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, visiting 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 just not to 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 country.
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!

Unlike broadband, gas, electricity and oil, saving money on your water bill is largely down to one thing, namely using less water! This, of course, assumes that the water you are using is metered in the first place.
If your home is not metered then your water bill will be based upon the notional value of your home as indicated in your council’s banding and whether or not your home is draining to drains or a private septic tank. If the latter, you shouldn’t have to pay for the maintenance of mains drainage and your bill should be reduced accordingly.
Deciding whether or not you should have a meter will largely be dependent on the council tax banding your home falls within and whether you live there alone and rarely water the garden or have a bath, or on the other hand, you live there with a large family, refill the swimming pool once a year and wash your fleet of range rovers every weekend prior to turning on the lawn sprinklers! If you use a lot of water, not being metered might still be the best option.
Assuming you are metered (or you just feel a responsibility to reduce waste of natural resources) there are several things you might consider to help reduce your water usage. They include;
