So it’s a normal next step; get married then settle into a new home. Once the stress of organising the big day’s done, it’s the natural expectation that all’s left is post-marital, worry-free bliss in a wonderful new home.
Not a chance! Stress-free house hunting that is (I’m happily married!).

My wife and I have only recently [...]

Here at Winging It we like to know what’s going on in the housing market, so our feathery ears pricked up (no idea if this is ornithologically accurate…) when we heard of an interesting new trend: the rise of the ’secret seller’.
Stacks Property Search tell us that a lot of estate agents are being approached [...]

Charles Taylor Wines – the leading supplier of fine Burgundy wines to the UK – are moving out of the London property they’ve had for the last eleven years.
That means their headquarters – a stunning five-storey, centrally located Georgian house – is on the market.
What with its 3,000-plus square footage, plentiful period features, sundrenched walled [...]

I ask because I recently had two blog posts sent my way, one urging investors to buy flats, the other saying, nah, don’t be daft, it has to be houses.
In the flat corner is Robin Bowman of Property Secrets, who argues:
“There is almost always rental demand for good flats in good locations, which are generally [...]

The guys from the Beeb came down last weekend and filmed me doing some embarrassing strolling along the beach, followed by some embarrassing staring out to sea (which I do before every viewing!).
But they were very lovely so I was happy to help out, smile while freezing, and enjoy my five minutes of fame!
Hopefully FindaProperty.com [...]

Ok, look, I’m not completely mad - I do know that finance is a big issue at the moment, and that many people are concerned about job security. But it’s not all doom and gloom.
Lenders are beginning to loosen up just a smidgen - and if you have the money to hand, the market is [...]

Brookside Close – the whole thing – is going under the hammer today.  All 13 properties on Merseyside’s most famous cul-de-sac are being sold at auction with a guide price of £550,000- £600,000.
It seems quite fitting that the number of houses is an unlucky 13.
Previous residents have suffered an entire catalogue of disasters including a [...]

Actually, spend about 500,000 pennies and you could become the proud owner of this ex-public convenience in Parcllyn, Ceredigion.

The blurb states that it could be used as parking and/or storage, but come on, with a bit of imagination surely we can do better than that?
I’d rebrand it as ”LooLand – The Great British Public Convenience [...]

A recent photo-feature in the NY Daily News focused on 15 Central Park West, an extremely exclusive residential block overlooking the park.
It does look quite magnificent, in that ultra-swanky, elegant way that New York skyscrapers possess despite their magnitude.
But I’m more captivated by the residents of 15 CPW.  Well, one current resident, one wannabe, and [...]

Poor old Phil Spencer. It turns out that even he’s been a victim of the all-encompassing credit crunch, and has been forced to downscale his property business empire. Poor lamb.
Okay, that’s maybe a bit harsh.  And I actually really like Phil. There’s something very endearing about him, I think.

But is it cynical of me to [...]
