Crash? What crash?

I hung on for years and years wary of buying convinced there would be a crash. If I'd bought when I first could, even if there had been a crash I'd be better off than I am now. If I'd bought at the very top of the market just before the last crash, I...

RE: That's top of my list too

it was financed mainly by Sequoia, the venture capital firm. Previous investments for them included Apple, Paypal, Cisco and ironically Google itself. They put $11m in, which gave them around 30% of the equity. Plus those rumours of spending $1m a da...

RE:

Zombie squirrel, like it.Yep. Shame no-one was willing to make the same kind of investment in popex. Perhaps you should suggest to Google that they buy the rights from Channelfly & hire you as head programmer (host the code on a decent machine).. Do ...

Really bad and sad news about Paul Hunter, he was only 27 and had just become a dad, should have known things were very serious when his ranking was frozen earlier this year, that's an unusual move, though we really thought and hoped he'd recover.Als...

Get a copy of the local paper

I think it depends on the area and it depends on what sort of deposit you have. I've had my two bedroom place two years now, and I think it was worth the 140k we paid for it, but if we were to rent it out the most I've seen a two bed advertised for i...

Roger De Haan's plans for the town

I lived in Folkestone for the first 21 years of my life and then left to study up north 11 years ago and never moved back. All of my family still live in the town so I visit regularly a few times every year. It may be my 'rose tinted specs' view of...

RE: There's a high speed rail link on the way

Pauly, I'm looking to relocate to Folkestone as I want to get out of London and commute to Office. Attracted to Folkestone because of all the investment + major reason being high speed link. However everyone I ask has a different opinion on whether...

Kirstie and Phil tip DOVER!

No not "tipped over", they recommend Dover as a good place to invest, they say it's a high risk investment though... indeed, buy in Folkestone instead!...

Ah Dover was thrown in as a bit of a gamble

A High Risk says the Where Best To Invest website:3000 new jobs could be created by a �100 million expansion of the White Cliffs Business Park, but it all rests on whether a certain DIY store decides to relocate. Even without the investment, house pr...

...fingers crossed anyway!

Folky wasn't on the 10 best investments with that weird couple on TV...

Dover and Brighton were though...

RE: As one store closes...

An old property investment adage has it that a good place to invest is somewhere that has a Blockbuster, but not yet a Starbucks. So Folkestone must be on the up.Dunno what the denizens of Folkestone would make of Fresh & Wild; probably think it was ...

I live in the West End and would recommend there

I would say somewhere between the station and the town would be a good bet, have a look at the property map to see what streets that is.There's a high speed rail link coming in the next few years that will make Folkestone a feasible commuter town for...

Fitter, happier, more productive

I'm not falling into the trap of making resolutions, but I am going to try and get a few more things sorted. Had a fairly productive Christmas, so why not continue in this vein? Oh yes, spurred on by my new toilet seat, here's what I'm achieving...We...

RE: Marine Crescent

BBC NEWS | UK | Magazine | Full steam ahead

Investment has been at record levels and high profile projects, such as the new dedicated fast line from Folkestone to London, and the inter-city track upgrade from London to Glasgow, are starting to come to fruition, says the BBC... quick, this succ...

Folkestone property crash!

Was a bit concerned to spot that a flat next door was up for sale for less than we paid for ours, is this the start of the supposed fall in prices? Luckily, no, just checked the details and it's smaller than ours and not fully double glazed, so it lo...

Folkestone in The Guardian

Here is the article from the Guardian that bigs up Folkestone, "This is an English seaside town that breathes creativity as deeply as it does the saline air that blows in from the Channel" it says here... nice one, lots about Saga founder Roger De Ha...

Earls Avenue

Have seen BILLIONS of places down in Folkestone so far this week, the star of which has been a mad 3 bed flat over two levels which has it's own bar, roof terrace, separate dining room, lounge, TV room AND study, but the thing that's been stopping me...

Siegfried and Roy

Wondering if this "Montecore says Get The Horn" t-shirt might be too obscure for most of the popbitch audience... hope it's a money spinner for them. Now that www.peoplenews.com is gone, surely popbitch is prime for investment / takeover? Fingers cro...

Weekend in Folkestone

Not feeling too clever for spending all day and all night in Chambers, but good weekend anyway. Didn't see any houses, though got a few ideas from property guides and that - stretching to buying a house with a self contained flat (not necessarily tha...

The Quarter

I picked up a magazine called The Quarter, which is a kind of fanzine for the creative community of the area. No, me either, but then I clearly don't know the place at all.. Anyway, it's articles and listings and that promoting a sense of artistic we...

Fig Cafe

The cafe that was the highlight of my weekend is called Fig, and is in the Metropole Hotel (not actually a hotel any more) and it's all vegan and organic and everything. I doubt that the area has seen such a thing before, and our lunch was so good (I...
