Profit from property

Advantages: Practical advice, well laid out
Disadvantages: none

...Profit from Property gives a practical guide to all noivce property developers on what to do and more importantly what not to do when developing a property for profit. Author, Sarah Beeny has had huge success from the Channel 4 show Property Ladder where she follows would-be property developers from the initial purchase of their property right through to the end of the renovation. Profit from property mixes case studies from the show, with Sarah's lengthy experience of property developing to create a step by step guide to developing property for profit. I myself follow the show religiously so when I saw that Sarah was bringing out this book it was a must have. I have always been very keen to go into property developing and felt that this book would be a grea starting point for real and practical advice. The book is split into...

Countrywide Property Lawyers review

Advantages: Reasonably priced
Disadvantages: Incompetant

...I had the misfortune of using Countrywide Property Lawyers earlier this year. They were recommended by the EA Miller Countrywide. The incompetance was outstanding! The paperwork required to complete was lost twice after confirmation of receipt by them. They sent copies of confidential documents for the property I was buying to my purchasers. They sent me copies of mortgage statements for people in Wales twice. When I asked them where copies of my mortgage statements had been sent they said it was impossible for them to be sent to other people and I 'must be mistaken' !!! My completion date was delayed three times because of their incompetance and I eventually exchanged and completed within 24 hours as my seller threatened to pull out. All in all an extremely stressful experience....

Value Wipes

Advantages: cheap and useful
Disadvantages: not soft as leading brand

...I've been using wipes for so many years. When I had my son, I used johnsons and pampers regularly. Like most new parents, I tried to use the best one for my little one including branded wipes which I don't regret using because I'm totally satisfied. After so many years, I thought It's about time to downgrade into cheaper one's since my boy is now 6. There are times that he tends to be messy when playing or eating, well rather than getting a handtowel, I always have a packet of baby wipes instead. A quick way to do the job. As a parent having wipes is essential if you have children so rather than paying £2 or £3, these one will do for me. A cheaper option for different purpose. PACKET They now have a new packaging which is also quite simple, mainly white with an image of a baby . " tesco value fragrance free baby wipes" written...

Tunatastic Value

Advantages: Flavour, Smells not overpowering, Price of course
Disadvantages: Not pull top tin opening

...I absolutely love tuna but I will admit that I am super fussy when it comes to buying it as a lot of them can be quite fishy tasting or way too dark in colour so imagine my surprise to find that my fave tuna happens to be tesco blue n white stripey value pack! The tuna comes in the usual kinda of small tuna tin, kinda like a quarter in height of a tin of beans or something similar. The annoying thing though is that these tins don't come with a ring pull lid so you actually have to hunt out the old tin opener, though saying that it also means you wont end up covered in tuna juise so to speak if its tough to get off! The tin itself has the usual blu and white tesco valus label on it, not the most exciting i'll admit but then its whats inside that counts in the end!! I like that fact that this tuna comes in brine, so when your done...

Countrywide Property Lawyers - Abysmal

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Too many to list

...In short, if you value your health, your sanity, your hair, your sale or your purchase DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! In future if any potential purchaser of a property of mine were to even think of using them I would withdraw immediately, I cannot envisage any circumstance under which a coach and horses would drag me screaming into having any, direct or indirect, contact with this firm ever again. In line with the vast majority other reviewers I have never experienced such utter incompetence nor lack of interest. Thankfully I, as well as my purchaser, quickly cancelled their 'service', much to the annoyance of the 'independent' Estate Agent who 'recommended' them. 60 reviews so far. Around 9 out of 10 reviewers rate their service as 'Very poor'. It is unfortunate that I have to award this company even 1 star. I've said it. Other...

Great value

Advantages: Cheap and effective
Disadvantages: None

...Tesco value toilet cleaner I often buy the Tesco value products because I find they usually (but not always) represent good value for money without a real compromise on quality although the packaging is very basic! Product and Packaging? Being one of the value products, the packaging is, as I expected, very basic. It comes in a white plastic 750ml bottle with the name of the product, instructions, warnings and information on the front and that's about it. No fancy pictures or unnecessary information. The screw off top has a child safety cap which means that it's almost impossible for children to open unless they have worked this out for themselves. The top screws back on quite easily and the child proof lock is instantly applied. There is a thin funnel type spout for easy pouring into the toilet bown and so that it can be...

Tesco Value Strawberry Cheesecake

Advantages: Delicious!
Disadvantages: None!

...Who says Tesco Value food isn't up to scratch? Well on the contrary my dear Watson...here's a small dessert that is second to none - their individual strawberry cheesecake. Found in the yoghurts section of your local Tesco, these 100 gram pots cost around the 40p mark. They may not look the most appealing of desserts - in a clear plastic pot with a foil lid with the words Tesco Value inscribed on it. Hardly a great advertisment, but fear not, once you try them then you'll keep going back for more. The strawberry topping is absolutely delicious - sweet, thick and tastes like genuine strawberries rather than some artifical nonsense. The base is a little bit soft compared to a first-class cheesecake base, but remember, you're eating Tesco Value here so there can be no qualms about it's quality in comparison with the price...

Tesco Value Worth A Try!!

Advantages: Cheap And Cheerful
Disadvantages: None

...I seem to go through biscuits at a rate of noughts in my household. I recently discovered the value range of products from Tesco and I have to say I am extremely surprised at how good and vast the range is and how much money I have saved over the last few weeks and months by switching from my usual branded items. The value selection has products which look similar to their more expensive counterparts however they can often be up to a third cheaper or even as much as half price less. In all honesty my son doesn't really notice the difference so I will continue buying these items. The product that I will review now is Tesco Value Jaffa Cakes. These Jaffa cakes come in a box containing 24 cakes. They are around 56p and I have to say are a good alternative to the original Mcvities range which are considerably more expensive...

SUPER VALUE MUSHY PEAS

Advantages: Very Tasty
Disadvantages: Nothing really

...Tesco value Mushy Peas They come in Tescos, by now, easily recognisable red, white and blue labelled tin. Tried these the other night. My wife likes salmon but I find salmon tasteless so I had some yellow fish. Two big pieces and a whole tin of Mushy Peas. These are not the best Mushy Peas on the market but still a decent product. Probably comes somewhere in the Middle of the range. Takes about 10 minutes in the pan, I like to cook them very slowly. But watch them carefully or they can easily burn or stick to the pan even a non stick pan! They are a almost luminous green in colour and to start with a bit runny but after ten minutes heat they begin to get a proper thickness to their texture. Once you have them very gently bubbling then they are good to go. The smell does have a good 'Pea' smell to...

Tesco Value Gravy - Hit or Miss?

Advantages: VERY CHEAP! Ok for Temporary stand by -if really is no other.
Disadvantages: Bland-with strange after taste ..

...TESCO VALUE GRAVY I think it's quite likely that most people have a tub or packet of instant gravy or stock cubes etc lurking in the food cupboard somewhere. Perhaps in some homes only to make an appearance once or twice a week with the sunday roast or perhaps with a dinner such as Bangers and mash.. Well ..a couple of shops ago while picking my online order at tesco.com ,I had finished the shop all except going through check out when I remembered that I had run out of gravy during the week. So I thought i'd add some quick but seeing as I always shop to an exact budget and an average price for 200ml of instant gravy can be around 0.70p to just over £1.00 ,It was looking like I might have to take out one of my smaller items to free up some change for the gravy ... However as I am one of those who doesn't usually make gravy anymore...
