			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Using a professional house clearance or office clearance company takes all the hassle of clearing a property or business premises. In terms of business use, the minimisation of disruption is paramount.</p>
<p>As with many professional services such as office and house clearances, the company has years of experience and can carry out the service in a quick and efficient manner. Other services that a house clearance company normally provide are transportation, removals, waste disposal, <a href="http://www.centrallondonhouseclearance.co.uk/probate_valuation.php" target="_blank">probate valuation london</a> and antique and collectables valuations.<br />
<span id="more-313"></span><br />
Each house or office clearance job is different and is required for different reasons so it is important to use a well established house clearance company that can take care of all the matters concerning the clearance from valuations to the recycling of waste.</p>
<p>Many people are very aware of the need to reduce waste and preserve resources. When using a house or office clearance company, responsibility of both the client and service provider to be committed to recycling and re-using the items that are cleared. You should check the environmental policy of the company you are using and ensure all possible steps are taken to recycle or send items to be re-used.</p>
<p>The transportation of waste to responsible recycling facilities should be carried out. Items that can be re-used or re-sold can be taken to a wide range of businesses and charities to sell as second hand goods. This means items are being re-used so benefiting the environment but also money made from sales benefits charities.</p>
<p>Another service associated with house clearances is probate valuation. Probate is often a distressing and difficult process and a house clearance company can work closely with solicitors and private clients providing probate valuation services. Services provided include written probate valuations, insurance valuation and the advice on selling antiques, collectables and art etc. From then the same house clearance company can clear the property leaving it clean and tidy ready for sale or transfer.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Back in 2003 Devon was voted as the best place to live in England.  Whilst this is great news for Devon there are a couple of down sides. Firstly, there is a shortage of properties available for sale and secondly, house prices in Devon have soared with the increases being among the highest in the country.</p>
<p>For those interested in buying either <a href="http://www.stowfordcountrylodges.co.uk" target="_blank">Devon holiday homes</a>, or <a href="http://www.stowfordcountrylodges.co.uk" target="_blank">second homes in Devon</a>, but are struggling to find available properties within their budget, then an alternative would be to consider luxury lodge. There are a lot of advantages to choosing Devon lodges including the affordable price tag, the high quality finish and luxury furnishings.<br />
<span id="more-261"></span></p>
<p>These days holiday lodges come with better specifications than a lot of houses with broadband, sky TV, spacious plots, large decked areas, paved courtyards and all year round holiday use. Better still on some of the top Devon resorts you will also be able to make use of the onsite facilities such as heated indoor swimming pools, golf courses and equestrian centres.</p>
<p>You will also have peace of mind about the security of your home as the resort will provide a range of security and maintenance services including a private access controlled entrance to ensure your investment is protected all year round. In keeping with such a luxury investment, you will not be responsible for chores such as grass cutting and ground care around your lodge. These tasks will all be taken care of for you so that you are free to relax and make the best of your holiday time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This stretch of coast was designated an Area of Outstanding Natural beauty in 1959. The North Devon AONB is an area totalling 171 square kilometres, from Marsland Mouth on the Cornish border to Combe Martin. The Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty status means the area is nationally protected for the beauty of its landscape. The coastal landscape around Combe Martin is some of the best in the UK. From Combe Martin, the Hangman Cliffs can be seen made up of two cliffs Little Hangman and Great Hangman. Great Hangman is the highest cliff in southern Britain at a height of 328 meters above sea level. The South West Coastal Path runs right through the AONB and Combe Martin. This path is the longest in Britain at 613 miles starting at Minehead in Somerset and finishing at Bude in Cornwall. Although walking the whole path is out of the question for the majority of visitors to Devon, walking any part of it around the Combe Martin area is a must.</p>
<p>Combe Martin has grown in its visitor numbers and now has a large caravan site along with the ability to purchase <a href="http://www.stowfordcountrylodges.co.uk" target="_blank">Devon holiday homes</a> on site. These <a href="http://www.stowfordcountrylodges.co.uk" target="_blank">Devon holiday lodges</a> are growing in popularity. The Devon lodges can be found with two to four bedrooms so they are perfect for families with plenty of room to store surf boards and bikes. The location of Combe Martin is great for tranquillity but then Woolacombe and Croyde are only a short drive away for the surfing and younger crowds. Woolacombe and Croyde both hold a Blue Flag status for their beaches and surfing is in abundance.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pre-owned modular buildings have been recognised by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister as being extremely environmentally friendly compared with an equivalent new manufactured building.</p>
<p>The reason for this is that the embodied energy required to manufacture a modular building is transportable as the embodied energy is locked within the fabric of the building. Therefore the energy contained within pre-owned <a href="http://www.portablebuildingsales.co.uk" target="_blank">modular buildings</a> can be transported and relocated to another site. In traditional buildings this is largely lost when they are no longer required and demolished, even when the materials are re-cycled. However, with modular and <a href="http://www.portablebuildingsales.co.uk" target="_blank">portable buildings</a> the embodied energy can be relocated along with the modules to another site.</p>
<p><span id="more-155"></span></p>
<p>Where a modular or portable building is relocated, with minimal alteration, the amount of energy used is less than three percent of the energy that would be required to manufacture an equivalent new building. Even when the modular building is refurbished and reconfigured internally, the energy used is no more than ten percent of the energy that would be required to create a new modular building.</p>
