"We have eliminated risk"

As the title says, Does anyone know of an offshore account that would allow me to hold funds in GBP EUR and CHF and transfer between as needed. Doing a google for offshore accounts seemed to return GBP EUR and USD. I don't want USD but would rather like CHF. I'm a IT contractor that works in both the UK and Europe so having an account for GBP and EUR with CHF as a safe haven is desirable. Neil

Do the lenders have any clauses that allow them to change 10 yr / 25 yr fixed rate mortgages to variable rate. I wouldn't have though that any lender would want to commit to that period of time or do they just sell off the loan to someone else. It would be interesting to know if the people who took out a long fixed term can be affected by high interest rates when they thought they were immune. Neil

I've been looking on right move at rentals in the Swindon area just to compare with my current rent. There are plenty of these new builds and they all seem to be of a combined 'open plan' kitchen and lounge (ie a living room with kitchen cabinets) as well a two tiny bed??rooms.

Looking through Tuesday's TV listings the description of the next show is.... -Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer offer home-buying advice. -Childhood friends Rosie and Laura want to buy a two-bed property in East London on a tight budget of 220,000 pounds. 'on a tight budget of 220k' ????
