I viewed 3 different new build houses over the weekend to see what we were up against if we came to sell in future, we viewed 2 show homes & one empty house,...

We put in a cloakroom in the hallway which is 2m by 3.5m. This will keep all that is to be kept and anything that doesn't fit gets to go in the garage. I...

Hi Tracey, our last house was a Prowting house which (extremely unusually) was stacked out with storage. It was the easiest house we have ever moved into...
