For many people they don’t often have an

awful lot of choice when they move home. A

house move can occur for several reasons.

Perhaps a new job, which means you need to

relocate, or maybe it’s just the right time to

sell financially, in order to maximise the

value of your existing property. On the

opposite side of the coin,

perhaps you can no longer

afford to live in your

present home and are

forced to downsize.

Whatever the reason, you may not always

have the “luxury” of planning the exact time

of the year in which to move.

However, if you are fortunate enough to be

in that position then late summer and early

autumn is always a good time to consider.

Schools are back, holidays are over and the

supposedly mild weather in most areas

during this time is an

added bonus that can

make the process of

moving a little more

comfortable.

Appoint a local Estate Agent with expert in

depth knowledge in your area who will offer

help and advise on how to market your home

in its best light and also smoothly work

through the selling process should an offer

be accepted.

Prepare for viewings seriously, stay on top of

things, freshen up and clean up, the idea is

to demonstrate that your house is an

attractive, functional home to buyers. Don't

redecorate your entire property before

marketing, but do fix what is obviously

damaged.

Preparation is key, so it's a

good idea to instruct a

solicitor to do your

conveyancing early. Ask

your solicitor to fully explain all costs

associated with selling and if required, the

purchase of your new property. Finally, find

out from your mortgage lender whether you

will have any redemption penalties. Then

you'll know at what price you can afford to

sell at.

Remember though, nobody wants to move

over Christmas, so don’t be leaving coming

to the market too late. After the 2nd week

of November, buyers tend to go into

hibernation.

In reality there are purchasers out there 365

days a year. Just some days there are more

than others.

Remember, it only takes one buyer to

successfully sell a house!

ATG Project - The Ripple Effect Overview

1st September

Written by Ursula Rani Sarma

Directed by Pamela Barnes

Produced by Creative Learning Glasgow

The Ripple Effect takes place in the future after a war has turned most of the country into a wasteland. Crops and fresh water have been polluted. Each city is divided by a wall. Those who have nothing - the illegal’s - on one side and a council of dictators on the other. They are now the law. And they want to spread.

Follow the journey of Beth and Christopher, as they take the first steps to breaking down the walls of segregation and isolation in an adventure that has a ripple effect across the country.

About the Project:

Forming part of the London 2012 Festival, The Ripple Effect is a brand new play funded by the ATG Foundation. This is the first time such a large scale project has taken place across the UK.

The King’s Theatre has the largest group in the country, with 110 children and young people and is the culmination of the hard work and many hours of rehearsals that all of the participants and drama workers have put into the project.

Jim Jefferies: Fully Functional Overview

2nd September

Caustic, charming, controversial...

Call him what you will, but stand-up phenomenon Jim Jefferies is acknowledged as the fastest rising, most hilarious cutting edge comic ever to claw his way to the top of the comedy world.

Hailed by critics and loved by his legions of fans, Jefferies's glorious roasting of society's most sacred cows has made him a headlining sensation throughout the globe.

'Better than Jesus'

The Scotsman

'Britain’s most offensive stand-up comedian'

THEM BEATLESNothing is real?

Them Beatles are not a ’cover band’, neither are

they simply a ’tribute act.’ They are a visual and

aural celebration of the music, charisma and

energy of The Beatles.

The show offers the audience the chance to

witness a concert experience transformation of

The Beatles throughout their career. From the

“Cavern Club” to the mind bending psychedelic

period – featuring superbly detailed handmade

Sgt. Pepper costumes, through to the “Apple

Years” and final “rooftop” concert, all performed

live on authentic instruments and amplification

as those used by The Fab Four.

The four boys in this band share a mutual

obsession with The Beatles. Every detail is

extensively researched. Sounds a bit exhausting?

For the band it could not be more of a pleasure.

Watch them for 30 seconds and you will see, hear

and feel the dedication they put into their roles.

Them Beatles come close to matching this

with a superior mix of charisma, showmanship,

wit and of course musicianship that will have

you struggling to believe your eyes and ears.

Join us for their critically acclaimed show that

the UK is talking about and experience the trip
