Ques�on: Are you insured against water damage if it is caused bylack of regular maintenance?Answer: Not likely!

Insurance companies frequently decline to pay claims for damage caused byleaks if they suspect gu�ers have not been properly maintained.Most policies expect policyholders to take reasonable precau�ons to keeptheir premises in a good state of repair. Dependent on the policy and insurer,there could be ques�on marks over the extent of cover for blocked gu�eringcausing water damage to buildings. Avoid this poten�al problem by cu�ngthe problem off at the root. Preven�on is be�er than the cure – avoiding wa‐ter damage to property is always the best remedy.It is recommended that gu�ers on commercial and residen�al proper�es arecleaned at least one every twelve months. Capillary ac�on causes standingwater to get under roofing and inflict untold damage to fascias and sub roof‐ing. Given any avenue, water will find its way in.


Can you remember, in the old days, when selling your property meant aiming to geton the market in the Spring, a�er the Christmas excesses had nicely died down? Thenthe market would go up and down depending on school holidays, the weather, specialevents, current affairs and whether or not there was an R in the month? There wouldbe a small window of opportunity from September through October to get your exist‐ing property sold in the hope that you would be in your new one before Christmas.With more years in Estate Agency than I care to admit to, I remember it all. Thanksto the advent of technology, these peaks and troughs are more ripples and dips nowthat you can look for a property 24/7 on the internet.If you’re an insomniac you can while away the wee small hours clicking and select‐ing un�l you find your dream property. You catn go on a virtual tour, scan the floor‐plan, and then click on to maps and even see the property in its ‘Streetview’. (Howlong before we can scan under the bed to check for dust bunnies?) All of which hastransformed the way that we search for a new property and the �me that it takes.You don’t need to trawl around the Estate Agents, picking up a small forest of paperbrochures only to discard half of them once you’ve got home and read them properly.You would have had to register with every agent, and then only half of them wouldcontact you when a suitable property came on the market and you could miss yourdream home because someone had lost your 5 x 3 card down the back of a filingcabinet. So �me consuming!Now, you can register on the internet sites and whichever agent puts your dreamhome on the market, you can be informed of it instantly and not miss out. All ofwhich means that vendors have a much be�er chance of selling their property anda purchaser has a be�er chance of finding one, regardless of the �me of year. So ifyou’re thinking of selling your property, don’t wait. Do it now! We have insomniacbuyers wai�ng! Janet Wilson

Riddles


Realising that my own 79‐year‐old grandmother was struggling with the laptopshe had just bought for herself, I contacted David and booked a lesson for herto be held at her own home. To say that she was impressed with David wouldbe an under‐statement. My grandmother has never typed in her life and didnot understand the first thing about sending emails, surfing the net, Facebookor, in fact, any task that most of us now take for granted. She wanted to beable to Skype her grandchildren away at university and keep in contact withfriends and family via email. She told me that from the very first session withDavid his compassionate and unpatronising method of teaching put her com‐pletely at ease. She could not praise him enough for his pa�ence and under‐standing that not everyone upon purchasing a computer can instantly “log onand get started”. He explains everything succinctly and in layman’s languagein a way that anyone, whoever they are and whatever their age, are able tounderstand. James Waddington

When you enlist the services of David you will be presented with a personal‐ised manual which explains in full all the tasks he takes you through so you canprac�se at leisure un�l the next session.

So don’t sit there struggling – book a session with David and open up a wholenew cyber world for yourself.
