10,000 items of food campaign

2661 items for Dawsons Food Drive

Last month all of the Dawsons offices became collection points for a special estate agency incentive across the UK, headed by our agency charity Agents Giving and the national Relocation Agent Network. The goal was to collect 10,000 items of food across the UK. The target was reached with the final total being 10,600 items with Dawsons collecting a HUGE 2,661 items! Over a quarter of all items raised came from us.

This annual event is incredibly important because Foodbanks across the UK are being used more than ever before.  During the week, at Dawson’s, we collected for Trussell Trust foodbanks in Swansea and Llanelli.

Dawsons Mortgage Advice Bureau

Mortgage Success story 

Mr W. and Miss S. offered on a property with our Gorseinon branch however, after visiting their bank, they were not able to borrow the amount they needed and therefore their offer was unsuccessful.

Then after accepting advice from Dawsons Gorseinon Matthew Jones, the clients agreed to meet and speak with Dawsons financial advisors – Mortgage Advice Bureau. Upon delving deeper into their financial situation, the advisor was able to identify a lender from an extensive panel which would allow them to borrow in excess of £200,000…..some £100,000 more than their Bank would allow! Our clients then went on to purchase a home via a new build developer, at a much higher price than they ever thought possible… What could we be doing for you?

Wales Airshow 2019 with Dawsons Property

Wales Airshow 2019 with the Dawsons Property Team

On the weekend of the 6th & 7th July the Dawsons Property team of volunteers headed down to Swansea Bay to work at the Wales Airshow for the 2nd year running.

“Tag your Tots” was the theme, and positioned at the entrance, the staff were on hand to get all of the children wristbands with their parent’s emergency contact details secured on their arms, so that, heaven forbid, they wandered off during the excitement – especially with all eye raised up to the sky for the aerobatic entertainment – their parents or guardians could easily be contacted and traced.

On top of this, there was lots of face painting, aeroplane stencils and glitter at the ready, plus selfie frames for photos and lots of advice about the events happening over the 2 days.

As the sun beamed down on Swansea’s beautiful sandy beach, this weekend absolutely covered with spectators, the aviation fans young and old were wowed with the spectacular sights in front of their eyes along the coast.  The Red Arrows performed on both days, with live commentary from Red 10 and from Red 1 in the cockpit as they performed death-defying acrobatics at 700 mph.

On Saturday evening there was an extra treat as long into the evening with the airshow’s first ever ‘After Dark’ event with highlights coming from The Fireflies Aerobatic Display Team, hot air balloons and an impressive fireworks display.

On Sunday there was a spectacular acrobatic display from the Wing Walkers which saw many a spectator with an open-mouthed ‘wow’ going on!

Dawsons Marketing Team sponsors various local events throughout the year and raises money for charity.

Dawsons food drive 2019 for the Trussell Trust

RAN Foodbank 10,000 items to the Trussell Trust

Last week all of the Dawsons offices became collection points for a special estate agency incentive across the UK, headed by our agency charity Agents Giving and the national Relocation Agent Network.

This annual event is incredibly important because Foodbanks across the UK are being used more than ever before.  During the week, at Dawsons, we collected for Trussell Trust foodbanks in Swansea, Llanelli & Lifepointe.

swansea trussell trust foodbank

2661 items for Dawsons Food Drive 2019

The Trussell Trust charity supports a nationwide network of food banks and provides emergency food and support to people locked in poverty, along with campaigning for change to end the need for food banks in the UK.

In the UK, more than 14 million people are living in poverty – including 4.5 million children. The Trussell Trust supports more than 1,200 food bank centres in the UK to provide a minimum of three days’ nutritionally-balanced emergency food to people who have been referred in crisis, as well as supporting people to try and resolve the crises they face.

Between April 2018 and March 2019, food banks in the Trussell Trust network provided a record 1.6 million food supplies to people in crisis, a 19% increase on the previous year.

It takes more than food to end hunger but helping with food donations is a start and that is why this annual campaign is of huge importance to use at Dawsons.

5 Key reasons why landlords prefer to use a high street agency59% of landlord would not use an online agency or consider using an agency without a local office.

June’s Newsletter 2019

Community

For this month’s community news, we wanted to showcase some of the achievements of Dawson’s extended family.

Amanda, of our Gorseinon branch, has written about her family. Her daughter Hollie who is 10 has recently represented Wales on behalf of her club West Street Gymnastics in Gorseinon. She competed in two competitions in Albershausen Germany and Scotland. She obtained a silver medal in Scotland but did not medal in Germany due to tough competition and her placing 10th out of 17. She has only been doing gymnastics for just over 2 years and trains for over 14 hours a week after school and once a month with the Welsh Squad for 6 hours.Amanda from Dawsons Property Daughter competing in gymnastics tournament

Ian, Amanda’s husband, started his journey in 2013 to become a 6 Star Medal Holder running Marathons in Tokyo, Boston, New York, Berlin, Chicago and London. He has raised over £14k for The Kids Cancer charity based on Walter Road Swansea and even though he has fulfilled his dream he continues to raise much-needed funds for the charity. Whilst running in Boston he had the three names of the victims tragically killed in the Boston bombings in 2013, Krystle Campbell, Martin Richards and Lu Lingzi printed on his running vest as a reminder to him why he was running.

Industry News

The hottest topic in the industry news for the last 6 weeks has been the very public fall of one of the biggest worldwide online agents. The stock price has fallen, they have pulled out of several countries and things aren’t looking very good for the agent which, to be fair to them, did hold a decent section of the market for the last 10 years. We wanted to list a few reasons as to why you should choose Dawsons over online agents.

chief executive and founder Michael Bruce stepped down and Purplebricks scaled back its international operations.

