Monday blog round-up
September 7th, 2009 by claire.mitchellIt’s Monday morning, which means it’s time once again for our weekly blog round-up. Here’s what’s been happening on our favourite property blogs.
The Money Blog are talking about the suggestion from Foxtons founder Jon Hunt that the time to buy a home is when people stop discussing house prices. We’re wondering if that is ever likely to happen.
This week on A Slice of the Property Cake, Mr Jackson has been taking time out from coping with the torrential downpours that have been sweeping the north of Scotland to marvel at one estate agent’s plan to stockpile traditional lightbulbs in readiness for the ban. Entrepreneurship or plain madness – the jury is out.
The Royals of Rent ladies are eyeing up a new development opposite Jamie Oliver’s restaurant Fifteen in Hoxton, London. You can search for available apartments on Primelocation.com.
Rich at 4Homes has a tempting offer for anyone who fancies giving their home an overhaul. He’s calling for applicants for series two of Kirstie’s Homemade Home. Get in there quick!

And there’s more about Kirstie over at the Rat and Mouse. Apparently the usually unflappable Ms Allsopp threw a bit of a wobbly while on the London Eye recently, and was caught in the act by a couple of quick-thinking passers by on their mobiles. Rat and Mouse are desperate to see the footage.
Anyone up for a renovation challenge? Over at Winging It, Mike’s found a fantastic wreck of the week just begging to be converted – a grade II listed oast.
And finally, Chesterton Humberts’ clever house historian has been digging up the history on a Marylebone building with a World War II spying connection.
Enjoy!
