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!
On Sunday morning, you can usually find me…
Up bright and early for a long dog walk in the countryside.
My worst fashion mistake was…
I grew up in the 80’s – far too many to mention!
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
Less shy/more confident. Still working on it…
You might be surprised to know that…
One of my earliest qualifications as a teenager was as a Clarks trained shoe fitter. Oh, all those back to school shoes!
11 Jun 2021
The month-long football fest AKA the Euros 2021 kicks off today. And the home nations of England, Scotland, and Wales are all competing to win the crown of the best national side in Europe.
A win for England would be priceless, and we thought it might be a bit of fun to look at how property prices compare across the continent.
So, we jumped on Google to see what the average prices for a place to call home are in the following eight countries taking part in the 24-nation tournament. (Stats taken from 2020 – 2021 unless noted.)
England – £268,000
Wales – £178,907
Scotland – £164,099
France – £200,241
Across other parts of Europe, the focus is on the average price based on a square metre of the property.
Germany – £2,922 – per square metre (psm)
Portugal – £964 – psm
Spain – £2,071 – psm (based on new build properties)
Switzerland – £5,078 – psm
To give you an idea for comparison, the average price psm across England and Wales was £2,954 (Jan 2021) and in Scotland £1,579 (2018).
And just like top tier footballers, the average values depend on how in-demand the areas are. The cost of properties in many of the countries above is much higher in cities and areas where people buy holiday/second homes.
At Duncan Yeardley we can’t predict with any guarantee who will win the Euros when it concludes at Wembley Stadium on 11 July, but we can guarantee you a champion level of service if you choose us to help with your move!
Thanks for reading and C’mon England!
