JUNE ARTWORK& PAYMENT DEADLINES

New & amended artwork detailsMonday 13th May

Artwork sign-off & paymentWednesday 15th May

Welcome to the May issue of RUYS

Hi, and a warm welcome to this month’sissue of RUYS. WARM being the operative word because as I write this the seemingly endless procession of freezing nights and miserable days have given way to lovelysunshine and temperatures in the high teens. Could this finally be the start of Spring and/or summer? I really hope so and that the weather is still pleasant by the time you read this.

Well May sees the second of our new-format booklets and I’m pleased to say that the new style has been very well received. Ourcustomers like the extended coverage and extra value that brings whilst readers are telling us that the increased content is even more useful. Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to pass on their comments.

The “experts” are telling us that the economy is showing signs of a slow improvement which if true will be great news for localbusinesses. If you run one of thosebusinesses and you feel that you wouldbenefit from promoting yourself through RUYS why not give us a call - we’ll be delighted to provide you with all the info you need.

Our ethos has always been to connectLOCAL business with LOCAL people so if you are looking for a goods or service provider please use RUYS to find one and support those in your local community.

As the summer draws closer, if you are involved in a not-for-profit group and are planning a fundraising event in the next few months why not tell everyone about it through our Community Noticeboard pages? Just let us have the details and we’ll include subject to space availability.

In the meantime - get out and enjoy the sun!

Have you madeyour Will yet?

(Helen Taylor)

If you haven’t made your Will yet,here are some good reasons for doing so:

If you have a Will and are unsure if it will meet your needs, or you simply do not know if you need to make a Will, call us now for a FREE, no obligation Will Appraisal and let us explain your options.

Home visits are often available.

Many people now cohabit instead of marrying, including same sex couples. They think that they will be provided for if their partner dies. Without a Will your next of kin may inherit everything instead of your partner.

Do you have children frommore than one relationship?

If so you will need tospecify how much of the

estate they are toinherit and why.

STEAMED UP DOUBLE GLAZING?Don’t replace the Frames... just the Panes!

Cloudy2Clear Windows – Service With A Smile!It’s been a crazy few months for Cloudy2Clear Windows. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has grown rapidly as homeowners take advantage of their services. Managing Director Tony Telford feels that it’s all about service. ‘Our product is simple. If your double glazing is misted up we

can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 5 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving people money, although that obviously helps. Many tradespeople have struggled since last year and I honestly feel that during the good times a minority perhaps didn’t focus on customer care as much as they should have done. We make sure we turn up when we say we will,

do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. I often get comments back from customers on how they really didn’t expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole.’ Cloudy2Clear service Newcastle and the surrounding areas and Tony is finding that his approach is a major factor in his success. ‘The truth is that it’s not

just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family of people I’ve done work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated.’ So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Tony a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

Last two plots remain at Priory GateA brand new development in an affluent part of the city is proving popular with North East house buyers, with only two plots remaining.

Priory Gate is Keepmoat’s latest development, just off Church Road in Gosforth, and is ideal for couples, first time buyers or people looking to downsize their home.

Available from £159,995 with the government’s Help to Buy scheme, the unique two storey development includes six apartments boasting a spacious lounge/dining area, kitchen with integrated appliances and a stylish bathroom. Each apartment has a designated car parking space and the three ground floor apartments include private gardens.

Financial assistance is available through the government’s Help to Buy scheme. The scheme offers buyers who have saved a 5% deposit the chance to take advantage of a five year interest free loan covering 20% of the value of the property. The remaining 75% of the property’s value will be funded through a mortgage, which Keepmoat can help buyers to arrange.

Set in the quiet, yet well connected part of town, Priory Gate is only a ten minute walk from Gosforth’s bustling high street, with its many shops, restaurants and small boutiques, while South Gosforth Metro station is less than a two minute walk from the development.

Located near the end of Church Road, the development means there is no through traffic to disrupt the tranquillity, providing the perfect environment for home owners to relax and unwind.

Christine Harrison, Sales Director for Keepmoat North East, said:

“We have received a lot of interest in our development at Priory Gate and only two apartments remain available to buy. The development is perfect for people looking for a peaceful lifestyle, with easy access to high street shops and transportation links to the city and beyond.

