Doing a job badly and then getting someone in to sort it out can be much more expensive than getting someone in to do the job properly in the first place.

I made a conscious decision to earn enough to be able to choose my husband rather than not have a career and marry someone who would have to earn enough for us both to live on.

For me adulthood is realising that there are no grown-ups and everyone else is winging it.

I kind of hate to be the voice of doom, but I just can't see how prices can't go down. I think people have actually forgotten that property prices can decrease. There's this feeling that they just won't fall, but, of course, that's not true.

Don’t stretch yourself too much with a mortgage. Buy within your means. It’s not worth the sleepless nights.

If you really love property, and buildings, lifestyles and how people live, that's a good reason for going into development.