  • Paying up front

In most cases, you have to pay online estate agents up front, rather than on completion of your sale. If your property doesn’t sell, you want to switch from the online estate agent or they go out of business (like eMoov did in 2018, and House Network in 2019), then you’ll lose your money.

  • Valuing your home

Even those online agents with “local property experts” often aren’t local enough to know your area and your road well enough to value it accurately.

  • Unusual properties

If your home won’t be easy to sell, you may struggle without the expertise of a local, high street agent such as ourselves.

  • Conducting viewings

Where you opt not to pay extra to have viewings conducted for you, you need to be comfortable showing people around your home.

  • Time commitment

Managing everything yourself can take up more time than if you had a very good high street estate agent dealing with everything for you

  • In house services

Check the fee advertised isn’t conditional on you using the agent’s in-house services, like their recommended mortgage broker or conveyancer. 

3 top tips for choosing the right estate agent

  1. Sometimes the highest price can be quite attractive, however, for some estate agents, this can be used as a trick to win an instruction and there is nothing worse than a property having to drip-drop their price over months.
  2. Choose an agent with a large local presence & proactive staff because it is the team or the team members who ultimately do the work and get the deal done.  The more local the staff, the more they can sell the benefits of the location.
  3. A well-recommended brand and ultimately an agent that will sell your home so ask around for recommendations from local friends or the online community for success stories.

Auction News

 Dawsons Mortgage Advice Bureau

Not all advisors offer the same service

Speaking with an independent financial advisor is often the last steppingstone that buyers take before settling on a mortgage deal that they wish to pursue.

But why stop there? A common misconception is that all independent advisors offer the same service, as well as having access to the same number of lenders and deals.  However, this is just not the case!

Dawsons Mortgage Advice Bureau is part of a leading mortgage network, with access to over 12’000 mortgages from over 90 lenders, can you advisor offer the same? Just by comparing different advisors, you could save hundreds of pounds, making the process of buying a property a little less challenging, and it’s free to out!

Find out how much you could be saving by calling your local Dawsons office today. We can help with first-time buyers, re-mortgages, buy-to-let, help to buy & more.  Click HERE for information on our mortgage advisors.

Dawsons supporting the UK Food Banks in June 2019

Pughy 9s Rugby sponsored by Dawsons

What is The Pughy 9s?

The Pughy 9s started Bank Holiday Weekend 2017 after the untimely death of the popular young player, Tom Pugh. Now in its 3rd year, this touch rugby tournament has continued to grow in popularity, attracting some 20 teams to take part! 

Pughy 9s Rugby sponsored by DawsonsRaising money for charities in Tom’s memory the tournament is well supported by Swansea Uplands RFC (who organise and run it), local people and businesses alike. Dawsons have sponsored a pitch for all 3 years, as well as Killay Office sponsoring a ball at this year’s tournament. 

Killay Branch Manager (and all-around living legend) David ‘Dai’ Parton, who represented the club and played with Tom, has played as part of the “Vets” team for all 3 tournaments. Each year they have managed to progress to the Quarter Finals of the Cup. It was the same again this year at which stage they were knocked out 3-1 against a strong Gower Rangers Team.

Our very own Dai Parton’s WINNING try in the pool matches

A Cup and Shield competition are run after the first rounds of Pool matches. This year Penclawdd came out on top of the Shield and Uplands Youth won the Cup.

Pughy 9s Rugby sponsored by DawsonsAfter the rugby comes to an end, the clubhouse is packed with all players and supporters. Some tales of the day at the fore amongst the Vets, that’s for sure and as the evening wears on teammates, friends and family let off balloons in Toms memory. Always a poignant moment and a chance to reflect and think about a top man!

Swansea Pride 2019: Pride Hits The Dancefloor

Dawsons sponsored the glitterball trophy in the dance competition at the Brangwyn Hall which took place last night 2nd May 2019.

Dawsons very own Leon Atolagbe of the Marina Lettings team competed with his good friend Lee Heaven.  Leon is a DJ by night and Letting agent by day and when he heard about the competition he was keen to get involved.

“Deciding to take part in this great activity was an easy decision. I believe strongly in diversity and equality. Coming from a mixed-race background myself, I know understand the importance of highlighting differences. I keen to get working on perfecting our routine and music, along with getting into the spirit of all that pride has to offer.”

The competition was full of glitz and glamour and saw some famous Swansea faces in the audience, including ex-EastEnders Cindy Beale, Michelle Collins.

Top Tips:

Now that Spring is here and the weather is getting warmer gardens are starting to come back to life. Remember to weed the patio, trim that out of control hedge and cut the grass.  Basically, make the garden look manageable because a well-presented garden will be one less job for a prospective purchaser.

Why you should sell your home at Auction by Dawsons

The benefit of choosing to sell by Traditional Auction

Here is an example of why Auction can be the best method of sale if you are looking for fast, secure results.

21 Brookville Road was brought to the market in March 2019 in readiness for our last auction on April 17th.

The vendors chose auction as they wanted a quick sale, it was a rental property for themselves and the property had deteriorated over the last couple of years.  Instead of spending a lot of money on a revamp of the house, they made the decision to sell it in a pretty run-down condition.

We began marketing the property and within 3-weeks we received an offer, at first the offer wasn’t quite what the vendors were looking for, however, thanks to our awesome auction negotiators a deal was agreed and both purchaser and vendor were really happy.

Even though the vendors accepted a pre-auction offer, it remained under auction conditions of an immediate exchange and completion to happen in 28 days. The property completed on the 18th of April a day after it was meant to go to the auction room, the whole process took 8 weeks from start to finish.

If you have a surplus property that is playing on your mind please let our Auction Department take your stress away give a call on 01792 478904 for your free valuation.
