Wales Airshow 2019 with Dawsons Property

Wales Airshow 2019 with the Dawsons Property Team

July 9, 2019 Editor

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
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.
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

The upcoming auction on June 12^th has already had lots of interest. At the time of writing, we have 17 properties available, with 4 already sold before auction day.

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.

We are thrilled to have collected sanitary products to help support girls in our local comprehensive schools under the “Period Poverty” campaign! Thank you to everyone who contributed, it is greatly appreciated by Dawsons and, of course, the local schools.

Period Poverty collection for local schools from Dawsons Property — Beth & Nicky proud of their ‘period poverty’ collection for local schoolgirls

Industry News:

Dawsons Property has announced the acquisition of the ‘We Will Homes’ property portfolio, that had previously been managed from their central offices based at Orchard Street, Swansea.

The acquisition sees two well established, local and trusted companies working together with the intention of enhancing the customer experience and professional services to clients within the city.

This has been a seamless transition as a result of much preparation, ensuring that the `We Will Homes` clients were unaffected by the change of agent and that they were being guided and supported through every step of the process.

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.

Auction News:

The auction market in Swansea is booming currently. We had a total of 24 properties for Aprils auction with 16 already (at the time of writing) for June’s auction.

Friends of Dunvant Primary School receive a boost for their parking patrol

Image April 7, 2019 Editor

Dunvant primary school are extremely proactive in the safety of their school children, as part of this initiative their year 6 pupils regularly patrol the outside of the school at pick up times and politely ask the parents to reconsider their parking choices should they be parked on the zig zags, double yellow lines, etc for the safety of all children entering and exiting the school grounds.Dawsons Estate agents have kindly provided a host of high visibility jackets for the children to wear on their patrols along with conducting a children’s drawing competition to design a road safety banner for the front of the school. Dawsons worked alongside the head teacher Miss Thomas as well as Abi Cherry and Catherine Luck of Friends of Dunvant School (FODS).

The 3 finalists of the drawing competition were then presented with their Dawsons goodie bags along with the new school banner and high vis jackets in their celebration morning assembly.

Photo: Daniel Ray (Dawsons Killay Office) with Sophie and Halle (artwork finalists).

Catherine Luck (Friends of Dunvant School) said
‘When the Dawsons marketing team got in touch with us to see if they could help the school in any way, it was a must for me. Upon initial discussions, we felt that having a local estate agent supporting the safety initiative of the school would be a great opportunity for the children to get creative and increase their safety at the same time. My mum Joan worked within the Land & New Homes Dept for some years and it was lovely to see my children in the school being supported in some way by Grannies work’David Parton (Dawsons Killay branch manager) added:
‘We are very fortunate to be based in such a vibrant community and will always look to work alongside other local businesses, charities and schools where we can. It was wonderful to see the children get so involved with our competition and enjoyed judging the artwork very much, we look forward to working alongside the school in future projects.’

Llanelli’s Matthew Whitehead run his first half marathon in aid of a fellow staff member:

Our very own Matthew Whitehead decided to take up running in 2018 and signed himself up for the Llanelli half marathon, which is a tough goal for a regular runner let alone a beginner.

With this in mind, Matthew wanted to run to raise funds for something worthwhile. Last year Sam James of our Mumbles lettings office was diagnosed with breast cancer only weeks after discovering she was pregnant with her first child. As a company we decided to give Sam the financial support she would need to be able to recover and enjoy her maternity alongside her partner Luke by fundraising as much as possible. Now baby Maiya is here and is a beautiful, healthy little lady, and Sam herself is also doing so well with her treatments and remaining positive. As Sam’s recovery is not over yet we are still looking to raise what we can for her with further fundraisers planned through the year. If you would like to donate or help fundraise please let us know.

Industry News:

Keeping learning local but global, introducing Dawsons Training Wales:

As most of us in the property industry will know, a regulation was introduced in Wales which applies to all landlords and agents of private residential property. The regulations became enforceable by Rent Smart Wales (RSW) in November 2016, requiring landlords and agents to comply with the new legislation, licensing those who deal with letting and management activities of properties within the private rented sector throughout Wales.

To obtain a license both landlords and agents have to undergo training from a Rent Smart Wales (RSW) approved trainer. This training can be classroom or online based. As a local agency discovered when looking to train new staff, the online course is extremely accessible and suited to an agents working environment, as part of this busy fast moving life we all lead.

With the increase in purchases online in recent years and the now daily use of PayPal for most, the need for a safe, quick and easy transaction at any time of day or night, outside of the usual business hours has become the norm.

