🚨 LEASEHOLDERS THIS IS BIG 🚨

Ground rents on existing leasehold homes are set to be capped at £250 a year from 2028 🏠

Why this matters ⬇️
❌ High ground rents have blocked remortgages
❌ Impacted affordability
❌ Made some flats hard to sell

This change could:
✅ Improve mortgage options
✅ Reduce lender restrictions
✅ Make leasehold homes more attractive to buyers

⚠️ Worth noting: this is a cap, not a peppercorn rent and full reform could still take years.

If you own a leasehold property and you’re thinking about selling, remortgaging, or buying, now’s the time to understand how this affects you.

Ready for a sustainable nutritional reset? Our New Forest clinic offers a science-led plan tailored for adults 30–60 to support long-term slimming alongside our nutrition-focused treatments. Three evidence-based adjustments we often use: 1) Prioritise protein at each meal to preserve lean mass and curb cravings. 2) Swap refined carbs for fibre-rich whole foods to stabilise blood sugar and reduce hunger. 3) Time meals and include balanced snacks to support metabolism and adherence. These are delivered as personalised recommendations during our clinical consultations — not quick fixes.

I’ve just received some of the feedbacks from my couples who voted for me in the wedding awards last year.

Reviews like this mean the world to me.

When couples book me, I’m not just designing their dried florals, I’m listening. I’m
learning who they are, what matters to them, how they want their day to feel.

I want to understand their personalities, their story and their vision -so the flowers truly reflect them.

That connection is what allows me to create dried floral styling that feels personal, thoughtful and completely right for each couple. Supporting couples through the process, guiding them and being there on the day is just as important to me as the blooms themselves.

Thankyou to all my couples for trusting me with something special.

If I could bottle this feeling, I would.
