What a wonderful Crop Over season it’s been! Lots of great concerts and parties, superb music and colourful pagentry on the streets in the culminating Kadooment parade. Barbados rocks!
A quick period of relaxation before school starts and then we are in the run up to the ‘season’. Although from the Agents I have spoken to, there was no real off season this year and that’s great news for the property industry in Barbados! The Pier Head launched in late July and this was welcome news for the regeneration of Bridgetown which is sorely needed. Congrats to all involved and we look forward to watching this impressive project as it evolves.
Things have been relatively quiet so far this season weather wise– but as they say in Barbados, don’t let me put ‘goat mout’ on it!!!! The hurricane season is still very much with us and as we all know, things can change quickly. In this issue we address being prepared and taking appropriate precautions. Never be complacent. Just last year we had a partial hit from Beryl and the fishermen are still reeling, never mind the small islands of the Grenadines. Are you adequately insured? Do you have non-perishable food stuff and water stored? Do you know where the hurricane shelters are in your area and the rules? Do you have a plan for your pets or big animals? So many things to remember and you don’t want to be spending hours in a supermarket when the alarm goes off. Stay safe everyone and read on…
Of course, BPN is full of property for sale and rent and we are on line on www.barbadospropertynews.com and on social media. Enjoy the summer and take time to relax in paradise.
