Indeed. But then there is the small matter of having some vision, designing it, financing it, sourcing the right materials and seeing a potentially nightmarish build through to completion.

These things explain why most people don't 'just build their own'. Otherwise, we'd all be millionaire property developers by now.

Well I'm an Interior Designer and I design Hotel Interiors for a living

so can put the drawing package together myself and use the contractors Ive used

in the past.Building my own house would be something I would do oneday probably

have to sell my place first .Maybe in a few years.The joinery work on those

two houses I have to say do look great.

Has anyone seen that the Landells Road Grand-Design house is for sale again, at ?850k. Actually, it's not clear, is this:

(a) The 'spare' house that Talisman built that has been on the market since July

(b) Ditto, but being sold on by whoever bought it after just a few weeks ownership

© Talisman's house itself.

So, what's the story?

    • I get that bit - it's the "we all win"  bit I didn't understand if I look at world, countries I most subscribe to are the ones where taxes are raised significantly, the economy continues to thrive and the rewards lead to a fairer economic outcome - including countries where actual pension income is a lot more  https://www.almondfinancial.co.uk/pension-breakeven-index-how-does-the-uk-state-pension-compare-to-the-rest-of-europe/   but a decent social fund requires chancellor "winning"  
    • Pretty sure it’s the same everywhere in Southwark in that the area around a marked cycle parking bay is geofenced - presumably to encourage riders to use the bays.     
    • They are very funny at the Herne Hill Oxfam, for a charity book shop, about accepting book donations. Last time I tried to drop off a few bags the woman there was quite cross so I took them right back out, and I will not go back again. Definitely had this very same conversation on this forum before, including about the parking. That time I drove them over to a different charity bookshop in Streatham where - shock horror - they thanked me. And since then I've taken other books in smaller quantities to local charity shops.
    • I read a lady died outside block of flats on Pytchley road, article did not say how.
