What is the most important document you will ever sign?

Signing your Will may be the most significant time you put pen to paper in your entire life. I would urge you to instruct a solicitor,

preferably a member of STEP (the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners), rather than a Bank or Will writer who are, in my experience, far more expensive and less-qualified than solicitors.

An example concerns a Bank which prepared Wills for a husband and wife simply leaving their estates to one another. All was fine on the first death, because when the husband

passed away his estate went to his wife. However, when the wife died she left her estate to the husband who had predeceased her, thus the Will was in vain and her estate passed to relatives all of whom, I suspect, she would have joyfully disinherited.

Good, well drafted Wills do not need to be complex, nor expensive. The testator must think carefully about what he or

she wants to do.

A qualified solicitor would have avoided this problem. Good, well drafted Wills do not need to be complex, nor expensive. The testator must think carefully about what he or she wants to do, and their adviser will use their training and experience to achieve the testator’s wishes.

Spratt Endicott charge £160 plus VAT for a basic individual Will, and just £200 plus VAT for a joint Will. If you would like further information, please contact David Endicott, Managing Partner at Spratt Endicott Solicitors on 01295 204005 or email [email protected].

Pushy salesmen?Not with Cloudy2Clear!

Cloudy2Clear Windows, the South Northants based window repair company, are

revolutionising how homeowners view double glazing in our area. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has grown rapidly as customers take advantage of their services. Managing Director, Josh Florey, is convinced that much of his success is down to the fact that he employs tradesmen, not salesmen. ‘If you think about it, who wants to deal with the dreaded double glazing salesman? The thought of going through the whole tedious process of haggling with someone who arrives at 7 at night and then camps themselves in your house until midnight is not one most people fi nd attractive. A lot of our customers

are elderly and can feel very pressurised by sales tactics. We set out from day one to be very different.’

Josh makes very sure his customers are looked after right from the fi rst time Cloudy2Clear arrive at the house. ‘All our staff arrive in uniforms so the customer knows who they are and I insist that they wear plastic overshoes to protect the customers carpets. We then measure the windows that have a problem and price the job up there and then, which usually takes around 15 minutes. If the customer wants the job doing we’ll arrange installation but if they want to call us back later that’s fi ne. What I don’t want to hear from any of my customers is that they felt pushed into anything. It’s just not our style. We’re trying to give the glazing industry a reputable face and the evidence of my order book tells me my customers like our approach.’

So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Josh a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be more than happy to help!

So, if your windows are steamed • Josh Florey.

Old Fashioned Values Pay Dividends For Cloudy2ClearIt’s been a crazy few months for Cloudy2Clear Windows. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has grown rapidly as homeowners take advantage of their services.

Managing Director Trevor Skidmore feels that his approach is the key. ‘Our product is simple. If your double glazing is misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 5 year guarantee. But it’s not just about

saving people money, although that obviously helps. Some people may call the way I do things a little old-fashioned but it’s amazing how a simple mix of manners, punctuality and personal service increases your business. I’m constantly taken aback by customers who are shocked that we turn up when we say we will, do the job that is required and clean up after ourselves. I’m afraid it indicates to me that there are many companies who don’t and that’s just not fair to the customer.’

Cloudy2Clear service the whole of Northamptonshire from their local depots and

his ethos is proving to be a major factor in his success. ‘When I started out I just did the things that came naturally to me. I really hate being let down by tradesmen so I was determined not to let that happen to my customers. As it turns out that little bit of extra care has meant I get friends and familyof people I have done

work for on the phone constantly so it’s not just personally satisfying but good for business too. At the end of the day it’s not rocket science, is it?’

So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Trevor a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!
