Grey &  Co's Feelgood Friday - A Good Friday Special

Grey & Co's Feelgood Friday - A Good Friday Special

A short but sweet 90-second read. In this quick round-up, we share some of the good news happening during life under lockdown

Welcome to the first Feelgood Friday update from us at Grey & Co.

And it's a Good Friday Easter special as we look at four reasons to be cheerful and optimistic that Wembley, the UK and the planet, will overcome this challenging period.

1) In Leeds, a father has donated more than 2000 Easter eggs to Leeds hospitals as a thank you to the NHS staff who saved his baby daughter's life. This eggcellent (sorry, we had to) idea has been replicated across the UK with people and businesses donating hundreds of Easter eggs to children's' wards, food banks and vulnerable people.

2) Pollution levels in India have plummeted, meaning the snow-capped mountains in the Himalayas are now visible from the city of Pathankot for the first time in 30 years. The sight of the natural wonders has lifted the spirits of the population, which is now under lockdown.

3) Doing a random act of kindness has never been more appreciated. And to help us all The Mental Health Foundation has come up with some straightforward tips to spread the feelgood factor. Check them out via the link at the bottom of this article.

4) Hong Kong Zoo's Pandas who are notably shy animals, have used the Coronavirus privacy in lockdown to mate for the first time in ten years. Could it be the start of a Panda baby boom? 


For a daily dose of feelgood news, it's worth checking out www.positive.news – it does what it says on the tin.

And finally, we'd like to wish everyone in Wembley and Brent borough as a whole a Happy Easter.

Stay home, Protect the NHS, Save Lives and …. eat loads of chocolate. (We added that last message).

Now the dust has settled on the Budget, let’s look at what it might mean for landlords and buy-to-let investors.

The Bank of England meets tomorrow (Thursday 7 November) to set the official Bank Rate or base rate as it is also known. This is the rate that banks and building societies use to set the interest rates they charge borrowers.

It’s no secret that the younger generation in Wembley is finding it tough to get onto the property ladder. With the rising cost of living, stagnating wages, and stricter mortgage criteria, it's no surprise that fewer under-34s are becoming homeowners.

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.
