Buying and selling a house if you wish to move home is an expensive activity. We moved house last year and the total moving costs were just shy of £20,000 for all the associated removals, estate agents and legal fees. It’s a big decision to go through such a process, and a costly one!
Unfortunately, many house sales and purchases fall through before completion which can leave you thousands of pounds out of pocket. In fact, 30% of house sales fall through in total, so the likelihood is very real.
To help ease this potential financial gamble, there is an insurance called Home Buyers Protection Insurance which can help you recoup some of the lost costs if a house purchase falls through. In this article, we’ll explore together exactly what this insurance is and whether it’s worth the cost.

With so many clothing options available in the market today, it’s incredibly easy to overspend. After all, snagging a cute-looking shirt on sale or picking the last piece of an in-demand garment can feel quite fulfilling to the average shopper. When you do this, however, you not only spend more money but you also build a wardrobe of clothes you don’t really use. As such, it’s wasteful both ways.
The best course of action in building a wardrobe that you can maximize to the fullest is sticking to a couple of closet essentials and adding some in-season items. For the latter, these pieces usually fall under what is trendy. Considering that trends come and go all the time, it’s better to not splurge on these pieces because you’ll probably only use them for a short period.
The same cannot be said for closet essentials. These are clothes that will be with you for a long while, so they are an investment for all your future outfits. To help you determine which clothes to invest in, here is a quick list of closet essentials that are worth the extra money.

Despite the name, bed bugs don’t just make their home in your bed, or even just in the bedroom. They are tiny creatures that clutch onto fabrics, clothes, and luggage, hitchhiking a ride into your home with their new food source (you). Even though they are so small and hide in small dark crevices in fabrics, carpets, and mattresses, they are one of the most troublesome infestations to have in your home. Contrary to popular belief, they aren’t actually associated with uncleanliness, and they are often picked up by people that have been travelling or moving around, no matter what kind of establishment you spend the night at.
If you suspect you or someone in your home has picked up these irritating creatures, be prepared to take the required steps to remove them from your home and soft furnishings; it isn’t always as simple as it sounds.
