Hockley Remembrance Day Poppies; we need your help.

Hockley Remembrance Day Poppies; we need your help.

The community project we are most proud of are the thousands of knitted and crochet poppies which we display in Hockley during the two weeks leading up to Remembrance Sunday. We really couldn't deliver the project without the support of the knitting geniuses who create the poppies, we hope this year will be the biggest display yet.

It seems a long way off but there are only 110 days until our Remembrance Day knitted poppies display will return to Spa Road at Hockley . We have kept all of last years displays safe but are looking for your help to make 100’s more this time to cover all of the railings if possible.

If you are feeling creative and looking for a summer project then please call into the Amos Estates office at Hockley and collect a pattern, your help as always would be really appreciated. #LestWeForget

A bank holiday weekend isn’t just a chance to relax it’s a prime opportunity to sell your home. With buyers more active, more available, and more motivated, listing your property at the right moment can make all the difference in securing interest and achieving a strong result.

Stamp duty is once again under the spotlight, with growing calls for a system that better reflects regional house prices. As affordability pressures continue, especially in the South East, proposals for change could reshape how much buyers pay and how the property market moves in the future.

As we move through May 2026, buyers are seeing more homes come to market, but affordability still matters. Here is what today’s mix of greater choice, steady demand and higher mortgage costs means if you are planning a move.

As calls grow louder to abolish stamp duty, many believe the tax is creating unnecessary barriers for buyers and slowing the UK property market. With affordability already under pressure, industry experts argue meaningful reform could help unlock greater movement, accessibility and confidence across the housing sector.
