Moving To Cornwall. So you’ve had enough eh? Yep, just like the rest of us, you’re looking for the quiet life. To get away from the pushing and shoving, the daily grind, the payoffs, rip-offs and things that no one saw. When the rat race has outstayed its’ welcome and with religious and political zealots trying to blow themselves, and you, up; your patience has finally reached the tank-empty mark. So what do you do? You look to move away from it all, that’s what. And Cornwall offers the tranquillity and peace you want, both for yourself and the family. Well people, like all the great prophets say, nothing is ever what it ...  Read the complete review

The house price boom, now there is a phrase that is getting more and more familiar. I am not sure about boom, more like a huge explosion. As a young working person, I am getting increasingly frustrated that week by week the prospect of buying my own property is getting smaller and smaller. I have a good job, with good pay yet would be hard pushed to buy a small bedsit/flat never mind a decent home. Don't get me wrong, I am not that naive that I think I could get a large four bedroomed detached house in the country with the white picket fence and acres of land. However, I would like to be in a position where I could realistically look at ...  Read the complete review

I really wanted to talk to you about this because it is becoming all consuming. Thank goodness I’ve recently been put onto Dooyoo so I have something else to think about! Here’s the thing, have you ever tried to sell a house? If you have I hope you can identify with some of what I have to say if not your day may come. My husband and I (cor I sound like the queen), have thought about moving away for years but wanted to wait until our children had finished school etc. Well they certainly have now, two are married and the other, well we won’t talk about that, only joking, she is living together very happily with her lovely fella. We have three ...  Read the complete review

If like myself you have every had the need to call the Sky Digital Customer Service line then I hope you have plenty of time on your hands. I've had numerous problems with the digital system and had to call. Firstly on getting through to the call centre you are told (by a computer) that you have called at a very busy time, this "busy time" I have found is all of the time!!. Once you finally manage to negotiate your way through all the different options given and can finally speak to a human being, you are enivitably told that it is not their department and to call another one. Most times I've called it has taken approximately 30 minutes ...  Read the complete review

We bought and sold property last year and although we knew it wasn't going to be easy, we didn't quite bargain for the amount of stress we would have to endure. After about 6 or 8 veiwings (often by the MOST obnoxious, often time-wasting, gits) we finally had a young couple round who appeared to like the property. They had a parent with them for moral support I suppose, who managed to get us to accept £1000 less than the asking price if they would put in an offer that week. We were so over the moon to have a 'sniff' that we agreed. (We were desperate to move for a number of personal reasons). A few days later the offer hadn't come ...  Read the complete review
