Taking a Gap Year / Sabbatical?

Are you thinking of taking a career break and taking yourself or your family travelling for a year? If you would like a reliable and trustworthy person to manage your UK affairs while you are away, such as managing your banking, monitoring your credit cards, managing your post and looking after your property which you may have let out, then do contact me.  I have just successfully done this for another Client and can do the same for you. To offer an insight into what was involved, please see their testimonial below:

From July 2009 until August 2010 we went on a family gap year to the Americas. The planning of the trip took two years and the renting and organisation of our personal effects a year in advance. This process was made significantly easier with the use of Bellevue PA. Prior to our trip we worked with Sarah so she was familiar with all our personal administration and also the management of our property. We left the house exactly as it was and Sarah literally took over and did not stop until our return.

During our time away, Sarah managed all our banking, monitored our credit cards and post which was fortunate as certain things cropped up, e.g. fraudulent use of a credit card and expired driving licence which without Sarah being here in the UK would have proved difficult to manage and would have eaten into our adventure abroad.

Sarah also managed our property brilliantly. Working and coordinating with all third parties, ensuring items were serviced when they should be and basically being there for the tenants and reducing our involvement. We left the house with everything in situ and Sarah organised the removal of all our furniture, possessions into storage and we returned to a clean and organised house; it was as if we had not been away.

The key to the success of this arrangement was that we, as a family, were able to enjoy our gap year with only minimal interruption. We were able to embark and enjoy this adventure of a lifetime knowing that someone who was highly efficient and that we could trust with our personal information was in a position to handle the 'everyday' life we had left behind for us.
