A friend of mine has just built a block of eight flats at a cost of around £1.3m not including land and demolition and site clearance. Be careful about underinsuring.
Well you haven’t said whether it is a house or a flat. I assume from the cost it must be a house. Well Charles get up in the loft and make the insulation in the loft 300mm. Next time the...

I had a friend who lost 20 places to NRAM after the 2007 recession. About three weeks notice and £10,000 of legal fees and they were still lost. He had never missed a payment ever and their beef was that...
