will also be following The Dons. They epitomise the hard working, committed and enthusiastic persona that is Milton Keynes.  

Focus on... Repossessions

London House Franchise Owners undertake many instructions to repossess property. Of course, the national number of properties being repossessed is a general reflection on the economy but we find that our numbers remain fairly constant. We are well versed in properties of all types and undertake both residential and commercial repossessions. We arrive on site and after the bailiff has executed his warrant we take over. Working to a detailed report form we make all the arrangements to ensure the property is suitable for our clients needs. From reading the meters, advising the utility companies, changing locks, securing the windows, clearance, repair etc we organise it all to leave the property safe, hygienic, secure and ready for resale.

A Tale of Two Cottages

We were asked to locate an individual and recover a shortfall of £50,000 following repossession and sale of the property by our banking client. Our only starting point was the property sold but following our motto of "Never Assume", we visited the property, "Rose Cottage", one of a pair of semi-detached cottages in rural Oxfordshire and a lady came to the door saying our man was not there, wrong address, he was next door.

Finding this strange we conducted further searches including recent planning applications and there we had our answer.

Once upon a time, he owned the whole house but when his business started to fail he divided it into two and the bank sold only half the security they had - he was still living in the other half!
