Ever tried conversion therapy?

Article Abstract:

There is strong demand in the UK for homes with a converted loft or garage to give additional living accommodation, possibly for an elderly parent or an au pair. In particularly popular areas, a loft conversion can boost the value of the property by more than the cost of the work. Many people are prepared to pay a bit more than the actual cost of the conversion in order to have an already converted property, rather than having to endure the inconvenience of having it converted themselves.

Sun, sea and semis

Article Abstract:

There can be a number of advantages associated with living in resort towns in the UK. Such towns are generally crowded in the summer, but local residents learn which places to avoid during busy periods. In Clacton, England, for example, a large house on the seafront with character will sell for around 175,000 pounds sterling. In Blackpool, England, local people enjoy the holiday atmosphere, and the town is regarded as offering good value for money for both retirement and second homes.

The clatter of tiny feet

Article Abstract:

It is possible to live in a city centre flat with a small child, as long as certain compromises are made. It may be necessary to rearrange the living accommodation in order to make the flat more safe for a small child, for example, and care will have to be taken not to allow too many possessions to accumulate. City centre flats tend to be convenient for facilities such as schools and parks, but some parents feel rather restricted if they have to share a garden.
