Welcome to our patch from John Horton
David Bowie had it right . It ’ s all about Changes . And here , at Horton and Garton , we ’ re doing our best to keep up with the never-ending array of political and financial changes that we ’ re all adjusting to in West London .
Such as the changing skyline . From Westfield through to Hammersmith Broadway and Chiswick High Road , it shows that the area is evolving . Most importantly , our patch of West London remains a popular first destination for buyers and tenants . Find details on six major new schemes on pages 4-5 .
Another big change is for landlords and renters . Whether it ’ s nationally or locally , the rules are changing . And to keep you informed , we ’ ve spoken to the local expert from Hammersmith & Fulham Council for a full explanation of the changes . See pages 20-21 .
