Debate House Prices


In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non MoneySaving matters are no longer permitted. This includes wider debates about general house prices, the economy and politics. As a result, we have taken the decision to keep this board permanently closed, but it remains viewable for users who may find some useful information in it. Thank you for your understanding.
The MSE Forum Team would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas. However, we know this time of year can be difficult for some. If you're struggling during the festive period, here's a list of organisations that might be able to help

    I must watch this Home Show. After wrestling with the floorplan for some weeks, I realise we'll need an architect for our new wreck.

    No you don't.

    Post up the layout and list your must haves and expectations here and you can have the house designed by a committee.
