Greenwich Developer offers to pay your mortgage for a year

I’d heard on the property grapevine that developers like to give you that little bit extra to encourage you to buy, but I recently heard about a developer in Greenwich offering a really great incentive.

 

They have an Open Day on 24th and 25th July 2010. If you go along to the open day and reserve an apartment that weekend, you get all the following paid for a year:

  • Your mortgage (interest only)
  • Your ground rent
  • Your service charge
  • Your utility bills
    *
    Terms and conditions apply.

 Have a look at their website, the apartments are pretty swanky - wouldn’t mind one myself, better check my diary…

Saturday 10am – wake up

Saturday 12pm – go to hairdressers

Saturday 3pm – buy an apartment in Greenwich

It’s World Environment day today!

World Environment Day (WED) was established by the UN General Assembly in 1972 to mark the opening of the Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment.

Commemorated yearly on 5 June, WED is one of the principal vehicles through which the United Nations stimulates worldwide awareness of the environment and enhances political attention and action. The day’s agenda is to:

  1. Give a human face to environmental issues;
  2. Empower people to become active agents of sustainable and equitable development;
  3. Promote an understanding that communities are pivotal to changing attitudes towards environmental issues;
  4. Advocate partnership which will ensure all nations and peoples enjoy a safer and more prosperous future.

The theme for WED 2009 is ‘Your Planet Needs You-UNite to Combat Climate Change’. It reflects the urgency for nations to agree on a new deal at the crucial climate convention meeting in Copenhagen some 180 days later in the year, and the links with overcoming poverty and improved management of forests.

House prices on the up

Following on from the news yesterday that mortgage approvals are 20% up, according to this article in the Times , house prices have risen for the first time since 2007! Could this mean we’re on our way to recovery from the financial crisis?

It certainly looks hopeful, but I I still thinks there’s a long way to go just yet.

Free Music!

Well, it’s not exactly property related and that’s what this blog is all about after all…but, I just had to shout about a website I found (actually that’s a lie, it was my boss that found it!) on the internet. It’s brilliant, basically it gives you free music. Just go to the website, download the software to your computer. Then you can select any band/type of music that you want to listen to and up pops their albums and singles for you to listen to - never will you have to buy an album without listening to it first ever again!
