Help Grant Property support a child in crisis this Christmas

As we get ever closer to Christmas, Grant Property employees have once again decided to buy gifts for children that will be donated directly to Barnardo's.

We have donated gifts to Barnardo's over the past few years, and we are absolutely delighted to support them once again - they truly are an amazing charity.

Barnardo’s transforms the lives of the most vulnerable children across the UK through the work of their projects, campaigning and research expertise.

They work with over 200,000 children, young people and their families each year, through 900 community projects, and we hope our gifts will help bring a smile to a child’s face this Christmas.

Last year, people's unwanted items raised over £10 million towards transforming the lives of vulnerable and disadvantaged children and young people across the UK.

If you could help us donate Christmas presents or unwanted gifts, we would really appreciate your support.

You can donate by simply buying a small gift for a child, from new born to 16, for either boy or girl, and handing it into your local Grant Property branch.

No matter how much we raise, we sincerely hope that we can contribute in some small way to Barnardo's - and we hope that our donations will make it a very Merry Christmas for all this year.

Grant Property's Top Winter Weather Tips

With the festive period now fast approaching, we want to make sure you are ready for the winter weather, regardless of whether you are staying in your property or if you are away for the Christmas break.

With this in mind, we have pulled together the top tips of what you can do to help keep your property secure and safe during the colder weather.

How can I reduce condensation?

Make full use of extractor fans and hoods, do not dry clothes on radiators, and use the washer dryer or a clothes airer.

How can I avoid mould?

Minimise the moisture in the air of your property by keeping heating on low and opening your windows as much as possible to ventilate the rooms. Wipe and remove any condensation regularly. Remove mould using an anti-fungicidal wash with a clean cloth, so it doesn’t spread.

How do I save energy in the winter, when I need to have my heating and electrics on?

Keep your heating on low and constant; this saves money instead of being on high and sporadic. Turn off all electrical appliances if not in use, do not leave them on standby.

I am going home for the holidays, how can I make sure my pipes don’t freeze?

The best thing to do is set your central heating system so it is on constant at the frost setting or at 10 degrees. This will save you money and is easy to do; just read your instruction manual.

Should I turn the water off if the flat will be empty as we are on holiday?

Yes, the water to the flat should be turned off at the stop cock if you will not be at the property for a prolonged period of time.

What do I do if I have an emergency out with office hours?

Call our ‘Out of Hours Emergency Line’ on 0131 220 6360. If you are transferred to voicemail, please leave a message stating your name, property address, contact number and brief details of your emergency.
