    Hi Cilla

    I have found Life-Style extremely professional. My needs and circumstances were fully understood from the outset and relevant properties recommended to me accordingly.

    When delays were happening with the solicitors, Life-Style took the issues up and dealt with them very promptly.

    I am very happy with the experience I have had and would not hesitate in recommending Life-Style to other prospective customers.

    With kind regards

    Debbie

  • Can the new Lifetime ISA help first time buyers?

    Posted in Property Sales on Apr 13, 2016

    From April 2017 any adult aged between 18 and 40 will be able to open a new Lifetime ISA account. You can save up to £4,000 a year and receive a 25% bonus from the Government on this money on any savings before your 50th birthday. The money saved in this account can be withdrawn to help buy your first home or saved until you are over 60 for retirement income.

    These savings and bonus can be used towards a deposit of a first home worth up to £450,000 across the country. Couples, who are both first time buyers, can open an account each and both receive the benefit as the account is limited to one per person rather than one per home.

    Savings from the previous Help to Buy ISA can be transferred into the Lifetime ISA account in 2017 or you can continue saving in both accounts separately but you can only use the bonus from one account to buy a house.

    Alternatively the Lifetime ISA can be saved for retirement, you can take out all the savings, tax exempt, after your 60th birthday.

    You can withdraw the money at any time before your 60th birthday but will lose the Goverment bonus and any interest on this. You will also have to pay a 5% charge.

    Had a great service from Lifestyle, particularly Gary who managed to arrange an immediate viewing, on a Sunday, with the vendor. I bought that house and found all the staff very pleasant and helpful during the purchasing period. Would have no hesitation recommending.

    Hi Cilla

    I was extremely pleased with the service I received from Lifestyle, in particular your help at the exchange/completion time when my own solicitor was being particularly unhelpful and seemed to be holding things up. You stepped in and spoke to both sets of solicitors and managed to get everything moving to ensure completion happened when we all wanted it to.

    Thanks

    Hi James

    We were absolutely delighted with the service provided by your and your team in selling our rental property at Bradley Stoke.

    You acted as our agents for many years while we were renting and we received such excellent service throughout that period that we decided to sell with you when the time was right for us.

    Lifestyle sold the property immediately it was put on the market and made the entire process stress free and kept us fully informed at all times.

    I feel your fees are very reasonable in this current market which made it even easier to chose Lifestyle in both selling or renting.

    I would recommend and utilise your services in the future.

    Kind regards

    Hi James

    I have used Lifestyle twice in the last ten years and have been very impressed with your service both times.

    I have recommended Lifestyle to others as I am confident that they will be as impressed as me.

    I am not planning to move again in the near future but if and when I do, Lifestyle will be my first choice estate agent.

    Thanks again for all your help.

    Dear James

    From start to finish in the process of purchasing my new property the levels of service provided by the sales team was 'first class'.

    The seller was not the easiest to deal with but the LS sales team were excellent in resolving any queries or emergent issues that came when purchasing the property. At all levels of the LS sales team they were always very positive and professional and a pleasure to deal with.

    I would recommend Lifestyle estate agents to anyone and look forward to dealing with them again sometime in the future.

    Regards

    Hi James

    I would like to thank yourself and your team at Lifestyle for the assistance on selling my property in February this year. The service was of a high standard and I was kept informed and updated at all stages of the sale throughout.

    I would like you to pass on my thanks to Cilla for her jovial, very friendly and professional manner with any queries, concerns or questions that I had.

    Once again, many thanks and if I ever feel the need to buy in the Bradley Stoke area you can rest assured that I will come to you first and will definitely recommend your services to anyone that requests an Estate Agent in the area.

    Cheers

    Hi Cilla

    Sorry we meant to email the office and thank you for such a fantastic job all round but life is hectic for us at the minute and we simply forgot.

    We are actually quite sad to no longer have any dealings with Lifestyle, we have used the lettings side for well over ten years across various properties so was logical to use you guys to sell the properties too.

    Lifestyle are a breath of fresh air in the world of estate agents and honest, reliable with a high quality of integrity.

    To sell the property so quickly was a massive plus for us as we couldn't afford to have it empty for a period and that's exactly what you delivered.

    Thank you to everyone in the office from lettings, maintenance and sales it has been fantastic dealing with you over the years.

    Hopefully the company continues to go from strength to strength.

    Kind regards

    Katherine & Ben
