Would You Buy a House You'd Never Seen?
Comments (15)I suppose that people whom have other views and plans on a location without the intentions of living in it, who would rather regard it as an investment or a great purchase are the perfect candidates for purchasing a home that is on the market and not seeing it , it could also be just a fixer upper to be resold at a higher price after all the work is done or a money pit that could also turn into a great loss and a very bad investment . If the price and money are there why not ,a lot good deals are offered out there why not in a home ....to do this we must have trust in others a 110% ....See MoreIf you found £1000...
Comments (1)Well, this depends a lot on who finds the money, what type of income/ resources they have and what they need/want for their houses. Personally, I'd spent it on something frivolous, as we are fortunate enough to be able to afford buying what's necessary for the house when it becomes necessary. And, as (he says) I'm not allowed to buy any more cushions or lights, I'd easily spend that £1K on a floor lamp. It would be either a Karim Rashid light (I just love that guy's stuff!!) or a Kundalini. Or maybe a Ligne Roset. Whichever, but it would be a floor lamp, as one just can never have enough lamps in the house (regardless of what one's husband says!)....See MoreIf you only had £9,000 for kitchen who would you buy?
Comments (23)I don't think £9k is a small amount, but then having done many a kitchen as a property developer, we're used to shopping around. I'd buy Wickes ( January sale ), the cabinets are very well made and have a very good guarantee on them. The doors too. They have a good range with the exception possibly of the worktops. Personally I find, having tried probably all trade kitchens, magnet, howdens, ( get a trade kitchen fitter to cost it if you find one you like - they get huge discounts -seriously, up to 70-80% ), B&Q also have trade cards and there's always Homebase etc - The kitchens are lovely and I think there's just a load of snobbery around 'where you bought the kitchen from'. Get savvy and buy Trade! The worktops i'd to an independent. ( only if you can't find one in one of the above ) - otherwise you have the layout for two lots of labour. You don't need flashy Taps ( Taps are minefield ), Use the internet if you're budgeting! I wouldn't buy an American Fridge Freezer, if my daughter's is anything to go by then it's an oversized, unused food store! All it seems to do for her is encourage to buy more as it looks empty and then doesn't get used! Integrate.................better for the visuals especially in a small kitchen. If you want free standing, then buy a normal sized Fridge Freezer The last one we did, even Wickes could not beat the price of the appliances compared to Curry's. So shop online for those too and look for discount codes....See MoreWhat colour would you paint this house?
Comments (152)Hi Nicky, my apologies I have only just seen your message. We went for cornforth white Farrow and Ball (which it definitely not white). The shutters are not back open yet but some of them will need to go back on because the large expanses of grey look very grey. The bits next to the white look less austere. The new white garage door with windows has made a big difference. I'd be careful with a very pale grey because if your windows are anything like mine you'll find that they are not actually that white after all.......See MoreJonathan
