If you had to choose, would you rather live up in the tree tops or would you prefer to have a home on the water?
Vote away and let us know what you picked! If you already have a houseboat or a treehouse, we'd love to see pictures.

POLL: Home gym - yes or no?
Comments (8)I too would love one, living out in the sticks as I do, the nearest gym to me is way too far away - as are supermarkets for that matter (on-line shopping for me, I am afraid)! I am lucky enough to live in the Yorkshire Dales and I do go walking in the summer when longer nights allow, but during the winter with miserable weather and dark nights, it would be fabulous to have a home gym....See MoreOne piece of advice you wish you'd known before buying a house?
Comments (103)Remember that Rome wasn't built in a day.. Neither the house you want to make a home... If the house feels right. With your Head and your heart, location. Then if it's the house for you it will work.. Move in and adjust each day... Yes you can put your Mark on the house, yes it will be your HOME... But live with it for at least a short while.. Don't be hasty to paint.. See where the sunshine..shines...See where it makes dull on a dark day...So you Can add a mirror maybe to reflect the daylight.. Don't make the pennies stretch any further than they are.. Remember that sadly the bills have to come first..!!!.... Improvise pieces to fit and...if you have to save for the right item....Then save..!!! it will be more practical in the end , rather than buying for the sake of it and having to buy another a few months down the line... Don't fill every room with furniture.... My biggest mistake... Use a piece like a sideboard and think practically the uses.... Is it big enough.. One more draw or cupboard would have better than two smaller ones...don't be afraid to add old stuff that we all now reuse..paint it ...add your own art work... It's a long journey.. To find the destination of all your dreams... And when you feel you have achieved what you have done...then sit back and enjoy all your hard work. And live in your HOME... Enjoy. Relax.. And above all have fun......See MorePOLL: Do you own or rent your home?
Comments (6)I rent from the council. Have to say after owing my home in the eighties with sky high interest its wonderful. Same place for life, reasonable cost, all maintenance provided free. Plus I can decorate any way I like. I take pride in my home and garden. Shame not all do....See MoreOdd layout in 1930s house
Comments (9)Looking at the floor plan - there is lots you can do but I personally would wait until you know about the loft conversion or extension. Extending across the kitchen to make a more useful kitchen diner or kitchen with family room and doors into the garden at the back with the dining area kept where it is would be good. The current back family room and front lounge could be altered to anything really ie downstairs shower room between a bedroom. Office, second lounge etc etc. It’s upstairs for you that seems to be the issue so I would get someone in ASAP to check out the loft and see if it’s possible and get some costings. The stairs could possibly go with the current shower room is so you don’t lose a bedroom...See More

8 years agoI grew up on the coast and love a house on the water. However, i now live inland on the side of a mountain and love waking up in the tree tops! I have the most amazing views of the valley below and incredible sunsets!
