Author: Callum Roberts Friday, February 27, 2009

Shaun getting ready for his jump.

No going back!

He is 'The Man'

Dillon has left the plane!

It is a very long way to go - but it wont take that long at 120mph

Dillon starting to enjoy it!

Hey, I can see my first property from here!

Shaun Roberts, Jenny Mole and Dillon Callum at Langar Airfield, Nottingham.

Dillon & Shaun carry out a jump for charity!

In an effort to raise money for charity, the boys at Callum Roberts Property Consultants took to the sky.

13,100 ft above the skies of Nottingham - a far cry away from Holborn and the City of London, both Dillon and Shaun proved once and for all that they are game for a laugh.

Neither showed any nerves when the doors of the plane opened and it was time to jump and was joined by Jenny Mole of Nottingham, who was raising money for the NSPCC.

As in previous years, money was raised by Dillon & Shaun of Callum Roberts for St Christopher's Hospice - This jump raising to date around about £1000.00

Now it is time to get our feet back on the ground in sunny Bloomsbury and get back to selling houses!

We would like to thank all of our family, friends and clients who supported this worthy cause!

Green shoots?

Are we there yet?

With record low interest rates and heavily discounted property prices, we have many people coming into our offices asking 'Are we there yet?'

Are we at the bottom of the market.

I sincerely hope we are, but it may take until April at the earliest before we can head off on our return journey to recovery.

House prices in Bloomsbury, Holborn and the City have held up pretty well all things considered and even the rental prices in these areas have been pretty resilient to the massive falls seen elsewhere in London.

If we were adding to the debate on weather it is the right time to buy or not, we would say 'yes'.

Every downturn is followed at some point by an upturn. Just because the house prices in the last recession (yes, we can say it now) took years to come back again, does not mean that the same can be said again of this one.

Whilst we will not see the huge leaps in prices that we have seen so quickly recently, things may not take as long to come back this time round.

Much of what is holding people back from buying is not the prices, but the fact that people are finding it hard to get finance.

Firstly, lets see which banks are left standing come April, then we will have to see how we do as an economy at that point. If we as a country are not ourselves bankrupt, we may see the green shoots this side of 2010 (as long as the banks that are left, start lending).
