It's National Fish and Chip Day today, marking the 10th Anniversary of celebrating our beloved national dish. Which is quite the coincidence as Haig Legal Group also happens to be 10 years old!

The creation of this crispy, fried dish dates back all the way to the 19th century.

What's your go-to order at the chippy?

Today is the Day of Arafah and so we would like to wish an Eid al-Adha Mubarak to all those who celebrate.

This Festival of Sacrifice follows the sighting of the new moon and so changes every year.

We are pleased to announce that Senior Manager, Georgia Townsend, has passed her exams and completed the final assignment for her CILEX Level 6 Qualification in Law and Practice.

At Northwood Banks we have many CILEX qualified professionals that we are excited for her to join.

โ€œPersistence is keyโ€, is what she told us after explaining the long and busy process it took to get here.

Her hard work has paid off, but she may not be stopping just yet.

We found time to discuss this with her further: https://www.northwoodbanks.com/post/georgia-townsend-cilex-level-6

Itโ€™s Mental Health Awareness Week. With just a few days left, it is our hope that awareness continues throughout the year.

At Northwood Banks, we have been following the weekโ€™s theme of โ€˜Choiceโ€™, whether that is making the decision to choose yourself, your loved ones, or your home. Here are some simple choices we recommend at home:

- Implement softer lighting in living areas.
- Tidy your space five minutes a day for a tidy mind.
- Make the decision to live more sustainably.
- Begin thinking about how a Trust can protect your home.

Alzheimer's Society, our charity partner, support people who do not always have the luxury of controlling their home environment. If you have the means, any donations would be warmly welcomed.

Types Of Property Ownership In The UK
The three main types of property ownership in the UK are Sole Ownership, Joint Tenants, and Tenants in Common.

Sole Ownership
In many ways Sole Ownership is the most straightforward. Only one individual is the legal owner, possessing 100% of the property. Unless there is a change against the property, for example a mortgage, nobody can claim any part of it.
If the sole owner is in a relationship, their partner / spouse is not on the deed and will not automatically inherit the property should the owner pass on. The property will only be passed on according to the ownerโ€™s Will.

Joint Tenancy
Joint Tenancy is the most common form of ownership. This type is most often used by couples. With this form of ownership both partners own the property together, with neither of them having a specific share of the equity.
Joint Tenancy includes what is known as the โ€˜right of survivorshipโ€™. This is where, should one of the owners pass away, the other inherits 100% of the property automatically. While this might seem ideal it can and does have some inherent pitfalls.

Tenants in Common
Slightly more complicated than Joint Tenants, Tenants in Common is a form of ownership where each partner has a specific share in the property. This is usually 50% / 50% but does not necessarily have to be so. While this may appear to be the same as Joint Tenants a key difference is that neither party automatically inherits their spouseโ€™s share when they pass away.
This allows both individuals to plan who they leave their share to when they pass away, independent of the other. This often includes leaving their share in Trust for their children while the surviving partner can also still live at the property.

Choosing the most appropriate form of property ownership requires taking expert legal advice and making the best decision for you.

Since our acquisition by the HAIG Legal Group at the end of 2022, we have seen many exciting changes at Northwood Banks, including winning nationwide awards and moving to larger, improved offices in Lincoln.

As part of this journey, we are delighted to share in the HAIG Legal Group 10th Anniversary. Group founders Andy Townsend, Ian Peace, and Helen Claydon launched the business in 2016, with 19 members of staff and a seven figure turnover in the first year. Ten years later after strong and steady growth the group now employs over 150 staff, has provided documents for around 220,000 clients, and manages ยฃ1.2 billion of client assets as professional trustees. This level of sustainable growth has seen the group become one of the largest companies in the sector of private client legal services.

To celebrate this milestone, and share this success, the group threw a glittering black tie ball for employees of all group companies in March. Held at the Lincoln Hilton Doubletree, the evening was a huge success with over 100 employees enjoying fine dining, dancing and prize giving.

With big plans in place for the next decade the HAIG Legal Group is not sitting on its laurels and we are excited to be along on the journey.
