Our 'Hockley Remembers' community project launched today

An early start for our Hockley team as they climbed out of bed before dawn and got on with displaying 1000's of knitted and crochet poppies to the railings in Hockley Village. #LestWeForget

Our 'Hockley Remembers' community project which has been wonderfully supported by our Village community was launched this morning and the thousands of knitted and crochet poppies created by our friends and neighbours will be displayed over the next two weeks as we approach Remembrance Sunday.

We hope that you will visit and be inspired to make a donation to the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal, we have a tin outside our office.

All costs in this guide are just an average and will vary depending on the complexity of the transaction and even where you live in the country so remember to ask for detailed costings.

Choosing a new home isn’t just about the property itself – the neighbourhood plays a huge role in your quality of life. From schools and transport links to local shops and community spirit, here’s what to look out for when deciding if an area is right for you.
