The DIY continues apace and am starting to worry I may be the noisiest flat owner on the South Coast …
I have met a few of my neighbours who had seen the TV programme (embarrassing) and everyone seems really nice. Which is a relief. Just to be safe, I dropped chocolates [...]

I’ve had the flat for almost six weeks now…where has the time gone? I know where…on DIY!
Completion day was nerve wracking. I was pacing the room waiting for the call, keeping everything crossed that there wasn’t going to be an unforeseen hiccup with the money but I eventually heard from my solicitor and agent (who mimicked [...]

As luck would have it, I won’t be boarding a flight to the South of France and trying to complete on the property at the same time, as I have exchanged and complete tomorrow!
I am going through waves of extreme excitement, blind panic and slight nausea at the thought of the money I don’t have [...]

I can say with total certainty that, even when taking cost out of the equation, buying a house with another person is very different to any everyday purchase.
I’m always delighted to confirm that Ruth’s dress, shoes and handbag combo is quite simply stunning and a bargain at twice the price – whilst really pondering whether [...]

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!
