Man and Van Wimbledon

June 22nd, 2009

It’s the last week in June and that means only one thing. Wimbledon is here! It’s the two weeks in the year where people will dust off their tennis rackets, find their whitest whites and brave the inevitable rain to practice their serve and volley. Man and Van Wimbledon is committed to providing the most efficient and competitive service available even when SW19 fills with tourists. Man and Vans, London’s leading light removal service, is based in South West London and really likes to help its neighbours with any light removals they may have.

Man and Van Wimbledon may be too busy to hit the courts this summer but here at Man and Vans we’re extremely excited about Wimbledon’s new Centre Court roof. Although Man and Van Wimbledon will work in the rain Rafael, Roger and Andy have never been too keen to brave the elements. Thankfully this year there’ll be no need for Cliff Richards’ services as, from the 17th May, Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Association has been using its new retractable roof. Health and Safety tests on the court were conducted by none other than Andre Agassi, Steffi Graf, Tim Henman and Kim Clijsters, who enjoyed an exhibition game of mixed doubles as the well timed rain patted the roof as it closed.

Although Man and Van Wimbledon cannot claim to have such famous health and safety testers Man and Vans is committed to the highest level of health and safety while providing the most reliable and competitive service available.

Man and Van Kingston upon Thames

June 8th, 2009

man and van kinston logoSitting on the banks of the Thames, Kingston has become a recent tourist attraction for those British holiday makers keen to save some pennies and the environmentally conscious public, who don’t want to holiday abroad. Man and Van Kingston can empathise and provides a competitive light removals service for those on a budget and always provides a reliable man with a van, who considers the environment. For Man and Vans competitive price list click on the link – man and van price list – and for Man and Vans consideration of the environment view man and vans environmental policy.

Man and Van Kingston is keen to support those wanting to move in the Royal Borough and wants to highlight some of the great attractions that are bringing tourists this summer.  The name Kingston is derived from the famous Anglo Saxon Coronation Stone (pictured), which now stands outside the local council office, the Guildhall.  Seven Anglo-Saxon Monarchs have actually been crowned on the stone from Edward the Elder, son of Alfred the Great, to Ethelred the Unready. The monument has seven coins set into the base of the stone from each of the king’s reigns. man and van kingston stone 225x300 Man and Van Kingston are London’s specialist in light removals but Man and Vans feels confident that it would be able to safely deliver the Coronation Stone to a new site if it was called to help.

As well as the beautiful natural gardens of Richmond Park that can be found along the banks of the Thames, Kingston is also famous for the Benatlls Centre. Started by Frank Bentall in 1867 the modern Bentalls Centre on Clarence Street holds a plethora of shops from Calvin Klien to H&M. Man and Van Kingston, London’s leading light removal service, can help you pick up your bigger purchases from the Bentalls Centre.

Man and Van consider the Rightmove

June 1st, 2009

man and van housing price rise graph 300x277

Man and Vans, London’s leading light removals service, is looking forward to a busy time as house prices rose this May by the greatest amount in six years. Rightmove has published its latest price index showing this month’s average asking price for houses as £227,441, compared to £222,077 in April, a 2.4 per cent rise. Optimists are hoping this increase, the largest since Rightmove began the index in 2003, will signal the end of falling house prices and a move out of recession.

London house prices reflected the national trend rising 2.7 per cent to £397,646. Man and Van Brent is particularly optimistic with house prices in this borough rising by 2.8 per cent, the greatest amount in London. By Contrast Man and Van Ealing are less optimistic as house prices in this West London borough have actually fallen by 7.8 per cent.

Man and Vans company director Robert Innes isn’t too optimistic regarding these figures; “This increase in house prices could be seen as a positive sign for the housing market but here at Man and Vans we’re remaining cautious. London house prices are still nearly £7,000 lower than May of last year and until prices rise to these similar levels we expect people to stay where they are. Man and Vans are committed to providing the most competitive prices in this time of recession. Those who are looking to move will find Man and Vans their best option.” To view man and vans prices follow this link – man and vans price list.

Righmove’s results seem to support the ideas of the Man and Van’s owner. Just 11,478 new London homes came on to the market over the last month, compared to 33,479 over the same period last year. Prices may be rising but fewer people seem to be cashing in on these prices and are deciding to stay where they are.
