Mid-century gem and why property awardsmatter

THIS weekend we announce the opening for entries into The Yorkshires Residential Real Estate Awards. They are run by the wonderful Yorkshire Children’s Charity whose small team works wonders in helping children in need in God’s Own County.

The Yorkshire Post supports the event wholeheartedly after seeing the sterling work the charity has done to help those whose incomes won’t stretch to meet the basics for their children, however hard they work.

The team also supports those who have disabilities and need specialist equipment that the state will not pay for.

The list of what they provide is almost endless but the money soon runs out, which is why your help is needed.

We are calling on those who work in the residential property sector to enter the awards and we are encouraging them to book a place or a table for the event, which is great fun with great food and is great for networking.

I’m hoping to see you there on the night and can promise the company and the food will be first class.

Also in this weekend’s Property Post we take a long and enjoyable look at a marvelous mid-century home for sale.

It was designed and lived in by the architect Fred Taylor who was heavily inspired by the works of Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier.

Fred started his architectural studies aged 14 in Knottingley Urban District Council’s surveying and engineering office and went on to work in private practice where he designed many more mid-century homes.

What I love most about this house and its owners is that they saved up for the very best and much of it has stood the test of time proving that the buy well/buy once ethos works wonderfully and can save you a fortune in the end.

As the saying goes, if I had the money, I’d buy this home for myself.
