ecause we try harder…
A recent survey, in ‘Which’ magazine, identified that buying
a house is one of the most stressful experiences in life that
we face in the modern world.
Many people desperately want to get onto the property
ladder. Others want to make a house move or invest in
property. Alarmingly, the ‘Which’ report stated that buying
a house is more stressful than having a child, changing your
employment or retiring from work to enjoy our leisure.
As to finding the right house… that’s possibly the easy part!
Stoneacre Mortgages take pride in their mission statement
‘because we try harder’ and to this end we recognised that
the financial advice a client has, is an essential part of the
house buying process.
Our advisors have a wealth of knowledge and we pride
ourselves on being abreast of what is changing in this ever
shifting market of mortgages.
It is vital that prior to finding your ‘new home’ you have your
financial arrangements in place. This is a competitive market
and a seller wants a buyer who has their finances in place
and is ready to go!
You can arrange an appointment with one of our qualified
Mortgage Advisors. Initial meetings are without any
obligation and charge – it’s a discussion where you can talk
about your plans, your needs and what your priorities are in
because we try harder…
Most people know Stoneacre Properties as a relative
newcomer but the origins of Stoneacre Commercial predate
our residential sector by some 20 years. During this
time we have built up a wealth of knowledge & expertise to
compete and thrive in today’s changing commercial property
market.

Stoneacre Properties - supporting the
North Leeds Community!
A few years ago, Stoneacre Properties established a
community fund aimed at helping community causes in the
North Leeds Branch area. Managing Director, Ben Jacobs
said at the time, this was in response to the warm welcome
the estate agency had received since opening in Chapel
Allerton.
“We were delighted by the welcome we initially received in
the North Leeds community and hope our community fund
can continually contribute to events that not only benefit our
neighbours but help us to get to know them better at all times.
Stoneacre sign sponsorship deal with New
Rover Cricket Club
When Stoneacre Properties’ MD, Ben Jacobs, was asked
by New Rover Cricket Club – based at Adel, Leeds - if
Stoneacre would consider sponsorship there was no
hesitation: -
Says Ben,
“New Rover is a very successful cricket club with a long history
of winning ways so we’re looking forward very much to help with
further successes...”
Club Vice-Chairman Michael Richmond says the club was
founded in 1934 and originally played on Roundhay Park’s
Soldiers’ Field until Michael’s father bought their present
ground: -
“Under the careful management of groundsman Keith Boyce
–the former Yorkshire CC groundsman – the new facility has
witnessed pre-Test Match practices by the England cricket team
and Yorkshire CC and is attracting many new players.
Ben commented that the three-year deal agreed with New
Rover is a win-win for both parties and we are particularly
proud that the Stoneacre logo features prominently on the
ground hoarding...
“Due to its location, approximately 25,000 vehicles pass that
hoarding every day so that’s an extra bonus for both parties!”
Michael says the sponsorship by Stoneacre has created much
interest – not only from the Club’s fans and followers but
also from further possible sponsorship opportunities.
Anyone requesting a donation from the “Stoneacre
Community Fund” should send an e-mail to:
info@stoneacreproperties.co.uk giving a brief resume of
what the donation is required for and how Stoneacre might
be able to help. Contact/telephone details should also be
included. All enquiries will receive a response whether or
not Stoneacre are able to help.
