This situation was sprung upon us Friday afternoon and was caused by a late signing of the contract by the tenant during which time a number of buyers had viewed the property. It involves not just me but a sibling who could badly use their share of the proceeds. The opportunity cost to them over 2 y...
My sibling and I co-own a flat, which has been on the market for 9 months. As we did not receive any sensible offers and there are service charges which need to be met we decided to let it. A letting agent found a good tenant who is due to move in next week. Yesterday, out of the blue, we received 2...
We used Doug Mahon several years ago after he was featured in the Evening Standard. The work still looks fabulous, people regularly comment on the beautiful brickwork.
From why I’ve seen from the houses South of the River , they all look the same inside- there isn’t much design savy .

Yes, I am always tripping over new chairs, coffee tables, pianos… This is just the marketing blurb: ‘your baby sits with the rest of the family at the table’ etc. What a con! Your small baby in a (proper) high chair usually eats at different times to the rest of the family and hasn’t even learnt how...
Ah, the clunky, expensive ugly Stokke toe-stubber! Sold ours with glee, but wish I had chopped it up and burnt it. Recommend you get something more manoeuvrable and easier to clean. And less stubby of the toes. It's awkward and heavy to move around and you have to buy all kinds of stuff to make it a...
