Outfoxing the recession

Advice on  how to turn a depressing time into good news.  Here are tips for private individuals and businesses.

JUMP AT THE OPPORTUNITIES

VAT & STAMP DUTY holidays - Down at Rowberry Morris solicitors in lawyer land – Castle Street, Reading we are busy.  Jump at the low VAT rate before it goes up in January.  Buy a house during this stamp duty break.  Take advice on a  fixed interest loan/mortgage.

Starting a business?  Landlords will do you a great deal at the moment with a rent free initial period and no rent review for a long time.  Let your solicitor help negotiate the best terms – including a break clause. He will know expert negotiators in town. Don’t kick yourself later when you find how much better you could have done.

Personal injury claim?  Get Tax free damages under a no win no free agreement.  A solicitor on the Solicitors Regulation Authority approved accreditation scheme, will provide a fair form of agreement and use expert skills to guide you through the maze.  Avoid glossy claims companies who may sell your claim to be dealt with by an unqualified clerk using a computer system which does not care about you.
