We have all heard how schooling has been affected during the pandemic, with the need for many children to work from home. Sadly, due to circumstances there are families who are unable to provide the IT equipment needed for this. Our local school – The Beacon School in Banstead, has a number of children who are struggling with their education due to not having the IT equipment they need.

When we heard this we felt we wanted to help our local community and school. We did not have any laptops to give them so instead we made a monetary donation which will go towards supplying the IT equipment so desperately needed.

If you are a local business, or an individual and like us, want to help our community – please contact  The Chair of the Beacon Friend’s Association – Gary Eversfields: gary@eversfields.co.uk he will be very pleased to hear from you.

We are working in unprecedented circumstances arising both from the COVID 19 Pandemic and also the current Stamp Duty Land Tax incentive deadline. Demand is unusually high and we are experiencing extremely high levels of calls and emails.

We kindly ask that you bear with us during this time as there will be delays due to factors outside of our control. Turnaround times for surveys, mortgages, and searches have slowed considerably and this affects the timescale of a transaction.

At present the government is granting a stamp duty holiday until 31st March 2021. Whilst we appreciate that you will be keen to benefit from this government granted relief we cannot make any guarantees or confirm that the matter will complete in time for you to obtain the reduction. By continuing to instruct us on this matter you are acknowledging that the matter may not benefit from the stamp duty holiday and that you are aware that the normal rates of stamp duty will be payable for your type of transaction.

The Sutton & Epsom RFC Summer Camp 2020 was a great success. After all the troubles this year it was a wonderful chance for the kids to let their hair down and have a great time.

Our paralegal – Shanice’s daughter attended and loved it all – she can’t wait to go back next year.

So it’s a big THUMBS UP
