Yes, that’s right a proper castle is going on sale for less than the price of a semidetached house in London! Blenkinsopp Castle near Hadrian’s Wall is a fourteenth century structure featuring four bedrooms as well as two reception rooms. The castle could be yours for three hundred and twenty five thousand pounds. If you want to move in to one such home, prepare to lower the drawbridge for the man and van people as Blenkinsopp Castle has a (small) moat, turreted walls and amazing stone masonry throughout the place. The property also comes with its own set of fourteenth century ruins – to the contrary, a semidetached home in London (without any ruins) will set you back about half a million pounds.

The Blenkinsopp family built the castle for themselves in thirteen thirty nine (this is ...

Moving homes is a great occasion to start anew. If you want to part with the majority of your furniture and appliances before you settle down at your new address, but you still feel like not simply throwing it away, there are a few things that you can do in order to give it new life and purpose.

Give to a friend or family member

Regardless of being old, some of your furniture may still be in a usable condition. Ask around your social circle if someone needs a sofa or a dining room table you do not plan on utilising anymore. By giving it away, you will be doing some good, which is a sufficient reason in itself. You can decide if you would accept money for the deed, or you will be doing it just due to a charitable mood. If you do not want money, but the person taking the items insists, you m...

Moving houses can pose a challenge that you’d rather not face. The stress, strain and hassle of tackling this very responsible task often prove to be overwhelming, and if you would rather avoid them, there are a few things that you can do. Planning is, of course, the key to success in such an endeavour but if you are looking to make your life easier, you can employ some of the tricks that we have taken the time to describe below. Do that and your move will go in a smooth and hassle-free manner.

Don’t waste time searching for packing supplies

Are you a landlord who is struggling to understand why tenants are always quick to vacate your property? Maybe you are a tenant who is unhappy with their current rental home but still has not plucked up the courage to find insured helpers for hire in London and move out? No matter on which side of the fence you are sitting, this post will make an interesting and useful read for you. That is because we will now take the take to discuss the most popular reasons why UK tenants move out which are:

In an ideal world, moving would be an easy, fast and hassle-free experience that will not require too much planning, preparation or organisation. Unfortunately, even if you opt for professional home relocation services or all-around office removals in London, there may be some additional unexpected circumstances for which you will need to find a quick solution without the assistance of your skilled and friendly movers. One such case is when you need to leave your property empty for an extended period of time because:

Moving out of a house or flat requires a lot of planning and so many arrangements that it might seem impossible to complete everything before the moving day. But, one thing that should be on top of your moving list is getting your deposit back. One of the ways to get fully refunded is to return the property to the state it was in terms of cleanliness. You can clean the place by yourself or use the most reliable end of tenancy cleaning in London. The second option always comes safer because professionals know what to focus on when cleaning, leaving your landlord with little to complain about.

Moving is never an easy chore. No matter whether you have been planning a full-scale domestic relocation, or you just need to get a single piece of furniture relocated from point A to point B across the city, there are a lot of complications and pitfalls that you need to take into account. Here we are going to focus on the second scenario, in which you have to transport a bulky sofa, wardrobe or another item. Chances are that the dimensions of the object in question are such that it will not fit in your car. Hence you will be forced to think about the alternatives.

When the furniture is new

Say that you have seen a table in the local furniture store that will be perfect for your living room. Naturally, you purchase it. The question now is how it is going to reach your address...
