Monday round-up
March 30th, 2009 by adminTo kick-start your week, here’s a look at what’s been happening on some of our favourite UK property and finance blogs recently.
Mike from Winging It takes a look at the rental market with his Graph of the Week.
The Rat and Mouse ponders whether the Homeowner Mortgage Support Scheme is ‘another Government initiative that’s announced loudly, swept under the rug quietly?’
Naomi from GoGreene (the Greene & Co blog) shares her views on the good food, good drink and good times to be had in Hampstead.
Ciara from Royals of Rent has some rather good advice for renters who intend to get back their deposit when they move.
Property Owl comments on the Battle of the Suits: Solicitors vs. Estate Agents.
Rich from the 4Homes blog shares his 5 Fave Things from the Homebuilding & Renovating Show (we love the bathtub).
Jane from Winging It despairs over the lack of lenders offering 90% mortgages. Our favourite bit: “They started talking insanely about taking out a loan to top up my deposit money, but when you’re taking out the biggest loan of your life, the thought of another one doesn’t really appeal.”
Wrapping up the list, Andrew from The Money Blog has run an advice piece on how to decide on fixed rate mortgages.

Thanks for the mention – the Homebuilding & Renovating Show was really strong this year – roll on the next one. Love Mike @ Winging It’s Graph of the Week. Also, top advice for renters from Royals Of Rent – have had to employ this tactic myself in the past.
I notice from your highly scientific poll on the right there that Kirstie Allsopp should be PM, with Geldof as her deputy. Scary thought…

Thanks very much for the mention, I’m glad you’re an avid celeb-spotter too!
I’d love it, if you could do a guest blog for us…get in touch if you’re interested.
