We watch all the TV shows about renovations and self-builds, lapping it up. We critique their interior design ideas and landscaped gardens. We watch people make mistakes and go vastly over budget. But still, the end result is usually marvellous. A labour of love to cherish - a forever home.
If you're a landlord or thinking of investing in property, you may have come across the term yield before. But what does it actually mean?
If you're trying to sell your home, you might wonder what to do around Christmas time. Should you take it off the market for a month or so? Or try to juggle the viewing appointments around your other commitments?
Nativity plays, shopping, present wrapping, and staff parties. It's all go in the run-up to Christmas. There is so much going on at this time of year. Preparing for viewings on your property, on top of everything else, could be enough to send you over the edge!
We all do it. Every year we overfill our schedule in the run-up to Christmas. Children's school commitments, staff parties, gift shopping - there's just so much to do. If you are considering moving house, there is a strong chance that it is not a particularly urgent move, and you will push this to the AFTER Christmas category.
It's highly likely that you or someone in your family has had to work from home at some point in the last few years. Most bosses have realised that, without the chit-chat and distractions of the office environment, productivity is actually higher. But it isn't practical for you to work from the end of the kitchen table permanently.
Interior design trends change year on year, much like fashion trends. Taking inspiration from all different cultures from all over the world. Looking at trends from years gone by to create our spaces. What are the new emerging trends for our homes for 2023?
As each year ends, we reflect on the year before and set resolutions and goals for the year ahead. Here is what you need to know if a house move is on the cards for you in 2023.
What should you do to ensure your property is safe whilst it is empty through the winter months?
How much time does it actually take to buy a property? Viewings, mortgages, solicitors - it all takes time.
We all like to promise ourselves that with each year that goes past that the next one will be the best one. So, why not make the right steps towards this and start your 2022 off on the right foot?
Renting a home might have always been seen as a lesser to buying one, but what you may not realise is that there are plenty of benefits to renting a home rather than owning one. One of the biggest benefits is that when things go wrong within the house, 9 times out of 10 it is not going to be something that you need to pay out (or organise) to be fixed. So, when is a maintenance repair job something to do with you and when do you need to leave it up to your landlord?
