Everyone knows thats even with the drop in property prices over the last year private houses and flats are still very expensive top buy in the Uk.

The uk government offers affordable housing via council houses and housing association homes. This is a great alternative to the private sector as you can live in a modern house with a low rent.

At some point there might be a time where a council house tenant might need to move house due to work or family changes. The only option in the social housing sector is a Council house exchange. This is where one tenant can arrange a mutual swap with another. The best way to meet other people wishing to move is via one of the UK websites. I can recommend EXUK.co.uk, this is a council exchange forum where lots of council house tenants browse to find a suitable new home and its FREE!!!

If you want your contemporary dining room more beautiful than ever, you must to buy dining furniture that is both suitable and likeable; i.e. the kind that you can live happily with for years to come, it pays to put some thought into what you buy. When you talk about dining room chairs, there are so many choices, that you need to give careful consideration to both your requirements as well as likings: whether you want modern armchair or modern chairs without arms, upholstered, wood or leather finish, dimensions, design, weight, portability etc. Dimensions: Make sure that the proportions of the dining room or area, are congruent with the size and dimensions of the modern table and consequently the dining chairs, so that the size of the room does not diminish the size of the dining room furniture or vice versa. The dining chairs should be sufficiently big to offer proper seating support (the chairs should ideally be a minimum width of 17 inches) and should be the correct height to match the height of the dining table. An often overlooked aspect of dining room chairs is their height: the optimum height of a dining chair is usually 18 or 19 inches. The general rule is that there ought to be a minimum of 12 inches between the top of the seat and the top of the table (usually the height of a dining table is 29 to 30 inches) Design: Consider whether you want armchairs or chairs without arms. In general, having armchairs at the dining table creates a more formal appearance. You can tone down the appearance of formality by having only two armchairs, at either end of the dining table leaving the rest of the chairs without arms. Also you need to consider how many chairs you need, which will depend largely upon the shape of the table (which in turn may depend on the shape of the room). If the dining table is rectangular, six chairs are usually required, whereas four may be the right number for a square table. Mixing and matching is also an option if you don’t like a very uniform or matched look. For instance you may pair a traditional table with contemporary chairs or a more contemporary table with old fashioned chairs. Finish: Choose with care the kind of surface that you want your dining chairs to have: certain surfaces are low maintenance and easy care while some are not. If you like upholstered finishes to your chairs but think that they could be very high maintenance, consider slip covers that go over your dining chairs saving them from stains, dust and dirt and other wear and tear. Some dining chairs also give you the option of removable seat cushions so that the seat covers can either be laundered or replaced. Weight: the weight of a dining chair should be enough so that it is steady and firm but also it should be light enough that it is not too difficult to pull to and from the table when being seated.

if you’re planning to move and you are moving alone, then you must know few things to make sure that each thing goes smoothly.
- you should, only pack the things that are really necessary. You mustn’t carry the pointless things. Make a list of the things you need to hold. Also make a catalogue of the things that are now not needed. You can give these things to charity or give them to your neighbors or friends, if possible.
- You should keep in mind that you are going to need many things for packing your house holds, like moving boxes, paper, tape, bubble wrap for example. If you can afford, you can buy new moving boxes otherwise you can buy cheap used moving boxes from the market.
- After you have bought all of the things necessary for packing, you should start your packing straight away. It is advised to start your packing few days before your move. The worst thing is to start the packing on your moving day.
- you should wrap the tiny and frail things with bubble wrap and label them to make them safe from cracking. It is advised to label your boxes, so that you will know where and the way to place them, later.
- Your moving day might be a stormy day. So, keep this thing in mind and pack your things properly. You should put your books and notes in boxes which should be well protected from rain or water. The boxes should sufficiently light to carry. To protect your furniture from rain, you should use protective coverings.
- if you don’t have heavy furniture, or have ready and strong pals, then you should not hire a mover company. As you are alone and don’t have much weight, you can manage the loading and packing your self.
- If you have heavy and plenty of items to hold, you might need the help of a moving company. In this situation, you should start your search for the acceptable company, well before time. Because occasionally, it takes a lot of time to find the right and reasonable moving company. You can search the best and reasonable moving company by employing the Net or enquiring your friends who have experience in this field.
- all of the electronics of your home should be unplugged on the moving day. These things must be packed in the sealed boxes for the proper protection. It is counseled to arrange the proper sealed boxes for your electronics, before the moving day.
- if you’re moving close by, then you can do some shifting before the moving day. You can carry over some boxes in advance to your new place, if you’ve got access to your new place. This may save your time on the moving day.
- do not forget to properly clean your old house before leaving. You must lock all of the doors and windows. Remember to relinquish the keys to the owner.

GFI OUTLETS- Make sure you have GFI outlets within six feet of all sources of water. This means your kitchen sink, and bathroom sinks. You may want to check with your public utility provider for the exact criteria concerning this, but get it done.

INSULATED ATTIC- They will be looking at your attic, make sure it has adequate insulation for the space. Adding an attic fan will also be a nice touch when you are trying to show you have a well maintained home.

TOUCH UP PEELING PAINT- If your home was built before 1978, you may want to make sure you have no peeling paint chips. Paint used in homes prior to 1978 had lead in them. Do not sand any peeling surfaces of a home built prior to 1978, just prime and paint. You do not want lead paint particles becoming air born. They now have a paint that is specifically made to go over any lead based paint, even if you aren’t planning on selling, its a good idea to look into this at your local hardware store.

