The Garage
29 January 2011
Research published by the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) has found that two million households have either negative equity or too little equity to finance a house move.

When it comes to home improvement, love thy neighbour
13 January 2011
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.

How to Cut the Cost of your Extension the Imaginative Way
19 April 2010
Like me, are you one of these people who cannot help rummaging around in a builder's skip? I remember going to a party and noticing a skip which was fit to bursting with discarded bricks and was ready to make its sad final journey to the local tip. My wife knew immediately what was running through my mind and to her dismay, the next 25 minutes was spent loading the car with bricks which now sit proudly...
