Escape from the election –
buy a Cornish bunker!
Electioneering has hardly started but if it drives you bonkers you could buy The Bunker and escape from it all. This piece of history from World War II is at St. Levan near Penzance and has recently been converted into a rather different country residence. Forget about everything and enjoy 360 degree sea views from its grassy roof at the end of the country. The price of security and seclusion? £425,000.

Lettings agency Jordan’s has launched a property maintenance company. Jigsaw Property Care, in Wilmslow has an electrician, gas and heating expert, plumber, gardener, cleaner and painter and decorator. It also provides EPCs and general handyman services for landlords and agents across the North West. William Jordan, MD of Jordan’s and co-owner of Jigsaw Property Care, said, “This business complements our lettings operation enabling us to handle all the property needs of a landlord or tenant. We launched the business in response to demand from
tenants and landlords.” Helen Dalton, director of Jigsaw Property Care, said, “We’re off to a busy start due to the snow and cold related problems.
