    Dilapidation Sting

    I do want to listen to advice and experiences, which thankfully I've had both. No interest in a singular opinion with so many presumptions. Read back your posts, patronising at best.

    Dilapidation Sting

    I've already spoken to a solicitor, I was just asking people for previous experiences of this situation. The lease was downloaded as a standard document, so I do know that it hasn't been changed. Also, neither do I think can you speak on behalf of everybody on here. As regards to a sticky...

    Clause 4 on this is titled 'Use'?

    Dilapidation Sting

    It’s been back up to let for two weeks and they’ve had viewings. Ironically using our pics we sent to them to prove it was empty and in good repair.

    Dilapidation Sting

    Unfortunately the solicitor didn’t mention anything about it. I’ve just been looking through the lease and this is the clause about the end. 15. when this lease ends the tenant is to: 15.1 Return the property to the landlord leaving in the state and condition in which this lease requires the...

    Dilapidation Sting

    Hello, I've not posted for about erm 7 years, but anyhow. We have recently left our previous shop of 12 years and moved to new premises. We thought we had tied up all the loose ends, left the premises in a tidy, well maintained state and tried to settle our account with the letting agents on...

    Second Shop

    Thank you, that's pretty much exactly what my husband said, although it pains me to say it :) Just need to think of an add-on name then! As part of the deal with the council we actually have to take the adjoining shop on as well. In the trial period we are going to fit this out as a mens...

    Second Shop

    It's not a million miles away, just a few brands that are for the older market (40+) that we will be leaving behind and maybe taking on a few newer younger ones. My friend suggested our name at the moment and incorporating a new one into it, not come up with anything so far! Got the draft lease...

    Second Shop

    Building a brand is a bit what? :) I'm tempted, but the easy way out is to trade on our name I think, or maybe a play on our existing name... I can't decide what to do, but we do want to attract a younger customer.

    Second Shop

    Thank you. I don't know much about fat face, what do you they do with their shop design? By the sounds of it, I think it may be what I have in mind. Keep the key elements (our signature stripes for example) but move some of the fittings on, I want it to look more urban whereas the first shop is...

    Second Shop

    We've had our first shop open for five years now and are in the midst of taking a second one on for a trial six month period. My husband thinks we should use the same name for the second one, although the target customer will be slightly younger than our current one and subsequently willl be...

    Engaging with customers

    I always say hello! I then leave them to it until they linger/show interest around a particular item, at which point I ask if they need any help. Quite often they seem relieved and say something along the lines of "I've got a party to go to and I'm looking for a dress.." etc, which then gives me...

    International Shipping

    I sent a leather jacket to Norway and the customer says that she has to pay additional taxes of £78! Have I done something wrong? I insured it for £300, is that was has happened? Seems very steep :mad:
