Nerdy stuff

Posted on September 19, 2007
Visiting the Amazon associates central website the other day after a long absence, I was excited to see that they now have some intriguing new ?widgets?. The most useful for me is the ?my favourites? widget, a customizable box you can put on your web-site containing selected books, and your own comments on each book...

In two minds about Malcolm

Posted on September 14, 2007
Speaking to a solicitor friend of mine recently who does housing association repossession work, she said bitterly that it seemed to be impossible nowadays to evict tenants who have any sort of disability. She is not going to be pleased with the recent Court of Appeal decision in London Borough of Lewisham -v- Malcolm...

Eco vision in Norfolk

Posted on September 11, 2007
I was excited to read about possible plans for an eco town in the now disused RAF centre at Coltishall in Norfolk. It would 10,000 homes and 2,000 jobs with an electric bus link to Norwich and a new broad. It sounds brilliant. I hope they get the ?green light?

Good luck Gordon Brown

Posted on September 08, 2007
I read a book on Gordon Brown today. There is a cautious feeling of optimism in our house at his becoming PM, and I have long had a feeling that in the cup of cappuccino which is the Labour Party, Tony Blair was the froth on the top and Gordon Brown the grounds underneath...

Ormond Castle

Posted on August 16, 2007
Fresh from a holiday in Southern Ireland, I must tell you all about a gem of a place we discovered ? Ormond Castle. Situate in the pleasant town of Carrick on Suir, this comprises a ruined medieval castle and (we were told by our guide) the only intact 16th century manor house in Ireland...

A green paper for green housing

Posted on July 25, 2007
The government published its Housing Green Paper recently, and I have now been able to have a quick flick through it. It looks pretty impressive at first glance. A few points spring to mind. First of all, here?s hoping that they will be able find sufficient builders, bricklayers, electricians, and plumbers etc to do all the work...

Responsible Renting ? have your say

Posted on July 20, 2007
I have already mentioned in previous posts that the Law Commission are undertaking a massive review of housing law and practice. This started with their Renting Homes project, now completed, and continued with their project on Proportionate Dispute Resolution...

Runaway marriage - a better (and cheaper) option

Posted on July 10, 2007
There?s been quite a bit in the news recently about on the one hand how good marriage is for family life, but on the other hand how it is getting less popular. Well there is one very good reason which may partly account for its popularity decline - it is very expensive...

No smoke, no fire ...

Posted on July 06, 2007
Who?d be a smoker today? First it was just a few places, then transport with the trains and busses bringing in a ban, now its banned practically everywhere! Happily I gave up quite some time ago so its not a problem for me.It is going to be a problem for landlords though, particularly HMO landlords, as from 1 July they must not permit smoking in any of the communal areas of their properties...

Housing more important now

Posted on June 28, 2007
An interesting snippet from the afternoon press briefing from No 10 for 28 June:"On the role of the Minister for Housing, whilst the breadth of her responsibilities would stay the same, clearly the fact that she was in Cabinet sent a very clear message about the much greater importance of the Housing Minister and the role of Housing more generally in the Government's agenda...

A top property blog!

Posted on June 28, 2007
Did you know, dear reader, that The Times have included this as one of their 25 top property blogs in their Friday Life and Style section?? I am very honoured. Their comments:"Low on entertainment, but high on enlightenment. All buy-to-let landlords should make this a regular read...

County court possession order error

Posted on June 27, 2007
I had a very odd court order come though the post today. It was in respect of a hearing two days ago (which surprised me to start with!). It had the correct heading, but then said that the hearing took place in on 15 June in the Clerkenwell and Shoreditch County Court, whereas in fact it was in Norwich County Court on 25 June...
