Americans Looking To Save Money On Lawn Care

Leave a comment

[Lebanon, CT] – May 4, 2011 – The United States has long been known as a place where well kept and vibrant green lawns stretch from home to sidewalk in countless neighborhoods from sea to shining sea, at least in the popular imagination. While today the economy is not quite as robust as it must have been during the 1950’s when Hollywood and advertisers popularized that image of America, it is certainly still something that many Americans view as the proper look for a home here. However, there is certainly a cost to attempting to achieve this kind of look. While many lawn care companies exist around the nation today, not that many people can afford such services when the budget is so tight that a lot of people are still losing their homes to foreclosures. At the same time, having a well kept lawn is not only an important factor in the price that one tends to get if they ever decide to sell their home, it is also mandatory to make sure that the right kind of lawn repair is kept up with in many neighborhoods across the country where neighborhood covenants or housing association agreements are in effect. This is the reason that more people are casting a curious eye towards methods that can help them achieve that attractive lawn they desire without back breaking effort or expensive services.

This is the primary reason that the Grass Stitcher was first invented. This revolutionary new tool allows the average home owner or renter to do their own grass repair at a fraction of what it would cost them to hire someone else to do the job. At the same time, the tool works so well that it is used not only by lawn care pros, but also by first class golf courses that rely on it to help keep the green looking spotless for their customers. A great looking lawn is big business in the hospitality and property management industries so since the Grass Stitcher works well for them, home landscaping experts suggest that it would work quite well for just about anyone. With an innovative design that requires no fossil fuels or even electricity to make it work, this product is also a green solution for achieving that spotless lawn look we all admire.

To learn more about the Grass Stitcher today, visit http://www.grassstitcher.com for a full list of its cost cutting benefits and to see a video of how it works to achieve a gorgeous lawn.

Factoring Helping Ease The Burden On Companies Seeking Consistent Cash Flow

Leave a comment

[Council Bluffs, IA] – May 4, 2011 – The trucking industry has long been said to be the backbone of the United States and today it is just as important as ever before according to contemporary economists. Without this kind of flexibility in getting products from one place to the next, commerce in America could well come to a stand still. This is why for those who work in the freight delivery business, being able to stay in business is an obvious concern. Due to the way the trucking world works, however, that can sometimes be easier said than done. Many of today’s truck drivers have to wait to be paid until after they make a delivery. With the cost of fuel rising, this can put their entire enterprise at risk. This includes not only solo truck drivers who work independently, but also trucking companies with several trucks on the road at any given time. A solution is needed when cash flow is at risk and this is why freight factoring is being considered more important today than ever before. With this type of service, modern drivers are able to collect funds against their unpaid clients and allow the factoring company to go to work on their behalf to make sure they get paid. Those with experience say that this is one of the most important tools a beginning driver can use to get their business built up faster.

Cash flow has always been a concern for any company and this is where Global Financial Factoring has decided to focus. They help those in the freight trucking world keep their working capital high enough to carry on with business as usual. Aside from the clear benefits of lower stress for drivers, the factoring services offered often mean that clients will pay their bill faster since it is presented to them in a way that has been proven to get clients to take the invoice more seriously. After 15 years in the industry, Global Financial Factoring has fine tuned their techniques for eliciting payment by understanding both sides of a freight invoice. Truckers who use this service are getting paid faster as a result of this and being able to avoid the banks that are far less likely to approve loans in this current era.

Those who would like to learn more about what this kind of factoring can offer them should visit http://www.globalfinancialfactoring.com/, the company’s web site. Or they can call 877-278-3459 to speak with someone via phone.

How Best to Ensure Your Unusual Property is Protected

Leave a comment

While most houses owned by buy-to-let landlords tend to be relatively conventional in construction, this is by no means always the case. ‘Standard’ or ‘conventional’ construction is generally defined as applying to properties built of bricks with a slate or tiled roof. Obvious examples of non-standard properties include timber-built premises and those with thatched roofs, there are however many other forms of construction that demand special attention from insurance companies.

Perhaps one of the most common non-standard forms of building was once the post-World War 2 prefabricated home. But there have been many periods in the past when the need for rapid construction of homes has led to some experiments with building techniques, as well as some of the more deliberate attempts to create unique properties. Building regulations before the mid 20th Century were far less restrictive than latterly and this could have resulted in some unusual builds.

Premiums

One of the questions insurance companies ask, when you take out a Landlord Insurance policy with them, relates to the construction of the property. As a general rule, in the event of inability to confirm that the property is of standard construction, many insurance companies will ask for an additional premium.

Difficulties and delays with claims

It is important to be aware that non-standard construction could lead to delays – and additional costs – in rebuilding after a fire or other damage. This means that care must be taken in assessing the right level of sum insured for the property. Where special materials have to be obtained to match existing ones, this can add considerably to the rebuilding cost and thus the amount of cover required.

The most obvious example of this is where the property is ‘listed’ and has to be rebuilt in a particular form and using as nearly as possible original materials. This can be very costly and you should seek professional advice if you own a listed building.

Making Sure

If you are uncertain about the construction of your building, you should ask for help; it is better to take a little extra care, than to find that your landlords’ insurance is inadequate, when the time comes for a claim.

