Helen Thring
Marketing & Operations Manager
Helen is Nick’s sister and she successfully set up and established our Lettings Department back in 2013. Having spent much of her career prior to DY working in marketing, Helen now heads up our Marketing & Operations department. This suits her organisational skills, creativity and keen eye for detail perfectly! She loves taking long walks with her Labrador Finn and when time permits, travelling and visiting new places around the globe.
Top of my bucket list is…
To keep travelling, visit more new countries and ultimately, one day explore Europe in a (very comfortable!) camper van.
My guilty pleasure…
Ben & Jerry’s cookie dough ice cream. Probably best to just not buy it!
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
Less shy/more confident. Still working on it…
If I were a superhero, my superpower would be…
To help find a cure for cancer and dementia. Here’s hoping.
On Sunday morning, you can usually find me…
Up bright and early for a long dog walk in the countryside.
You might be surprised to know that…
One of my earliest qualifications as a teenager was as a Clarks trained shoe fitter. Ohh, all those back to school shoes!

July 2018 saw a landmark event in the UK’s property sector with the first transfer of all Local Land Charge information from Warwick District Council to HM Land Registry.
The data is now held digitally by HM Land Registry meaning that anyone buying property within the district will now be able to apply for their searches online via HM Land Registry. Not only will this simplify and vastly speed up the conveyancing process, but it will reduce costs too. You can now apply online for a formal search for just £15!
The Local Land Charge (LLC) data for a further 26 local authorities is scheduled to be transferred to HM Land Registry later this year with others to follow.
Along with your mortgage application and verification process, the application for searches is probably THE primary factor in slowing down sales with some local authorities taking up to 6 weeks to return a search request. This instant online facility should speed up the entire process and eventually mean that property transactions should be simpler and swifter than ever before.
