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 [...]

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 [...]

Here at Winging It, we’re all big fans of Charlie Brooker, the highly amusing Guardian columnist.
We also love Big Brother.  Okay, okay, that’s actually just me; the others have more refined tastes, if you overlook their unshakeable devotion to Kevin McCloud.
So it was a happy day - for me, anyway - when I read that Charlie, [...]

We like clever designs at FindaProperty. And we like smart, green ideas.  So when a marriage of the two comes to our attention, we like to share the joy.

“We Brits are endlessly fascinated by property. But surely I can’t be the only one who [...]

Ah, the depths we have to sink to in the name of journalism. I found myself scouring a list of dubiously talented females the other day having been told that Location Location Location’s very own Kirstie Allsopp had polled in FHM’s 100 Sexiest Women.

If, like me, you set aside all worldly concerns, switch off your phone and dim the lights whenever Grand Designs is on, then perhaps this little quiz based on the wit and wisdom of Kevin McCloud will take your fancy.
As much as I pretend it’s the struggle of turning, say, an old war bunker into [...]

Phil Spencer’s Location. Location, Location is unknown. The TV presenter has been taken into police protection following violent threats from frustrated first-time buyers.
Spencer, famed for his sotto voce whispering to the camera on Channel 4’s Location, Location, Location, is believed to be in hiding – possibly in a city centre pied a terre during the [...]
