Selling Your Home Privately

Increasingly, homeowners are making use of the Internet to find a buyer. With the internet, it's never been easier to sell your home. As more and more people decide to sell their property privately, property websites are invaluable in reaching thousands of potential buyers. The traditional way to sell a home is via an Estate Agent. Their fees are normally between 1.5 and 3% of property's sale price. So, if your house sells for say £250,000, you will pay them anything from £3,750 - £7,500 in commission. Even Tesco is now offering an Internet package to sellers. For £199 a property advert is displayed online until your property is sold subject to contract. See Tesco Property

Sailing Around Ireland

Norman Gray a resident of Cove Bay is setting off on early Thursday morning 14th June 2007, for a month long sail around Ireland in his "unsinkable" 30 ft yacht Bentim Buoys.
Norman and his crew John Campbell, William Skelly, and Adrian Watson are all retired, and see this trip as a great adventure. All on board are experienced sailors, and looking forward to sailing new horizons. Their route is clockwise around Ireland, taking full advantage of the tides. The seas around Ireland are not easy sailing, and the Atlantic weather will decide their speed.
We hope to keep in touch with the "Bentim Buoys" during the voyage, and report on their progress. Bon Voyage!
