Doing your homework
Monday, September 18, 2017
When it comes to selling houses, it pays to do your homework to avoid wasting time and money. Low cost options abound in the current property market but what appears to be a money saving option could well turn out to be a gamble that doesn’t pay off. No frills airlines have become an integral part of today’s tourist industry but consider whether you would pay between £500 and £1000 for a ticket in the knowledge that the plane may never take off? You then wait six months but end up no closer to your destination and have no chance of a refund. Would you be prepared to take that risk? This analogy reflects what is happening in the property industry with the advent of agents with a purely online offering and no high street presence. Most “online only” agents require payment of an upfront fee of between £500 and £1000 with no guarantee of selling your house and no refund if you don’t.

When the days get cooler, small changes, such as heavier fabrics and warm lighting transform your home and now’s also the perfect time to give your garden a tidy up before frosts set in.
Historic equestrian home on London’s doorstep
Wednesday, September 6, 2017
The Old Vicarage in Wraysbury is a Grade II Listed family home set in over four acres in total. Its origins lie in the early 15th century; some parts date back to the early 1400s when Henry V was King of England and is almost certainly the oldest residential property in the parish. Much modernised and altered over the years, The Old Vicarage has many original features: fine interior timbers, beamed ceilings and walls, timber floors, leaded casement windows, open fire places, an old tile roof and 17th century chimney.
Home. Work.
Monday, August 14, 2017
If commuting’s not for you, and working from home is an option, there are increasingly innovative ways to combine work and leisure at home. You may even be able to create a workspace in your home for less than the cost of your average season ticket. Fantastic work-friendly spaces can be found under the stairs, in a hallway, or even in a cupboard if extending upwards or outwards is not an option.
