15% Discount In Glasgow, Sell Your House On The Internet, Improve Your Professionalism

It’s Peter Parfait, with further selected, well filtered, investigated and recommended property opportunities for you.

The first is courtesy of Mark Sawyer of The Property Association. Mark explains:

Glasgow Off-Plan Development

Following the complete sell-out of our recent Glasgow announcements, we have another superb new opportunity just east of the city. This is a really low-money-down deal, requiring just £7,500 in up-front funds with nothing further to pay until the end of next year. Once again, this property represents truly affordable housing for either buy-to-sell or buy-to-let.

The development of 248 two-bedroom and 5 three-bedroom penthouse apartments is on the edge of Glasgow city centre. 112 of these have been allocated to The Property Association at a discount of 15% off the current market value. The market values have been endorsed by two of the largest firms of RICS surveyors in Scotland. The contracts are fully assignable prior to completion, and for those wishing to let their property, rental coverage of borrowing should be easily achievable.

Glasgow is currently undergoing a compete transformation as a residential destination. This residential regeneration began in the housing boom of the late 1980's with the creation of an area within the city centre called the Merchant City. This saw the first development of new homes in Glasgow aimed at the young executive market and by the early to mid 1990's the Merchant City had become established as the core residential district of Glasgow. In 1999 Glasgow was awarded the title of Year Of Architecture And Design and from this point to the present day there has been an explosion in residential development in the city centre.

Grahams Yard lies immediately adjacent on the east of the Merchant City, next to the Monument and between other successful developments, such as Dennistoun Village and Silvergrove. Grahams Yard therefore offers a location which is comfortably within walking commuting distance of the core retail and office districts of Glasgow at a level which is more in line with affordability level based on the average salary income in west central Scotland.

Most of these new developments have been in the region of £200 - £250 per sq ft with high-spec fit-outs and achieving prices in the region of £200,000 and upwards. The average discounted price for this property is a stunning £178 per square foot. The prices include parking, and in addition to a high specification, all units have fitted wardrobes and an en-suite master bedroom.

A Low-Cost Way To Improve Your Professionalism - Recommended New Service
Whenever we write we do so for a purpose; whether to entertain, to inform, to enquire, or perhaps simply to sell. The greatest mistake that writers make, particularly those who lack practice, is to use long or unusual words and a complex sentence structure born of a desire to impress.
Yet nothing is more impressive than a piece of plain English which communicates its message clearly, and in a way which is easy for the reader to understand. Lord Macaulay once wrote - “The words employed should be such as to convey to the reader the meaning of the writer”. Nothing more, nothing less. Sloppy English suggests sloppy business.

The reason for clumsy writing is more often a lack of time than any lack of ability on the part of the writer. People are simply too busy running their business to devote hours to writing professionally. Now there’s a new service that can help – The Queen’s English. Originator Martin Helm explains:

I have just started a business whose aim is to provide a service to all those who need to communicate clearly through the written word. At its simplest, this service comprises proof reading and spell checking, as well as correction of grammar and punctuation. The most valuable feature, however, will be to re-write documents in plain English so as to convey the writer’s message in a way which enhances their professionalism.

So many businesses compromise that professionalism with poorly written text, be it in brochures, proposals to investors, or on their web-sites. All because they may not have the time to get it right.
First impressions do still count! Indeed, many of these companies’ potential customers will be well-educated people who could be irritated by what they perceive as sloppy communication. Why spend thousands of pounds on a prestigious website, for instance, only to destroy that investment with bad spelling and grammar?

Who Is This Service Aimed At? Anybody who uses the written word to communicate, explain or persuade is a potential customer for our service. That would include everybody who either advertises or produces written documents. Owners and creators of web-sites will benefit, as will those who produce proposal documents for investors or lenders. They all know their business far better than I ever could, but I can put it into the right words whilst preserving the writer’s individual style and tone.

Never let the 5% that’s wrong – outweigh the 95% that’s right!
 
I was running one of my open seminars recently on accelerating your business and personal growth.
 
One of the Delegates, Michael Ashby-Arnold came up to me in one the break and shared an expression that I really enjoyed.
 
“ Never let the 5% that’s wrong outweigh the 95% that’s right!”
 
Now that really struck a chord for me.
 
How many times, I thought to myself, have I been guilty of letting this happen? Far too many times - was my ‘internal’ reply.
 
Perhaps it’s just a human trait – I heard myself say. Trying to excuse my behaviour.
 
But – on the other hand – perhaps it’s a trait I could well do without.
 
I wonder why it is that people do this? They focus on the little bit, the negative, the stuff that goes wrong – rather than taking pleasure, joy and inspiration from all that stuff that goes right.
 
From now on – I’m going to look at life in a different way – and be pleased, be focused and be inspired by all the brilliant stuff that happens – instead of allowing that 5% to be at the forefront of my attention.
 
Now that doesn’t mean that you and I should not take a look at the 5% and see what can be learned from it – of course not. That’s a worthwhile exercise.
 
But – let’s have more 95% and enjoy it!
