ple attended, which is splendid. “It was’also excellent to see the


return of cattle, sheep and goats that were cancelled last year due , to the foot-and-mouth scare.”

Techno-gadgets make a place feel Tike home


0 IT might have been the _ decade that taste forgot, but


® it seems many Brits still yearn for 1980s technology


o around the home, from s kitchen innovations like Soda Streams to living room


^ shelves bulging with vinyl . and video collections. According to new


. research from Halifax Home Insurance, almost one in three of those surveyed (30%) prefer 1980s tradi­ tions such as shelves stacked with vinyl albums, 12-inch singles and video cassettes. Just over half those


quizzed (53%) believe the current “Noughties” decade will come to be viewed as the best for home gadget innovation, thanks to the likes of Sky Plus, Nintendo Wii and the iPhone. The research, conducted


^ among 2,000 people- w nationwide, compared ^ Britain’s-homes of today with those of 25 years ago (1983) arid also speculated


• on what our homes could


look like 25 years from now, in 2033, when most people believe home technology will be cheaper. The research by Halifax Home Insurance also,


found: • In 1983, 68% of those


surveyed had a record play­ er in their living room, while 51% were also likely to be found wearing a Sony Walk­ man and 47% an original LED digital watch. ; • The most popular tech­ nological items in the living . rooms of 2008 are PCs (in

Insurance yangerof living with


a NERD ACCORDING to new research from Halifax Home Insurance, more than seven million British households are living with NERDs - that’s a “Never Ending Renovation Drama” - an unfinished DIY or home renovation proj­ ect. In more detail, the


research reveals that more than 1.7 million Brits have been living with a NERD tor more than two years and almost 250,000 house­ holds are so resigned to their ongoing DIY nightmare that they have lived with their NERD tor more than 10 years!


Householders taking


75% of homes), laptops (65%), iPods (45%) and plasma screen ’TVs (29%). • Predictions for the


kitchen in 2033 include washing machines that iron clothes and cookers con­ trolled remotely by voice recognition. • Predictions for the 2033


living room include giant wall-mounted screens used jointly for TV, surfing the internet and video phone calls, plus temperature-sen­ sitive central heating and music systems which pipe music into every room,


including the toilet and gar­ den shed. David Rochester, Halifax


Home Insurance head of underwriting, said: 'The dig­ ital revolution has allowed entire music, film and TV collections to be stored dig-. italiy out of sight, but for many peofDle - certainly those old enough to actually remember the 80s - they miss being able to display their.tastes around the home for visitors to see. “We’ve certainly moved


away from having clutter in our homes towards'more


ordered, neat living spaces - people who had a bulky music system in the 80s, with turntable,.cassette decks and giant speakers, for instance, are now likely to have an iPod, which they’ ll remove from their pocket, slip into a neat speaker docking system when they want some music, and then take away with them they leave the home. . “The technology sur­


rounding home gadgets and electrical appliances is always going to be rapidly.


developingjust compare 1983 with 2008 - and it’s vital that companies like Halifax Home Insurance keep up with latest trends so our products can be tai­ lored to them.” But while home technolo­


gy is guaranteed to develop over the next 25 years, one thing is set to stay the same: three quarters of those surveyed (74%) said that whatever new gadgets appear around the home in the future, children will still be the ones most likely to know how to use them!


on sizeable DIY and renovation projects even risk invalidating their home insurance policies if they take on complex electrical, plumbing or building work that they are not trained to complete. If an unqualified house­ holder causes a tire with their faulty wiring, or floods the house when installing a show­ er, they could find they are left picking up the cost of the damage. Bedrooms top the


league table of unfin­ ished DIY and renova­ tion projects at 38% and there are an aston­ ishing 2.8 million unfin­ ished kitchens. Halt the people with


an unfinished project blamed a lack of time, while almost a third (29%) blamed a lack of cash.


Clearer view by going local


FOLLOWING the recent release of the annual Nationwide house price index, house buyers are being urged to pay more atten­ tion to the local picture where they live. . Responding to the report


Peter Bolton King, Chief Execu­ tive of the National Association of Estate Agents, said: “The report in question started at a period of time when the proper­ ty market was experiencing phenomenai growth. • it wouid have been impossi-


bie for the market to sustain the surge in house prices that it had been experiencing in the ‘boom’ period. Despite the Nationwide report revealing that the price of a typical house fell by 1.7% in July, it is important to remember that the prices are on average


E11,000 higher than three years,


ago. “It is also pivotal to remember


the report shows a national snapshot of the market which obviously can only tell part of any story. In order to gain a clearer picture there is a need to look regionally. “We are already aware from


our own members that house prices are being affected differ­ ently throughout the country so to see that the report showed an aggregate drop in house price comes as no surprise. However, there is a real need to keep this in perspective. The picture is mixed across the country and some areas will be more affected than others, so people really need to look to their local markets to get a true


picture. Finally, there is no denying that the credit crunch has affected confidence in the market - but it is still important to remember that the underlying factors that support the proper­ ty market remain: low unem­ ployment, historically low inter­ est rates and a pent-up demand for houses. “Therefore, rather than a dra­


matic fall that some ‘doom and gloom’ merchants are predict­ ing, we should look towards the medium-term; where there are no reasons to suggest that prices of homes won’t return to a more steady pace in the future.” •T h e NAEA is the residential


sales arm of the National Feder­ ation of Property Professionals (NFOPP)
