SEVERE COLD WEATHER ADVICE!... 05/02/2012
Practical steps to take if you are away from your property during the cold spell;-
To prevent freezing of internal pipes it is recommended that you;-
- If you are away overnight turn off your water supply to prevent pipes from bursting. Locate the stop-cock inside your home, this is usually under the kitchen sink.
- Keep torches (and any batteries) to hand in case lighting fails or you need to switch off power.
- Keep important emergency numbers handy in your home.
- Even when you are out leave the heating system on a low setting of around 10°c to prevent pipes freezing.
- Ensure everyone living in your home knows where the water stop cock and electricity mains switch, are located.
- Get information during severe cold weather by listening to local radio or TV for advice and updates.
- If you can store some water from your property or from a neighbour, for personal and toilet needs, for when you have to switch the mains water off at the stop-cock.
Contact our Jigsaw Letting team for further advice or refer to our advice information pack on severe cold weather.

And the Winner is... 01/07/2010
The National Landlords Association (NLA) is pleased to announce that due to a flourishing property portfolio, financial success and personal achievements in the private-rented sector, Sandra Widdrington from Selby has been crowned NLA Yorkshire and The Humber Property Woman 2010 at the NLA’s prestigious Property Women Awards ceremony in Central Londo.
Despite the adversity of the current market place, Sandra was judged to have shown determination and a savvy business approach making her a cut above the rest. She initially entered the market with the sole aim of buying just one property to rent out as a way of supplementing her retirement fund, but she soon got the property bug and is now running her own letting and property management business which boasts hundreds of properties.
The awards were presented by property addict and TV presenter Melissa Porter, who had nothing but praise for Sandra’s success, “I’m a business woman myself, so I know it takes a lot of hard work and commitment to succeed - two qualities that Sandra has in abundance. The last year certainly hasn’t been easy for the property market, but in a way that makes celebrating the achievements of women like Sandra even sweeter!”