“The apartments will suit many people, from first time buyers looking to get a foot on the property ladder to people looking to downsize their home. It is not often that brand new apartments in this part of Gosforth become available, and with financial assistance available through the new Help to Buy scheme, now is a great time to buy a new home.”

For more information or to register your interest in Priory Gate, please visit Church Road Mews, Gosforth NE3 1BG between 10.00am and 5.00pm Thursday to Monday. Alternatively, please call our home sales executive on 0191 543 6349 or visit keepmoat.com.

add-on family saloon can be used as a run-around.

All this effort seems totally out of proportion with the basic principle of a holiday. For most people it is an opportunity to leave home and go somewhere different. For the motorhome mainstream it is a chance to take your home with you. Surely it would just be easier to go the whole hog and just drive around in a removal van. Then you can be absolutely sure you have everything.

If I am missing the point I am certainly open to offers and would willingly take the family on a motorhome holiday and test what it is really like. Until then, camping or cottages seem a more interesting and practical option.

But at least when those towed cars are re-leased into the wild they can join the clogged roads just like the rest of us.

HappyHolidays!Yes it will soon be that time of the year again when our already clogged roads become even more clogged with the wonderful array of

holiday traffic. Everything from cars with those handy roof top boxes to caravans and moto-rhomes.

It is a testing time for all motorists, especially those not in the breakaway band, who have to be content to sit behind some of the slowest vehicles on the planet as the tailbacks just get longer and longer.

Cars laden with everything on top and filled to the gunnels inside are not the biggest culprits. That tag used to belong to the cas-cade of caravanners that seem to pour down across all roads all summers. No, they may be slow but not as pedestrian as those motor-homes that just seem to get bigger every year.

Not content with being the size of small hotels they have found ways to take up even more of the road. Firstly, they usually have a range of mirrors that not only stretch across the full length of a dual carriageway but also probably have the capacity to give close-up images of faraway countries. Then they have an assortment of aerials that would not be out of place at NASA control. They also have various bikes, canoes and other transportation strapped on to the back.

But that is not enough. Just in case they are not big enough already they add something else. Yes, they are often towing something. In most cases it is a small car. So when they eventually establish a base camp the handy

Is YourWill Valid?

CollaborativeFamilyLawyer

At Emmersons Solicitors we see all sorts of wills drafted by individuals themselves or by family members. We are usually presented with these when a client wishes to challenge the estate of a recently deceased family member.

We have come across all manner of tricks over the years. In one case an adult child had a will drafted by a friend who worked in a solicitor’s office. They then allegedly took the will to their elderly mother who was in hospital at the time. We were presented with the will after the death of the Testatrix. Our client was suspicious that the will was not genuine. We were able to prove that his mother was unconscious on the day the will was “signed”. It is necessary to have a will witnessed by two other people who should not be beneficiaries, or this will invalidate it. The witnesses must be present at the same time as each other and at the same time as the person who is making and signing their will. In this case it transpired that one of the witnesses had not even seen the lady when she signed her will. It had been brought to them by the relative and they were simply asked to sign it.

Needless to say the will was found to be com-pletely invalid. This is an extreme case where one adult child was clearly trying to defraud the other. However, if you decide to make your own will you can easily make mistakes. If the correct procedure is not followed then your will can be challenged by anyone not happy with it.

When I see clients I am quite happy for them to bring a relative along to their first meeting. Some older clients can easily become confused and it can help if there is someone there to explain things. However, I always make sure that I then see my client alone. I need them to tell

me in their own words what their instructions are. This is important as it establishes whether they have the mental capacity to make their will and it also lets me see if they are happy with the choices they made whilst their relative was in the room.

It is important to establishbackground facts

In one case I was informed that a family mem-ber had already received £10,000 from our client. Therefore the will was to be drafted so that the other child received the first £10,000 of his estate and everything thereafter would be split on an equal basis. However, when I asked for proof it transpired that £2,500 had already been paid back to our client. The will needed to be drafted so that only the amount outstanding at our client’s death was to be deducted.

This is a very common scenario and one which has just been dealt with by the courts in this country. Unfortunately to test the validity of the will meant that family members used up most of the inheritance in legal fees!

Don’t leave your family to quarrel with one another after your death. Make sure that your will is clearly drafted with evidence to support your decisions.
