Good morning folks, it's Micheal with you here. Thanks to all of you who reached out last time with your suggestions on celebrating 10 years. They're ideas which have all been thrown into the hat. Actually, that's not true, as some just weren't suitable/appropriate – great ideas (funny too), but not suitable and certainly well above our budget!
Incidentally, for the record - not that anyone really cares - but our last newsletter had our best ever engagement and open rate. PS. We love hearing from you, so keep sending your emails.
Anyway, let's get on with it...

We spoke to Owen Matchett aka The Agent about single storey living "Value of bungalows and demand have rocketed. Quite simply because of the demand out ways the supply. However when buying a bungalow in the countryside you normally get plenty for your money.". Check out these currently on the market.
