East Kilbride Shopping Centre is up for sale with a £175million price tag.

Owners of newly built homes are being warned they could be landed with a massive bill for subsidence if they cut down existing trees and plant new ones to improve the look of their gardens.
Warranty claims in cases where builders replace mature trees while developing properties are running at £4million a year.

The EC has recommended that the British government should “deploy appropriate measures to respond to the rapid increases in property prices in areas that account for a substantial share of economic growth in the United Kingdom, particularly London”.
Here are their three core recommendations:
1. Raise taxes on higher value homes
“At the moment, increasing property values are not translated into higher property taxes as the property value roll has not been updated since 1991,” the EC’s report says.
The commission recommends reforms to taxation of housing and land, in order to “alleviate

Which celebrity’s home would you most love to design?
I'm currently in the process of moving and don't even have time to design my own, let alone another celebrity's. Celebrities are actually a nightmare…and I'm one of the worst clients…so you'd need a sense of bravery to take on such a project.