Getting the Right Advice

It is important to seek independent professional advice before making any decision about your property owners’ property and liability insurance as well as your financial obligations. You should always ask your insurance advisers like Alan Boswell Insurance Brokers what experience they have of dealing with residential and/or commercial rental property insurance.

Nothing contained in the article should be considered as giving individual financial advice. Please note that there may be variations for those living in or letting property located in Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Leave a comment

Pickfords, one of the UK’s leading removal and storage companies add to their existing portfolio of services by launching a home contents insurance comparison website.

Russell Start, Managing Director, says, “Moving home is a great time to consider reviewing your home contents insurance. We know our customers assess the value of their goods prior to moving home. We aim to make the process as easy as possible and to help our customers save money and time by connecting them to some great offers that are not available on the open market.”

Pickfords has negotiated a range of discounts and offers with insurance providers and can connect its customers to offers for home and contents insurance, lettings property insurance and vacant property insurance.

Russell Start goes onto say, “Home contents insurance can be a thing that is easily overlooked when moving house but has the potential to be a very costly oversight. By drawing customers attention to our recently launched home contents insurance comparison website we hope that they will take advantage of the special discounts on offer or at least help them remember to renew/amend their existing policy.”

An insurance quoting engine has been created on the Pickfords website so customers can log in, fill out a simple form and the engine searches for the best deals negotiated by Pickfords. Pickfords customers can also request a call from an expert to discuss their particular circumstances and requirements.

Vacation Planning Being Made Easier Thanks To Widespread Web Access

Leave a comment

May 4, 2011 – The internet has long been a key source of information for those who regularly turn to it and these days, as access to the web becomes far more prevalent thanks to the proliferation of mobile devices, it is where people turn for everything having to do with travel and vacations. Due to the rich amount of information on all of the possibilities that travel offers people today, it is easy for even those with little to no prior travel experience to find nearly anything they might need in order to plan and enjoy a trip to all points of the globe. In the United States, many people are finding that this is an excellent way for them to discover new locations that they might not have visited before, both home and abroad. That is definitely making things a great deal easier for them when it comes to being able to get the most out of their experience. Since they are able to hop online and find vacation ideas that do not come from a specific travel agent who is trying to sell them a particular package, they feel that they are getting much higher quality information. In fact, this is now one way that travel industry experts say consumers are finding and planning their own trips.

For those who have a family, this can be a good way to be able to get the opinions of everyone by showing them preview photos and info about possible destinations. That is a good way, say those who champion this style of research, to get everyone on the same page about any particular destination. It is also possible to view videos and other types of featured content about nearly any place on Earth where tourism is offered. This is changing the way that consumers approach their vacations and putting the power in their hands to make much more educated decisions about where they might want to go. From a romantic get away to Europe to a nature hike in a remote rural location in America to an educational expedition to a rain forest locale that teaches about the Earth, the options go on and on for those who are excited about discovering all of their travel options.

If you are thinking about planning a trip yourself, a visit to FunVacationIdeas.com will offer you quite a lot of information to help you make the best possible decision.

Combined with the fact that a lot of cyclists love to travel, more doors are opening up now for those who want to be able to see the world by bike. While many countries are considered, Europe tends to be a favorite, according to those in the travel industry, due to the fact that it has a very well developed infrastructure that includes plenty of paved roads, medical services, a stable social climate and many things to experience that are unique to each country. In addition to the fact that this is a health boosting form of travel, it is also Earth friendly, something many people today are highly concerned with.

What To Do When Your Property Has Extended Un-Occupancy

Leave a comment

Landlords can find their premises unoccupied for extended periods for a number of reasons; for example, simply because one tenant leaves and it takes time to find an acceptable replacement or, in more severe cases, because the area is changing in character and prospective tenants are thin on the ground. Or it may be that you have decided to sell the property and do not want sitting tenants slowing the process down.

Steps to take

Whatever the reason, you must advise your Landlord Insurance company or broker that the premises are empty because this can have an effect on the policy – it may also be a policy condition that you do so, unless the period is very short, perhaps less than three or four weeks. During a period of unoccupancy, certain covers may be excluded, such as water damage and malicious damage.

Protecting your interests

Simply advising your property owners’ insurance company is not enough, however. You also need to take active steps to protect your property by inspecting the premises internally and externally at least every seven days, having previously taken all reasonable steps to make sure that the premises are secure.

Good practice suggests that water and other services should, where practical, be drained down &/or switched off – unless, of course, you have a sprinkler or alarm system that requires power or water, or a central heating system is being run to protect the building from frost damage. Any combustible or waste material should be removed from the premises and the property should be kept in a good state of repair.

Failure of duty

Depending on the type of policy you have, some of these precautions may be policy conditions and failure to comply could invalidate your insurance altogether – or at least allow the insurance company significantly to reduce the amount of any claim that you may have to make. Your landlords’ insurance policy may carry an excess in the event of a water damage or malicious damage claim while the premises are unoccupied.

Getting the right advice

It is important to seek independent professional advice before making any decision about your property owners’ property and liability insurance as well as your financial obligations. You should always ask your insurance advisers like Alan Boswell Insurance Brokers what experience they have of dealing with residential and/or commercial rental property insurance.
