Neither Halifax nor Nationwide is expecting much to change with house prices this year, although Rightmove predicts a two per cent rise and top-end agent Knight Frank predicts a five per cent fall.
For most homeowners, however, the rule is: If you don’t have to sell, then don’t.! There is a hugely attractive alternative – rent out your house.
With London property prices still beyond the pockets of many, renting remains the only practical option. Renting privately direct from the landlord not only means that the rent could be cheaper – the landlord will not be paying agent’s fees – but also you as tenant will have a friendly face to deal with, not just a corporate person on the other end of the phone. www.rentfromtheowner.co.uk is here to help everyone involved in the rental, with hints on how to be a good tenant and a good landlord, both equally important when it comes to making renting privately a pleasant experience all round.
Definitly high on my wish list Santa!

Just because you won’t be living in the property yourself, it’s no excuse to cut corners when it comes to furnishing it. The thing is it’s so easy to start heading down that route. Good quality furniture is expensive and an all out purchase is going to hit your wallet hard, and if you’re going for a fully furnished property, it can easily wipe you out. Problem number two; we’re guessing you’re a businessperson first and foremost and interior decorator sits well down on your list of skills. Are you up to the task of creating a modern, stylish and comfortable interior on a budget? Do you have the time? Do you have the inclination?
How cool is that!!… The owner isn’t even a musician…just ‘did it on a whim’……..http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2052918/The-Alabama-mansion-sale-grounds-shaped-like-guitar.html
