Q:Please advise. Am selling through an estate agent and there are three buyers after my house. They keep on putting in higher and higher offers by bidding against each other . [At the moment there is no comparable property on the market in my post code area at a price anywhere near as low as mine.]
Now the agent is advising me not to take higher offers or push the price up further as he is concerned a buyer whose offer I might accept will not be able to raise the necessary finance to buy th

Q:Hi all
We purchased a new build Bellway home last year. Our experience has been mixed. Some good, some bad.
We recently called their customer care as we have seen gnats and sometimes other little flies coming through a little gap in the strip on the window sill adjacent to the window. I hope that makes sense.
The customer care has almost made me feel like we're complaining for no reason (hey, i'm not an expert in house building ). They said that it'
Q:I am 37, always been crap with money but this year have decided to sort myself out.

Does anyone know if being able to pay all the money up front would be enough to overcome these obstacles?