There are many bonuses to completing an online training course, with the main benefit being the opportunity to complete the course from any part of the world in your own time, at your own pace. With online courses being easily accessible to all with the click of a button, it makes sense to learn at your leisure.

With this in mind Dawsons Training Wales was born in January 2019. Having acquired a former training provider (A19), Dawsons Training Wales has been set up to ensure the ease of online training for landlords and agents remained available from a local business provider.

The learning portal, designed by Picselli a Swansea based web design company, with the assistance and approval of RSW is one of the most up to date approved online course’s available. At an affordable, and competitive cost for both landlords and agents to complete the course, Dawsons Training Wales has become a success since its birth.

With an easy-to-access website, office hours helpline and around the clock email response, Dawsons Training Wales is very much the ideal training tool for all those requiring an RSW license.

Contact our team on 01792 633270 or visit WWW.DAWSONSTRAININGWALES.CO.UK for more information.

Top Tips:

Sacrifice your parking space
If your home comes with an allocated parking space, leave it free for prospective buyers/renters to use. It’s convenient and offers an experience that’s closer to the reality of what it’s like to live in your home.

Auction News:

From Auction Negotiator Callum Thomas:

“What a fantastic start to 2019 from the auction department. Having sold 10 properties in the first auction of the year. The high flyer was 15 B+C Trewyddfa Terrace which achieved £81,000 off of a £55,000 Guide Price. We have 15 properties, at the time of writing, all ready for April’s auction which is on the 17th so be sure to keep an eye out for those. We have created a real property network at our auctions now with building suppliers, surveyors, solicitors and rentals professionals there on the day. If you are interested in buying or selling with auction please do not hesitate to call us on 01792 478904.”

“Relocation Across the Nation”

Relocation Agent Network together with their partner agents was eager to share the love on Valentine’s Day by focusing and helping our clients with their relocation needs across the UK. It provides us with a great opportunity to identify those clients either looking to move into our area and equally those moving out by referring them to one of our partner agents, handpicked by RAN for our outstanding customer service.

Here at Dawsons, we have at least one accredited Relocation Specialist working out of each of our branches who will provide all the help and support needed with a proposed relocation which can be quite daunting, especially when it comes to choosing the best areas, schooling, etc.

So Valentines Day saw every agent partnered with RAN across the UK, tweeting, posting and sharing the love ……#weheartrelocation

Killing It In Killay

Video September 6, 2018 Editor

Going the extra mile is our motto at Killay Branch. It is an absolute pleasure to make our clients happy, that’s what our jobs are all about after all.

It is probably due to this fact that our Killay branch is absolutely “killing it” and smashing our targets for sales and lettings.

Watch Callum Thomas (our sales negotiator) on his very first video, talking about the property current market, the asking prices being achieved, the speed at which property is being sold, some of the best areas (for instance Gowerton, Elmer Estate, North Gower) and how Dawsons are the market leaders. We think that Callum is a total pro in front of the camera, so watch out for many more videos to come!

Callum and Sharon from our Killay Branch pictured on a valuation and measure-up at a property in Penclawdd North Gower. The house had so much land that the vendor requires 4 tractors! Of course, the Dawsons guys had to have a go and get a picture with them!

Schools out for Summer – week 1

July 20, 2018 Editor

Yes kids! It’s that amazing time of the year when you don’t have to get up for school and can spend long days playing with your friends and having a whale of a time.

Ok parents, it’s that time of the year when you are pulling your hair out and wondering what the heck to do every day to keep the kids amused, and you relatively sane.

So over the next few weeks we will be helping you out with some of our favourite local children’s events happening over the Summer holidays and whilst we are at it, we will try to give you a little break at home (so you can get to watch at least a re-run of last night’s Love Island) by providing you with a picture to download and get the kids to colour in.

So this week our ‘Schools out for Summer’ theme is PIRATES!

‘Oohhh Aarrggghhh Me Hearties’

As you may already know Wales is celebrating its YEAR OF THE SEA and so the museum has a FREE family-friendly exhibition on all through the Summer holidays from 10am to 5pm daily. You can find out all about the history of pirates and buccaneers all over the world, hear tales of treason and treachery, not to mention treasure. Check out the museum website for further details.

NATIONAL WATERFRONT MUSEUM PIRATE EXHIBITION

We would love to hear about your visit, did you dress up, if so post us a picture using #SCHOOLSOUTFORSUMMER on our Dawsons Facebook Page. If you want to download our colouring pic, we’d also like to see your efforts, so make sure you post it on our page so we can see your pencil skills.

See you next week for more Summer Fun in Swansea!
