It may be a long time ago now since I bought my first property, but I definitely remember the struggles of trying to get onto the property ladder and save up for a deposit.
That is why it is with great happiness that I reveal that leading lenders Santanders are increasing the maximum loan sizes of [...]
No one wants to move in next to a nuisance neighbour who makes a racket, blocks your driveway or is abusive, and this is the same for your tenants too.
Like homeowners the last thing they want to do is live next to someone who harasses them – they want to live in peace. But the [...]
I think you’ll agree with me when I say that it is not fun to be in off-plan at the moment. I was reading the case of Steven Dowd in the papers the other day, and he is just one of hundreds of homeowners who have been hit by off-plan investment complications.
