Anyone see Grand Designs last night? We’ve written about Earthships – homes made from tyres filled with rammed earth – several times in the past so it was interesting to see the process in action.
The couple involved said they wouldn’t get planning permission for this in Britain, but there is a development of Earthships planned [...]

We’re all abuzz here at FindaProperty.com thanks to the launch of our new FindaProperty.com: Rental Index.
It’s the first comprehensive measure of rental asking prices available and has been prepared using a methodology devised by top housing market statisticians Calnea Analytics – they produce the official Land Registry index, so this, we’re happy to say, is [...]

Apparently Graham Nash wrote it while living with Joni Mitchell in Laurel Canyon way back in 1970 …  and you don’t get any more loved [...]

And soooo, the end is near, it’s time to faaaace, the final cuuurtain.
Oh god, that reminds me, I need to wash the curtains. Yet another thing to add to the ever-increasing list of Stuff To Be Done before we move out of our house in a week’s time.
Number one, of course, should really be packing.  [...]

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!

Excluding us, obviously, and the blogs produced by our sister company Primelocation.com…

1. Royals of Rent: Clever, engaging, and visually pleasing blog about renting in London.
