“I find it quite incredible that it is IMPOSSIBLE to get an answer to a SIMPLE QUESTION like: "What might I EXPECT, ON AVERAGE to pay per month for a loan of £10,000 over 5 or 10 years, in today's world" without disclosing ALL of my Personal Details! That is a VERY SIMPLE question for anyone with any idea of financial affairs to ask - YET, there is NO ANSWER out there to that!!! I do HAVE TO ASK what on earth do all you Lenders HAVE TO HIDE? All this business of "what can you afford per week or per month?" - that is NONSENSE! That allows you to charge PHENOMENAL Interest Rates (c. 39% p.a.?) and if the person feels they can afford it, AT THAT PARTICULAR MOMENT IN TIME, they accept! In my day we talked Interest Rates like 3 - 5% over Base - or in terms of a Personal Loan, a Flat Rate of say 10%. That way EVERYONE knew exactly where they stood - and they were either accepted or declined based on my knowledge of the person and my measure of their resourcefulness in over-coming adversity! Let's be UP FRONT and say: here is what you should EXPECT to have to pay but only an accurate figure can be given once we have carried out OUR assessment on your ability to pay! That way, the un-initiated will start to understand how to manage their Financial affairs in a responsible manner! I was in Finance on the front line for 37+ years and integrity in all of our dealings was paramount - up until the early mid 90's when SHEER GREED on the part of virtually EVERY Financial Institution overtook ALL SENSIBILTY - and we ALL KNOW where that led us - 2008???!!! Why has that lesson not been learned? GREED???”

“Hello, I came across your site purely by accident and was disturbed to read a number of problems your members seemed to be having with their architects. In response, I would suggest that both members and users searching for architects go to at least three different architects if not more. Many offer a free initial consultation so use this well, get them to visit your home or site, ask as many questions as you need and get a feel for how the architect and yourself could/would work together. Communication is key in any relationship and especially one so important as having major work done to your home - it's personal. Check out what previous work the architect has done, they should be able to show you examples. You are completely entitled to seek out references from previous clients and or contractors or other professional consultants. Finally, before signing on the dotted line, you should receive a written outline of the work the architect is proposing to carry out for you, generally called a scope of works or it maybe part of their appointment letter/documents and this should detail the stages of work they are pricing for and the work they propose to produce for you. If anything isn't clear go back to them and seek clarification. Communication + Transparency Keep both of these going and even disagreements can be nipped in the bud before developing into full blown disputes. Good luck and enjoy your build.

“I found most information on the website very useful. Specially the ones regarding garages conversion and I agree that most garages are not used for cars and what we decided to use it for is up to each individual property owner. Thank you for the useful tips and services”
