Happy Hockley Christmas!

Happy Hockley Christmas!

Happy Christmas from the team at Amos Estates - Just a quick reminder that on Saturday starting at 3pm is the Hockley Christmas Lights Switch-on in Spa Road. The shopping area will be full of stalls and music so please come along and bring the kids/grandkids to support us local traders, we all really need you at this time of year.

We also have a few festive community projects at the moment which you might like to take part in.


Letters to Santa – Our popular magic, Santa's letterbox will be back from Saturday, it’s free of charge, just drop a present wish list/letter in and receive a handwritten reply from North Pole with a gift. Don’t worry we won’t commit you to a trip to Disneyland in our reply!

 
Hockley Remembers Tree – Another of our popular projects also returns this December, we display a beautiful Christmas Tree outside the office decorated with some of our knitted poppies along with wooden baubles with the name and a short message for someone who you miss at this time of year. Come and fill in a form at the Lights Switch on, again it’s free of charge.

 
Kindness at Christmas – We are are working with Corrina O’Donnell and asking you to send a Christmas Card with a kindness message for Corrina to pass onto someone lonely or isolated in our local community. It can be hand created or a standard printed Christmas Card or two from a box. That simple five minute gesture will bring a smile to a neighbour. The letterbox is in our office, please take part.
 
 
 
We have also decorated the railings outside the Co-op, Dominoes Pizza this week with our green baubles and red and green flags to add some Christmas cheer to the Village, we hope that you have seen them.
 
To finish, we wanted to say Merry Christmas to you and your family from us all Amos Estates, hopefully we will see you on Saturday.

As the Autumn Budget approaches, the property market does something strangely predictable: it takes a collective sip of tea, raises an eyebrow, and decides to wait and see what happens next. Buyers who were enthusiastic a week ago suddenly hover in “nearly ready” mode, as if the Chancellor himself might pop up and personally adjust their mortgages.

The festive season is one of the most powerful times to make your property stand out online. With clever Christmas hacks, thoughtful staging and smart seasonal touches, you can attract more attention especially as Boxing Day becomes the year’s busiest browsing day.
