It's not such a dog's life on the Island
Article Abstract:
The Isle of Dogs, in London's Docklands area, is becoming more accepted as a residential location, although it will never become a prime part of London. It forms a key part of Docklands, being situated between the City and the Royal Docks, and its most prominent building is Canary Wharf, which is gradually attracting tenants. As more people start to work at Canary Wharf, so Docklands is becoming an increasingly accepted and integrated part of London.

Stuck? Try upwards or outwards
Article Abstract:
Many people who need a larger home decide to extend their existing home rather than to deal with the problems which can arise when moving house. An extension can take the form of a conservatory, a home office or a loft extension. A conservatory can substantially add to the value of the house, as long as it does not take up too much garden space. Loft conversions can also add value if they give an additional bedroom.

The 11 footballers on the right are hot property. But do they live in one?
Article Abstract:
The UK's top football players tend to buy large, new, executive-style homes, usually in commuter towns rather than city centres. All the leading football clubs have areas nearby which are popular with their players. However, the market in homes for football players is beginning to change. Some now prefer to rent, and they are being advised that it is not always best to buy the largest house they can afford.
