Bluedoor Bluedoor how does your garden grow?

It grows with the help of Mr Green Fingers Richard Taylor our favourite gardener. (Don't tell my mother in law!)

He has transformed the garden of one of our newbuild properties from a muddy place to this

If your garden is looking worse for wear or you would just like to give it a new look give us a call and we'll put you in touch.

Join the Rush

Oh dear!

Landlords are in such a rush to instruct bluedoor that they will abandon their cars anywhere.

To Let or not To Let?

If you are considering letting the property you currently live in please, please, please consider a few things.

Do you want to live somewhere else while your house is let?
Can you afford to live elsewhere while your house is let?
Are you willing to live elsewhere for a whole year even if your original plans go awry?
Do you agree that letting your home is a business agreement not a favour to the tenant?
Can you accept that to all intents and purposes the property is not yours for the term of the agreement?

If the answer to any of the above is 'No' then maybe letting your home is not the best way forward.

Would you like a cheque for £50?

Did you know that you can get £50 when you recommend a landlord and we let their property with our full management service? Well you can and a good number of our landlords and friends are pleased as punch when they get their cheque in the post.


Maybe that's why this week has been so busy. We've got a new property in Peachcroft by recommendation as well as flats inJackman Close and Headington. The gorgeous house in the previous post is let subject to contract as is the lovely family place in Radley.



I had a raised eyebrow when taking the internal photos of the Peachcroft house because one of the bedrooms has a lot of green plants under lamps. I thought I was going to have to ring the old bill! The current tenant isn't a small time dealer though, he's an orchid collector - thank goodness.





Then new tenants have moved into Caldecott Road and are even happier now that a good man has been in there and not found any spirits needing sending towards the light. The chap had looked at letting the house himself so gave it the once over. Apparently there a quite a few places in Abingdon where spirits have needed a nudge to move on. They aren't usually bad; they're just a bit lost between here and there. I might get him to check out all our properties before letting them in the future!
