Buyers Need Property Financial Advice Before Looking
It’s been a most fascinating few weeks for me as an interested observer in the house moving escapades of a close young relative.

If A Bunglaow Stays Unsold – Could Spell Problem Plot
There is a rather attractive but very dated and under-loved bungalow on the market not very far from me. This in itself is unusual, as we all know bungalows are as rare as hens’ teeth usually. No sign of it having been sold yet after several weeks. In these days of quick land deals, be […]
