    Property Purchase Noise

    Has anybody else noticed that there is no checking of potential noise nuisance during the conveyancing process?

    UK government to release brownfield sites for development

    Buying Next to Commercial

    Interesting reading. I had no idea that mortgage companies would wince at a property just because it was in a town centre, assuming that the price is reflective. It is an interesting, and possibly depressing, situation where an otherwise standard property becomes a problem buy just because it...