<p>The Modular and Portable Buildings Association has produced an energy performance standards document (ADL-2A) which provides supporting information and guidelines for compliance with the Government’s special considerations relating to the design and construction of modular and portable buildings.<br />
So buying a quality pre-owned modular building not only saves you money and is an immediate solution to your accommodation needs, but it also makes a difference to the environment by recycling the embodied energy contained within the building.</p>
<p>Modular and portable buildings come in all different sizes including multi-story they can be used for such a wide variety of functions including mobile classrooms, <a href="http://www.portablebuildingsales.co.uk" target="_blank">temporary offices</a>, construction site accommodation and portable storage buildings.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dubai continues to grow despite the recent world economic crisis. The opening of the 1.5 billion dollar Atlantis, the Palm Hotel let the whole world know Dubai is not letting these tough times effect them.</p>
<p>The economy in Dubai is staggering. In 2007 GDP was registered at 54.3 billion US dollars and over the past 7 years, the economic growth was 18% Compounded Annual Growth Rate. Amazingly, the tourism, real estate and finance sectors are taking over as the main economic areas which used to be oil.</p>
<p>Growth of the population is detrimental to the growth of the economy. Between 2003 and 2007, the population created an 8% Compounded Annual Growth Rate which is sure to be logged down as higher as there are now an estimated 1.6 billion inhabitants in Dubai. This is predicted to increase to 2.2 billion by the year 2010. The <a href="http://www.findmeapropertyindubai.com" target="_blank">Dubai property</a> boom is going to be required with an increase in population such as that although it has been said that this should be capped to avoid saturation which is all too common in a situation like this.<br />
<span id="more-151"></span><br />
It is the diversification of the economic sectors and their growth that has created a strong economy in Dubai. This diversification has attracted Westerners to move to Dubai especially to the finance and tourism businesses. Dubai is becoming a world centre for finance institutions due to its specially designated business communities. These purpose-built mini cities such as Business Bay are making Dubai a recognized global commercial and business center. Business Bay for example is spread over an area of 64 million square feet with numerous landmark towers within.</p>
<p>To entice white collar workers and tourism specialists into Dubai, the regulations for entry have been changed. They have been reduced making it easier to live and work in Dubai. This has then affected the Dubai property market in a way that there are now a greater number of investors selling houses on the owner occupier basis and not for rent. This of course suits Westerners who are very keen on purchase and not rent. The stature of the workers entering Dubai is also shown by the high numbers of luxury <a href="http://www.findmeapropertyindubai.com/properties.asp" target="_blank">Dubai properties</a>. The high-income section of Dubai is most definitely the largest. The developers of the higher end <a href="http://www.findmeapropertyindubai.com" target="_blank">Dubai property</a> structures are seeing a greater occupancy rate too.</p>
<p>So, to conclude, it appears that in terms of the Dubai property market, luxury is the way forward in the current economic crisis.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Appreciation of <a href="http://www.findmeapropertyindubai.com" target="_blank">Dubai properties</a> grew rapidly between 2004 and 2006 due to the government deciding to change from the trade based economy to a services and tourism based economy. This had led to huge and groundbreaking skyscrapers so synonymous with Dubai today. <a href="http://www.findmeapropertyindubai.com" target="_blank">Dubai property</a> is so innovative. They have the tallest building in the world that is used solely as a hotel, the Burj Al Arab. This crown is soon to be taken from this iconic building with the completion of The Rose Tower. This tower was completed in 2007 but is yet to open as a hotel. Vying for the tallest building in the world is being undertaken by a number of developments which are still in construction and due to be completed around 2009. Approximately 50km away is a proposed 200 storey tower with a projected height on 1,200 metres!<br />
<span id="more-117"></span><br />
One of the latest groundbreaking Dubai property developments is the much publicised rotating tower. Each floor will have the ability to rotate 360 degrees independently so the tower is an ever changing structure in terms of shape and the views are ever changing for the residents. The speed of which it will rotate is anticipated to be around 6 metres per minute so that the residents will not feel the motion. Something which isn’t always associated with Dubai are eco friendly issues but the revolving tower is changing that. In between each floor are 48 wind turbines which will produce enough energy for the tower and surrounding buildings. Solar panels will also be fitted to the top of the building.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Popular with a broad clientele, this stretch of coast was designated an Area of Outstanding Natural beauty in 1959. Compromising of a total of 171 square kilometres, the North Devon AONB spans from Marsland Mouth on the Cornish border to Combe Martin and the edge of the Exmoor National Park. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>The Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty status means the area is nationally protected for the beauty of its landscape. It is made up of several distinct landscape types, each with its own special habitats and geology, including the most vulnerable and beautiful parts of the UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve centred around the village of Braunton and its estuary.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Due to the fantastic beaches, plentiful attractions and distinct landscape, <a href="http://www.stowfordcountrylodges.co.uk" target="_blank">Devon holiday homes</a> are a popular choice. Excellent transport links mean travelling to North Devon is quick and easy. The M5 motorway takes you right down to the junction with the main link road, the A361 leading to Barnstaple and then even Exeter airport is only 40 miles away. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>The area hosts a wide variety of gardens and houses, family attractions, theatres and leisure facilities. Sea and coarse fishing are accessible nearby and there are three top golf courses including two championship courses at Saunton. For golfers, <a href="http://www.stowfordcountrylodges.co.uk" target="_blank">second homes in Devon</a> are the ideal choice. <a href="http://www.stowfordcountrylodges.co.uk" target="_blank">Holiday Lodges in Devon</a> will provide much welcomed relaxing accommodation after a hard round of golf but with the space to store golf clubs and other kit.</span></p>

