Boilers under pressure! More essential hints for winter
December 13, 2007
Hot on the heels of his brilliant bleeding radiator advice, Barry our repairs guru is back with another smash hit – how to check the pressure of your boiler.
Yes, we know it’s not the sort of thing people do on an hourly basis but when you are sitting in on a Saturday night watching X Factor wondering why ice has formed on the top of your Horlicks, this could save the day.
It might also come in handy for those moments when the needle shoots into the red, the whole house starts shaking and a disembodied voice shouts “It’s going to blow captain!”
Oh, whatever. Watch it. It’s a gas.
Newly reduced rent! House to let in Nottingham
November 30, 2007
Great excitement in Nottingham this weekend when the Nottingham Malaysian student games come to the university.
Great excitement too if you are looking for accommodation for rent in Nottingham as we have just reduced the rent on a recently-renovated, carbon-neutral house to let close to Nottingham University, Nottingham Trent and Queens Medical Centre.
The four bedroom house in Lenton would suit either young professionals or students, is well-furnished throughout and the rent has been reduced to just £900 a month until July next year.
It is available now and you can find out more from 0845 230 2288.
Grant Management: property to let in the Midlands
November 23, 2007
Congratulations to Nick, our lettings expert in Birmingham who recently attended and passed a seminar held at Birmingham University. As a result of Nick’s hard word, Grant Management is now an accredited letting agent right across the Midlands.
Here is a photograph of Nick receiving his certificate from the Mayor of Birmingham. Guess which is which.
It’s ok, Nick, we’re just yanking your chain.
Take a look at our latest properties to let from the comfort of your mouse

One of the advantages of the Grant Management online property search is that you can click on an e-tour of many of our houses and flats and take a look around without leaving the computer.
Here’s a flat to rent in the West End of Glasgow for example. Click on that link and you can tour five rooms in the flat, from floor to ceiling, pausing the panorama to imagine how your Degas would look on the living room wall or to check if there is enough room in the kitchen for your valuable collection of novelty corkscrews.
There is a knack to creating this sort of e-tour and we think it involves holding the camera very steady while spinning on your right big toe – but we might be wrong.
Whatever the technique, prospective tenants find the result helps them visualise a flat or house before they visit and then reminds them of the space and lay-out of the property after they have left. Try it yourself – you will find e-tours for properties throughout the UK on the main web site.
Fall schedule: our pre-letting season for rented accommodation
November 1, 2007
It may be autumn, season of mists and mellow fruitfulness, but, guess what, that also means it is time to think of summer, season of new tenancies and properties to let.
On the basis that it is always good to know you have somewhere safe, warm, home-like, ecologically sound and reasonably priced to stay, this is the time of year many people look to sign on the dotted line for 2008. Newcastle tends to be first on the list for re-signs, followed swiftly by Birmingham but Grant Management staff in all the cities will be contacting tenants soon offering them the opportunity to commit to a further lease agreement.
Pre-lets are particularly important for university students who want to secure a house to let for their next academic year – even if they don’t know yet who they want to share with or whether they are likely to pass their exams! The message is get in there quick. It may be too early for Christmas tinsel (though that doesn’t seem to stop Woolworths), but it’s never too soon to think about a roof over your head for 2008.
