Symonds & Sampson’s multi-award-winning magazine Country Matters is now available for collection from our offices and is, as usual, full of informative and interesting articles to enjoy.“We cover a diverse range of work throughout the firm”, says Editor and Senior Partner, Mark Lewis, “and articles will be of interest to all sectors of property. These include articles on professional valuations, compensation for electricity poles, the management of blocks of flats and the latest town and country planning rules.
“Readers may also be interested in the grants available to landowners, how agency is now a global language, and we also examine listed buildings and suggest some ways of improving the conveyancing system.
“If you enjoy auctions, you may find an article about the ‘art’ of bidding useful, and for those with commercial property, there is sage advice about rent charges.
“In lighter articles, we celebrate some of the famous people who have ‘touched’ our region – Lady Nelson, Thomas Hardy, Captain Bligh, and even the King of England murdered on Dorset soil.
“As ever, the most popular pages feature photographs from the summer shows.
“Please call into your nearest Symonds & Sampson office to collect your copy. We hope you enjoy the magazine, and if our experts offer advice on topics covered, or any property matters, please do not hesitate to get in touch.”
