Sadly, I write this on behalf of my father Mr Jackson, who was last week taken into Raigmore hospital, where he may well remain for some considerable time.
Strangely one of the things he was most concerned about was updating his 'Blog'. I've promised him I will keep up to date with this on his behalf.
Thank you to everyone for all your kind comments, flowers and gifts. I never knew he had such an on-line presence !
I look forward to witing this on his behalf and passing on his huge knowledge base of the property market. He's also told me I must mention tea and cakes in every post ??? No doubt someone will fill me in with more details on this.
I look forward to 'blogging' with you soon.
Thanks again !
Adrian Jackson (Junior !).

The good, the bad and the hungry.
Landlord's you may think you've had a bad tenant - Here's a good one (well bad one infact) from The Telegraph.
James Harvard and Janice Gledhill own a caravan park in Essex. One of their tenants - Robert Taylor - had a dispute with them about the rent, so he did what any reasonable tenant would do under the circumstances, he destroyed their house and two cars with a 14-tonne JCB. Now, from prison, he's suing them for selling his caravan.
And, Estate Agents aren't all that bad are they.... ? My son alerted me to this, from across the pond. Troy Reeves and his team from Arizona Unclaimed Homes claim that they have built their reputation not just on promises, but on guarantees-commitments that demand complete follow through.
Shortly after he became an agent, Troy developed the “one hour return call concept” and still commits to it twelve years later. Simply put, any client who gets voice mail and wants a call back within sixty minutes will get it, or Troy will buy that person dinner for two. “This has been a big factor in separating us from the competition. We put our money where our mouth is every day. I recognize the need to separate us from the competition, and we achieved that through uniques marketing and advertising strategies, combined with top-notch service for our clients.
I think I'll test his claim - I'll give him a call in the morning, what with Arizona being 7 hours behind GMT. I'm sure to get a free lunch, I wonder if they have Rington's and Lemon drizzle cake over there.
Here's hoping,
Until next time,
Mr Jackson.
