Can You Help Us Find Our Charity of the Year for 2022?

A two-minute read.

Happy Valentines and New Year to you all.

I’m excited about 2022 because even though we’re in a challenging period due to Covid-19, we’re in a much better place than we were this time 12 months ago.

This time of year always fills me with ideas about improving things, personally and professionally. I love goal setting and looking ahead, whether trying to get fitter, improve my sleep quality, or build on our boutique agency’s successes from recent years.
We’ve several goals for our business as we enter our 31st year serving the people of Wembley and the neighbouring areas.

At the top of our 2022 to-do list is to find a local charity or community group of the year we can support over the next 12 months.
Our idea is to work with a charity which needs to be based in Brent. Ideally, it would benefit from a monthly donation from us throughout 2022 and be the recipient of a fundraising event during the year.
My dad, who started Grey & Co back in 1991, would always remind me of the importance of giving back to the local community.

Our team all live locally, and we make our living from serving local people, so it feels entirely natural to get involved as much as we can to help our community.

I believe that businesses have a social responsibility to the neighbourhoods and people where they are based. And I see an estate agency as a professional service many local people will need at some point in their lives.
I’d love to be in a position where we can support lots of local charities, but we’re not, so working alongside one for the next 12 months means we can at least do something positive.

If you would like to recommend a charity or are part of a community group that would like to put itself forward to work with us, please email me at: abigailgrey@greyandco.co.uk to arrange an informal chat.

Thanks for your time, and may 2022 prove happy, healthy and prosperous for you.

Now that the dust has settled on the Autumn Budget, let’s look at how it will impact the property market.

After months of fevered speculation, Chancellor Rachel Reeves will unveil her autumn Budget next week (Wednesday 30 October). As the announcement could have important implications for landlords, let’s consider what might be included in it.

In an age of sensational headlines, the UK property market—particularly in Wembley—often finds itself misinterpreted. While we cannot ignore the challenges of higher mortgage rates and shifting buyer preferences, it is vital to appreciate the broader context to understand what's happening in the Wembley property landscape.

Earlier today, the Bank of England (B of E) announced that the base interest rate will be cut by 0.25 to 4.75%. This is good news for the property market.
