Christmas Shoebox Appeal 2023

Christmas Shoebox Appeal 2023

This year we will again be taking part in Teams 4 U Christmas shoe box appeal to give gifts and essentials to those less fortunate. Read on to find out more.

For the past few years we have been supporting Teams 4 U Christmas shoebox appeal and we will be once again trying to send off as many boxes as possible. We have such fantastic support from clients, the public and lots of kids getting involved to help those less fortunate. Lesley Hooks Estate Agents will again be making the donation to Teams4U for transportation costs of any boxes sent from our offices. The campaign is running until November 13th, check out the ways you can get involved below.

How You Can Make A Difference

Collect A Box to Fill Up - pop into one of our offices for a pre printed shoebox, simply fill it up at home and return it back to us to send off. 

Drop In Donations to Branch- if you have items that could help fill shoeboxes then please drop them in and we will fill as many boxes as possible. 

Make Your Own Shoebox- if you already have a shoebox then wrap it up in Christmas paper and fill it yourself. You can then drop it into one of our offices which are registered drop offs and we will cover the donation for transport. 

Note- you do not need to include the transport donation as Lesley Hooks Estate Agents will be funding it.
If you or anyone you know works for or runs a business that can donate any of the suggested items then please get in touch.

If you’re hoping to be in your new home by Christmas, time is running out. With UK sale timelines now topping 200 days from listing to completion, September may be your last chance to start the process. Here’s what you need to know before it’s too late…

When it comes to selling your home, small improvements can make a big difference to the final price you achieve. The good news is that you don’t always need a full renovation. With a few cost-effective upgrades, you can boost your property’s appeal and attract more motivated buyers.

If your home has been sitting on the market with no progress, you’re not stuck. Switching estate agents is easier than you think, if you understand your contract and prepare properly. Here’s the truth, the timelines and the process to relaunch with impact.

Buying a home is one of life’s biggest decisions. Whether it’s your first purchase or your fifth, the process can feel daunting, with plenty of pitfalls to avoid. From mortgages and surveys to legal paperwork and negotiations, there’s a lot to take on board. By arming yourself with the right information and working with a knowledgeable local estate agent, you’ll be better placed to make smart decisions and find the home that truly fits your needs.
