  The Which? Guide to Renting and Letting   The Which? Way to Buy, Sell and Move House  
 

So you've moved out of that crumbling student dwelling they called a "house". Now you're looking for your first home to launch your career from. If you can buy, good for you: but, for most of you, renting is the way ahead. Learn all you need to know from this book and don't get into a pickle. The law of landlord and tenant can be a minefield for the unwary. Set yourself in the picture with this informative guide.

 

If you've finished with letting and want to get on the property ladder yourself, or have been on it some time and want to get off, then this is the book for you. It explains every aspect of buying and selling a house, from dealing with estate agents to getting a valuation or survey done and organizing and surviving a move. Packed with practical tips and contacts, the guide also covers buying or selling your home online and includes a glossary of financial and legal terms. A separate chapter deals with the different system that operates in Scotland.

 

 
  The New London Property Guide
2003-2004
  Small Spaces  
 

We don't want to pretend you all live in London, but for most it is their preferred first destination. However many times you've visited, you'll still need to know the facts regarding where to live. This annual guide presents you with cross-London price charts show how much buys you what, and where. The main A-Z section focuses on area profiles, with descriptions of over 480 neighbourhoods from Acton to Wimbledon. Practical details about the facilities and market in each area are combined with colourful street-by-street character analysis so that you can find a neighbourhood just right for you.

 

 

Unless you're in the money, chances are your first few places won't be the expansive palaces you dreamt of at school. Size is of the essence and this book is all about making the most of the space you have. Whether you live in a one-space apartment, or have one key room that's just too small, it includes case studies of real homes showing how clever use of decorative elements can create an illusive feeling of space.

 
 
  Beyond Baked Beans   How to Garden
 
 
Well beans might have sufficed at Uni, but now you've graduated it's time to move on. This is supposed to be a book for students, but none of the students we knew had much more than beans at Uni so we're featuring it here. Cooking's not that bad, and this great book shows you just how easy it can be to make yourself something nice for a change!
 

You probably didn't even water the plants as a student, but now you've got a place of your own you want to keep whatever garden you have even if only to show it off at barbeques. This really basic book is great for starters. If you've never had your own patch of soil to play with before, this practical, easy-to-follow guide really will save your sanity.
