Property information from this agent

Places of interest

    P. A. Jones Property Solutions (formerly Bidwells) has been established since 1977. Peter Jones purchased the business in November 2004 from Stephen Bidwell. In September 2013 he decided that it was the right time to place his name above the door so the business was re-named  P. A. Jones Property Solutions. Virtually all of the current staff have been with the company for over ten years, therefore we have a loyal and stable Sales and Management team within the company. P A Jones is an independently run Estate Agency that offers Sales, Lettings and Property Management. As an independent business we pride ourselves on our open, honest approach and first rate personal customer service.  We specialise in the sales and letting of Residential Property in the Caterham and surrounding areas which include Coulsdon, Old Coulsdon, Purley, Whyteleafe, Kenley, Chaldon, Warlingham, Godstone, Bletchingley and surrounding towns and villages in East Surrey. We can also provide mortgage advice via a locally based Independent Mortgage Adviser who is able to quote on the whole of the mortgage market. We have close links with local Solicitors and also have access to a ‘No Sale, No Fee’ Conveyancing Company as an alternative legal option when selling or purchasing a property. Our Letting Office is located next to our Sales Office and therefore we are inter-linked and are able to communicate effectively, exchange ideas and work together promoting property in the Caterham and surrounding area. Many clients often ask us to value their property to sell or rent, mainly due to the change in the mortgage market whereby sellers can, in some cases, rent out their current home and purchase another property independently without selling. The close link between Sales & Lettings allows us to do this and offer clear and concise advice on the clients’ options when moving. Also, there are many people who are considering investing in a property to rent out to improve their income and benefits upon retirement, instead of relying on a private pension which hasn’t been performing to expectation over recent years. We are in an excellent position to advise on rental income, suitability of the property to rent and what would need to be improved to obtain the best possible rent to the best tenant. For an excellent service, honest and realistic advice on selling or letting your property, call ‘The Property Experts’ in Caterham, P. A. Jones Property Solutions.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on December 21, 2021

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on December 28, 2021

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
