Do you have a mobile phone which is capable of allowing you to browse websites?
Rather than create an iPhone application we have recognised that many mobile phone users do not have iPhones, yet their handsets are as capable as the iPhone in using 3G or Wi Fi connections to surf the net!
www.snape.mobi is our website condensed for mobile phone internet use and has simple functions to allow you to search for the price of a property or perhaps see what else is on the market around you!
If you have an iPhone you can also save our mobile site home page as a one touch application icon to allow instant access, without the cost of having to buy an application or logging into iTunes first.
Simply type www.snape.mobi into your web browser on your mobile phone...WHAT EVER the model or make (as long as you have a mobile activated phone) and you can search through the Andrew Snape Stock where ever you are. (subject to network connectivity)
In early 2011 we are hoping to apply a GPS function which will allow you to search based on your location, meaning an even faster and streamlined service!
For more information contact Richard Pickford on 0161 456 5505 or email richard@andrewsnape.com
Finally have a Happy Christmas from all of the Andrew Snape team!

A GIFT TO YOU!
There is no doubt that one of the major hurdles for any buyer in todays property market is the amount of deposit money needed to help fund your purchase and get the best mortgage deal! you may have a small deposit or none at all.....either way we may be able to help!
We now have a selection of houses which are offering up to 5% gifted deposits (subject to offer). If you are eligable for a mortgage which allows you to use a gifted deposit this could well be the answer to owning your own home.
Whether you have no deposit and need help starting out or perhaps you have 5% or more already and a futher 5% will mean you get a much better interest rate, one of our selected houses may well be your chance to get moving.
Not everyone will meet the criteria set out by the mortgage lenders who support these deals, but by calling our offices you will be able to find out if you can get one and if we have a vendor who will contribute towards your deposit.
More good news is that even if we dont have the right property for you, we may still be able to help you buy from another agent on the same scheme, simply call us to find out more!
Your house may be at risk if you dont keep up repayments or any other loans secured against it.

FTB's Do they need more mortgage help?
As reported on the BBC News website - Is this really the case?
Below is the recent article published on the BBC News Website dated 16th March 2010
First Time Buyers Face Prices Rises!
First-time buyers faced house prices that were 8.9% higher in January than a year earlier, government figures show.
The average price paid by those buying their first UK home was £149,924 in January, the Department of Communities and Local Government (DCLG) said.
This rose by 0.2% compared with December and was part of a general rise in UK house prices.
Mortgage lenders are still being fussy over custom, including requiring a significant deposit from new borrowers.
The Financial Services Authority said that the proportion of new lending at a loan-to-value of more than 90% accounted for less than 2% of new advances in the final three months of 2009.
Values rise
The DCLG said that average UK house prices were 2.2% higher in January than in December, with the typical home costing £207,159. This was 6.2% up on January 2009, the department said.
The less volatile three-month on three-month measure showed that prices rose by 4.8%.
The biggest rises have been in Scotland, but prices continued to fall in Northern Ireland.
On a regional level in England, prices fell by 1.5% in the North East, but rose by 8.1% in the South East.
