We’ve launched our first national TV advertising campaign

Finding that special one can sometimes be a bit tricky. Some are a bit cheap, some a bit scruffy, some too flash and some inadequately sized. Maybe you’re looking for one that’ll gain a few pounds, perhaps you want to know what they’re worth or maybe you like to keep an eye on the [...]

Property performance in university cities

With A-Level results out this week and the same week the Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH) proclaimed “The Golden age of home ownership comes to an end”, we’ve looked into change in property values in the top 20 University locations over the last 12 months.

Cheryl Cole decides to sell Hurtmore House

They’re all at it….celebrities selling their homes that is…first Katie Price, now Cheryl Cole, who will be next?

Pets Win Evictions

I don’t have a pet at the moment. Don’t get me wrong – I love animals, which is why I avoid them. I once bought a goldfish, and it lasted two hours (do you think I should have put some water in the bowl?) And so for me, renting is the best excuse not to [...]

I’m Afraid For You.

I’ve written previously about the device I use which shows the keywords used to find this blog. Apart from the usual queries involving rubber gloves (still strikingly popular) recently, I’ve noticed a disturbing development.
