Turn a squat into a palace

Article Abstract:

Many local councils in the UK are now selling off property which needs extensive refurbishment work. This allows them to raise funds to invest in repairing viable existing housing stock. In some cases, purchasing former council property can bring significant benefits, especially as prices are usually very low. However, it is important for potential purchasers to be aware that such properties may have structural problems. Furthermore, some mortgage lenders may be unwilling to lend money on former council property.

Article Abstract:

A home swap can be a very effective way of gaining an insight into the way of life of people in another country. Some home swaps are undertaken for just a short period, while some people opt for longer exchanges. Organizations such as Intervac advertise many different homes in a wide range of countries. In most cases, home swaps are very successful, but it is important to communicate effectively before agreeing to go ahead.
