In light of current market conditions (which are sadly rather difficult to avoid) PaD Magazine has elected to combine its June and July/August issues into a single summer 2008 edition. For want of taking an honest approach, we felt this not only allowed us to continue to produce a quality publication, but offered some time to take stock with a view to returning afresh in September.
This edition is sponsored by Crosby Lend Lease, who's greenquarter scheme in Manchester is really starting to blossom. With the help of its incentive scheme, 'Assist', first-time buyers are finally making it onto the ladder - we meet one of them. Other features include a Property Survival Guide, an overview of the mortgage market alongside property experts' forecasts for the future of the residential sector.
From all the team at PaD, we hope you have a fantastic summer - see you in September!

Assist
As the UK housing market looks set to face its biggest challenge since the early 90s, the plight of first-time buyers is becoming ominously apparent. Perhaps one of the industry's finest responses is 'Assist', a unique incentive programme from Crosby Lend Lease. Designed to offer both practical advice and financial assistance to the growing number of struggling first-timers, the tailor-made packages cover a mix of solicitors' fees, mortgage survey fees, stamp duty, service charges, deposits and removal costs.
