Elephant in the room being the 'help to buy subsidy'. Half the deposit needed for a new build rather than an old build. That said, I'm not sure I have much sympathy for these buyers. There is a new esatate near me where every

I live in the UK and very few people have guns, even the police are not routinely armed. Yet, we still have these kind of events from time to time. You could ban guns today and they will still be around for the next few hundred years. It&#x

Get recommendations from friends or neighbours. If at all possible, choose a contractor who lives in the same town or locality as you do. People also tend to look like what they are - a scruffy, untidy person will usually do scruffy, untidy

I've had two cheap Canon Inkjet printers for 10 years plus and they both have worked like a charm for all of this time. Maybe I have been lucky?

I got a result for 'best laser printer' which was actually a retailer of laser printers. It was #8 but better than I expected. I am far from being a Google fan boy - quite the opposite - but I can also be pragmatic and understand

I don't eat after 5pm during the week so I do experience odd bouts of hunger. Not sure whether the aleviation of symptoms is connected to this or just coincidental of other attempts to keep my blood pressure low?

Be careful about what you are considering throwing away. I'm a bit older and when people ask me why I'm not married I reply simply that all the best women were snapped up in their 20's.

The UK is now worse than Spain for this problem, and that's saying something. Sadly, it's gotten beyond the point where any politician would dare raise it as an issue.

I am in the UK, where my analogy would be valid, you do get a surveyor's report and you can back out. I accept your system is different and, likely, a whole lot better.
