UK Study Says Home Improvements Now a Waste of Money

Frankly, I found this UK study shocking and don’t know whether to believe its truth.  According to recent research by Abbey Bank, real estate agents in not-so-merry-ol-England are now advising clients NOT to do the ever popular kitchen and bath home improvements during the down market.  The reason given is most of the money spent […]