Dubai Sports City is growing by the day with high profile developments within it such an Ernie Els designed golf championship golf course called,&#8221;The Els Club”. Launched in January 2008, the course was opened by the creator and golfer himself, Ernie Els, ranked 5th in the world and the former Open and US Open champion. &#8220;The Els Club&#8221; was the first completed venue at Dubai Sports City and also the first in The Els Club brand in the world. This course has then led to residential developments being built with the focus on golf with many properties having views of the golf course. </span></span><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;" lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size: small;">Further major sports choosing Dubai for large tournaments if Cricket. The ICC will be moving their headquarters to Dubai with planned projects such as a global cricket academy at an expected cost of 25 million US dollars.</span></span></p>

<p><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;" lang="EN-GB"><span><font face="Calibri"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;" lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size: small;">All these high profile sports and subsequent sports and related people are then creating an even more cosmopolitan community and not just at <a href="http://www.findmeapropertyindubai.com/properties.asp" target="_blank">Dubai Sports City</a>. With the diverse range of <a href="http://www.findmeapropertyindubai.com/properties.asp" target="_blank">Dubai property</a> on offer, it is not just celebrities or the rich that are purchasing <a href="http://www.findmeapropertyindubai.com" target="_blank">Dubai properties</a>. Of course, the land mark towers such as the very highly anticipated revolving tower, will be of top most exclusivity but there is so much more to offer in Dubai. For example, many very well equipped apartment at Dubai Sports City, such as Eagle Heights and the Elite Sports Residence collection are beyond comprehension for most people compared with the investment property in the UK.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> <br />

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;" lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size: small;">Buying off-plan in Dubai property couldn’t be easier which is another plus point for the consumer. The discounts available are hard to say no too with many being sold in a matter of days. The downward turn in the property markets in the UK and USA looks not to have made any difference to the market in Dubai.</span></span></p>

</span><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Calibri;"><a href="http://www.findmeapropertyindubai.com/properties.asp" target="_blank">Dubai properties</a> have risen by more than 20% in the past 2 years – Dubai property is still set to see estimated growth in excess of 12% per annum </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Calibri;">Tax Free<br />

</span><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Calibri;">Dubai properties are still far cheaper than most major cities – if you could invest in London Docklands 10 years ago would you? Yes</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Calibri;">Demand vs Supply<br />

</span><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Calibri;">Dubai is the business hub of the Middle East, with a 24 hour stock exchange and Business Bay under way, Dubai’s Manhattan! Offering prime commercial &amp; residential investment opportunities. </span><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Calibri;">And then to top it off of course, year round sunshine and a cosmopolitan lifestyle with an array of entertainment options to suit every taste.</span></p>