ROOF IN GOOD SHAPE?-Make sure your roof is in good shape. You don’t need to hear it from the appraiser after the fact that your roof has affected your appraisal. If you can get away with minor repairs do so now before the appraiser arrives. If your roof is older than 10 years, be prepared to have it affect that bottom line, especially if it shows its age.

SIDING MAKES A DIFFERENCE- Brick, vinyl, etc. siding on your home do make a difference. Vinyl siding is considered inferior to brick. Believe it or not, I have actually seen people cover a brick home in vinyl siding..sigh…not a good idea..

DECKS- Thinking about adding a deck? YES. Decks are factored into an appraisers report as well as any storage buildings on the property. If you want to get the best appraisal possible, using pressure treated decking will get you more bang for the buck. Also, size does matter, as well as using great building materials. Covered porches are also factored in. If you have an existing deck, why not stain it and give it the best possible appeal.

EXTRA SQUARE FOOTAGE=EXTRA MONEY- Adding extra square footage is always a good idea. Got a porch? Enclose it and make it into a sunroom or a family room. If it has heat and air conditioning running to it, the square footage can add as much as $25,000.00 to your homes value. Sometimes more in favorable market conditions.

NO. OF BEDROOMS AFFECT BOTTOM LINE-Bedrooms matter. Never ever change a bedroom into a den or merge it with another bedroom for a larger room, unless you have atleast 4 bedrooms or more in your home to begin with. This is a huge error, and will affect your bottom line.

BATHS- If you can,add a half bath if at all possible. People can never seem to get enough baths or bedrooms in a home. Baths are always a sound investment. If you can’t add a bath, atleast update the ones you have. Replacing old fixtures, and toilets that are energy efficient are becoming more and more desirable.

ON STREET PARKING?-Common sense, double car garage carries more value than a single, and a carport less value than a garage. However, strategically speaking, if you have the parking space and it is paved, you could convert your garage into a den or family room, and then attach a carport and chances are you are going to add to your homes value. Something to think about. Just remember to add heating and cooling sources.

MAKE SURE ADDITIONS ARE LEGIT-In many states, a bedroom is only a bedroom if it has a closet. Some states, need a window that is big enough for an adult to crawl out of too. Something to think about if you are converting a space into a bedroom.

PLUMBING-Check your plumbing. They will be looking at your pipes..we don’t want them to see leaks or evidence of leaks.

GROUNDED OUTLETS-Make sure all outlets are grounded. They will be checking your closets and also your fuse box.

A house extension is the process of extending an existing area of your house. This process will allow you to create more space in the area of your choice. You may choose a home extension for one of several reasons. Many individuals who bought a smaller house with the intent ion of one day expanding it are good examples of the type of people that opt for home extensions. Even if you are happy with the amount of space in your existing home, you may want to create an additional space that you can use for some sort of dedicated activity, recreational or otherwise. Also, there are many individuals who need extra storage facilities in their existing homes in order to store and preserve any number of items that need to be kept for later use. Some individuals also choose home extensions so that they can create a home office space that they can work out for their private or side business. Home extensions are something that can be applied to a vast set of circumstances and will almost always have a positive effect on your house. So next time you are feeling like you need extra space for something in your home and feel forlorn at the fact that there is none, remember that a home extension is something to consider. You will be able to modify and add to your existing property and customise the extended space specifically for your needs and requirements.

People tend spend a great deal of time remodeling their backyards, building new porches and decks and planting new trees in the front yard; but not as much effort goes into improving the interior design of their homes. If you stop and think about it, it doesn’t make sense to spend thousands on making the exterior of a house look beautiful while letting the interior be drab and boring. If the interior doesn’t match up to the exterior, guests will be a lot less impressed with the house, and all the hard work and money will be for naught. Luckily, spicing up the look of your home’s interior is not all that difficult. Here are just some of the ways you can enhance your home’s interior.

1. Furniture
A change of furniture can go long way for making a home’s interior more appealing. The overall look and feel depends greatly on furniture design and arrangement, so change it up a little and experiment with a new set of couches or tables. Make sure that your furniture is the right size for your home, as furniture that’s too big or too small for a room can ruin the design.

2. Colors
A new paint job is probably the cheapest and most effective way of giving your house a complete interior makeover. Try something radically different than what you already have, especially if you’re one of the many homeowners who’ve kept the white walls that came with the house. Don’t be afraid to add some color and attitude to your living room or kitchen.

3. Accent Furniture
Try decorating your home with new accent furniture. Vases, new picture frames, plants, tasseled couch cushions, etc. Accent furniture can bring an interior together in a way that completes the look and feel of a room. You don’t need a lot of accent pieces either, just enough to give your home interior a sense of design continuity. Overdoing the accent pieces will result in your house looking tacky and crowded.

4. Structural Design
Don’t be afraid to tear down walls. Knocking down the wall that divides the living room from the dining room can make a house look more spacious and airy. Or maybe you want to build a new wall or partition, or add an archway into the hall. Changing the structural design of your home’s interior can breathe new life into it and be a lot of fun. Of course, check with your building inspector before making any changes.

5. Feng Shui
Feng Shui does not require you to buy anything extra. It is simply about learning how to arrange objects in your home in a more aesthetically appealing way that lends it a calm and relaxing mood. You’ll find plenty of Feng Shui guides and manuals at your local library.
