Ensure You Insure
24 September 2010
In these times of housing market stagnation the trend is now to improve rather than move to achieve that dream home, thus making the most of what we have and of course adding value to our properties. One of our first tasks is probably going to be rushing off to the nearest kitchen showroom or arranging a meeting with a builder or architect. We will be consumed by the thrill of our project and the prospect... Continue reading Ensure You Insure

How to Fight Back when it comes to Household Fuel Bills
12 September 2010
A sure way to end light-hearted conversation is to mention household fuel bills and their meteoric rise over the past seven years. According to the comparison website moneysupermarket.com household bills have doubled since 2003. Fuel poverty is a real issue amongst the vulnerable and occurs when more than 10% of household income is dedicated to paying fuel bills. However, with a degree of guile and...

Leylandii - The Modern Scurge of Britain (3 Comments)
10 September 2010
I read with incredulity of the man who refuses to cut down the Leylandii trees within his front garden. I am sure many of you gasped in horror at the pictures of the suburban street in Plymouth which show Leylandii that had overrun the front garden and engulfed the house plunging it into darkness. You can only feel deep compassion for the neighbours who have to put up with what can only be described... Continue reading Leylandii - The Modern Scurge of Britain
A Head Start When it comes to Working Out an Extension Cost
5 September 2010
When it comes to adding an extension to our homes, do we really have any idea what the work is going to cost? In most cases, the traditional tried and tested route is to get a minimum of 3 quotes from local builders and compare quotes. Human nature will mean that we will tend to go with the cheapest or indeed the builder who we feel we can do business with. Certainly, there is no harm in this approach...

When it comes to home improvement, love thy neighbour
5 September 2010
A belligerent neighbour whose sole objective is to make your life as miserable as his own is a sad tale that many of us can relate to. To add further salt to those wounds, any bridges of reconciliation were burnt years ago with little to no hope of making up. However, at times, we have to swallow that bitter pill, bite our tongue and go that extra yard to “love thy neighbour” as who knows...

How has Garden Grabbing affected you?
3 September 2010
The Government recently announced changes to the planning system with the intention of reducing the infilling and development of existing back gardens, often referred to in the media as garden grabbing. For residents and environmental groups the changes have been warmly welcomed and predictably, the House Builders' Federation has called the changes unnecessary. The Government sees itself responding... Continue reading How has Garden Grabbing affected you?
Sales of solar panels go through the roof in August (1 Comment)
1 September 2010
For many, August will be remembered as the month of record low temperatures and leaden grey skies. Paradoxically, for solar panel installers, it was their brightest month ever with record sales to households according to the energy regulator Ofgen. The success is largely down to a government scheme that rewards households who generate their own energy. The feed-in tariff system enables households...
