As we approach the end of the year and look ahead to a new season in our lives, we start to make resolutions and goals to make the next year our year. High on many people’s lists every year is to find and move into a dream home, and 2022 could be the year you make this a reality…

Our Hockley office is located right in the heart of the Village, just a couple of doors away from the busy Costa Coffee so as we approach Christmas and the queues for 'after-eight' hot chocolate (have you tried it yet?) get longer we thought it would be a good idea to invite local charities and voluntary groups to set up stalls on our forecourt.

Wearing more clothes than a Primark store our valiant Director, Darren braved the chill wind of Storm Arwen to help deliver a fantastic, if slightly soggy Hadleigh Christmas Lights Festival for our community.

It was time to dust off the Amos Christmas Tree yesterday ready for the big switch-on in Hadleigh tomorrow afternoon but alas the 99p shop Christmas Lights purchased five years ago proved troublesome for the fifth year running and we needed the combined talents of the three sparks (sounds like a boy band) Darren, Tommy and Brad to save the day!

As founding members of Hadleigh Community Group we are especially proud of our firms involvement in the spectacular Christmas Fair & Market which takes place this coming Saturday on November 27th in the Town Centre and Hadleigh Old Fire Station.

December will see the return of our popular 'Letter to Santa' community project and hundreds of youngsters will use the magical post boxes located at our offices to send a present wish-list to Santa. Our team of helpers will pass them onto the big guy for a hand written reply sent all the way from the North Pole.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at Amos Estates with our new festive window display created by talented local artist, Harlequin Vane over the weekend. Pop in for a chat and take a look when you are next passing our Hadleigh office.

We have been collecting donations of gifts on behalf of the Samaritans Purse 'Operation Christmas Child' project which sends gifts around the World to bring the joy of Christmas to youngsters. This morning we delivered our boxes to the local collection point in Hockley.

Are you looking to move in 2022? Why not contact us for a 'virtual valuation' of your home without the need to arrange a visit in person. We do not make any charge for this additional service by our firm.

We have been supporting the Year 13 Charity Team at Sweyne Park School in Rayleigh who have been generously creating shoeboxes full of gifts to send across the World as part of Operation Christmas Child. What a fabulous group of youngsters, well done.

We have been supporting the poppy appeal this month by decorating Hockley with thousands of knotted and crochet poppies and selling poppies for the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal. The popular metal pins which have been in such short supply are back available at our Hockley office. Please pop in and buy one if you are passing. LestWeForget
