The price declines looks to have well and truly started in many areas, though personally I don’t think there will be particularly large overall falls.

Out of interest on the stockmarket a “crash” is…[Read more]

The docklands seems to be an ugly place at the moment for many who have bought off the plan.

Lots of students get invloved in this area as they often have alot of skills in that area and start up costs can be very low.

In terms of business generally my suggestion would be think about what your hobbies/interests are are and consider something related to them.

Freshwater Place and Eureka towers really aren’t in the same league as the central Equity buildings going up, the quality is much higher and the location better ie on the river where the views can’t be built out for many apartments. Eureka in particular is likely to be a very exclusive building with the top penthouses going…[Read more]
