EXCUSE ME NO ONE TOLD ME THAT IAN AND BARBARA KISS IN THE CRUSADERS NOVEL
Cake and tea (or coffee) for Valentine’s day, because it was a shame how long I didn’t post anything on this blog. (though probably for a long time again that’s it...)
The old house after grandma needs to be clear out, because there’s a buyer and among other things bunch of the old doll furniture of mine appeared (including the plastic half of a grilled chicken, the roasting pen and the little TV (it’s actually a little... well you look inside and there are miniature pics of czech castles, switching between them with clicking the little handle on the top)). It’s good old solid pieces from old times so it would be a great pity to just throw it away, so... I took it for Chestertons (and friends). The size is not ideal (though the TV is pretty much in the size of 60′s TV sets isn’t it?), but I think it’s better than trying to make it from the various boxes covered with various - usually non-suitable fabrics).
And I’ve thought I would do some testing pics, so here it is.
(there was also the whole... kitchen units(?) among the pieces but I didn’t dare to take that one too. (well that would be too much for one possible picture maybe somewhen that I would take with it)
(also - Hello, this blog wasn’t deleted yet! %D)

Historic Estate Agents in UK Chestertons Now Shares Ownership Title with Swiss Equity Firm Emeria
In the latest property market news, one of UK’s heritage real estate Agents, Chestertons, was acquired by Swiss Private Equity Firm Partners Group, Emeria for a mysteriously generous sum of money! According to experts, the Emeria deal came as a blessing in disguise for the otherwise grappling financial situation, these 200-year-old estate agents in London were facing for a while.
A joint statement released by the now Chestertons-Emeria Group stated, “In a move that will see substantial investment into the expansion of the 200-year old business. Chestertons will now operate within Emeria UK’s ‘Champions’ division”. While the UK real estate market rocks on a bed of sky-touching prices and disruptive mortgage rates, a power move like this by Emeria is believed to change the fate of prime and elite real estate dealings.
However, Chestertons, owned by Mercantile Group since 2005, is looking forward to putting their two decades of struggle to good use with this merger. In the words of now Chairman Mr. Salah Mussa, “In the 19 years since acquiring Chestertons, I have watched the brand grow substantially to resume its place amongst the leading names in residential property. With 2023 set to be a record year for the business, it demonstrates how we have transformed from a struggling small agency into a thriving, resilient business.”
With 30 already operational offices and a dream of further expanding their wings within the UK, this historic Estate Agents in London signed off a hushed deal of £100 million, as per The Financial Times. While this UK-based merger dropped jaws across town, rest assured Chesterton’s non-UK offices spanning 12 locations including Greece, Spain, Morocco, and the United Arab Emirates will remain under Mercantile Group’s ownership.
In related news, the Chestertons-Emeria collaboration news followed suit right after a series of blockbuster mergers from the real estate industry. Notable takeovers include US property moguls CoStar Group, who acquired prominent property portal OnTheMarket for £99 million. Dating just a year back, online estate giant Purplebricks was acquired by Rival Strike for just £1 million. In the words of CoStar “attractive strategic entry point into the UK residential property market”.
London-based real estate agency Foxtons named Guy Gittins, boss of rivals Chesterton as its new chief executive officer when the firm faces
