If you’re moving into a new home or renovating your current home to give it an entirely new look, you might be wondering whether to opt for ready-made or custom-made furniture. The most important part is getting furniture that speaks to you as your home is the one place that you really get to be yourself and, and a space that reflects who you are. So, it’s no surprise that more and more people are opting for custom-made furniture that can be designed in a unique style that you love. After all, it can be really frustrating to spend a large amount of money on a living room set or dining table only to find out that a friend or relative has the exact same one. Opting for custom-made furniture can have plenty of benefits over choosing mass-produced items. Here are some of the top reasons why it is a great idea.
You Can Be Sure of a Perfect Fit
Unlike mass-produced furniture which might not always be exactly the right fit for your home, custom-made furniture is built for the space, which makes it an ideal option for rooms that have unique features, or small spaces that require specifically sized furniture that can be difficult to source ready-made. Many houses have ‘problem areas’ where no ready-made furniture is going to fit perfectly; in this case, bespoke furniture is the best choice with pieces that are created especially for your room to ensure that they fit perfectly and achieve the look you want.
More Choice and Options
While you might be able to choose the look of ready-made furniture from the various options available, the truth is that while many mass-produced furniture pieces look great, they are often made from some of the cheapest materials available and will wear out quickly. On the other hand, opting for custom-made furniture means that you can choose each element and use exactly the materials that you want from the type of wood to the fabric and even the stitching. CNC Creations offers a panel processing and CNC panel cutting service allowing you to choose the type and size of timber that you want to use for your custom furniture to create the exact look that you want.
Designs That Reflect You
Bespoke furniture means that you get to make sure that your home has its own style, making it unique and different from all the other houses. Choosing custom-made furniture means that you can put together designs that reflect you and your personal sense of style. This can be applied in several different ways whether you’re looking to furnish your living room, home office, bedroom or even your entire home. Custom-made furniture gives you the opportunity to be sure that every piece in your home is unique to you.
Save Money
No matter how much your custom-made furniture costs you, you can usually be sure that the same style is going to cost you more when it is ready-made. Opting for bespoke furniture is often the most budget-friendly solution for homeowners who are looking to breathe new life into their space. Custom-made furniture means that you have the option to make sure that you stay within your budget by choosing the best options for you in terms of materials and style to ensure that you create a unique look without having to spend more than you need.
Retains Value
Regardless of how much you use it, custom-made furniture tends to be high-quality pieces that will retain their value over time. If you ever reach a point where you want to sell a bespoke furniture piece, they tend to reach a lot more money compared to ready-made pieces in the second-hand market because people know that they are unique. Along with being the best way to get a unique look for your home, having custom-made furniture can also be a great investment.
Get Expert Advice
Not every homeowner is an expert about carpentry and quality materials that will last a long time. But when you opt for bespoke, custom-made furniture, you get expert advice from the craftspeople that you are working with. Not only will they be able to help you decide on the best materials to use for your furniture, but they can also assist you when it comes to choosing the right furniture design that will fit perfectly and complement your rooms. You can get expert advice about the best and most effective way to take advantage of each room in your home while managing to keep a consistent look throughout your home.
Support Local Businesses
Opting for custom-made furniture also gives you a chance to support local businesses in your area. Rather than purchasing ready-made furniture from a national chain brand, opting for bespoke furniture pieces means that you can get behind artists and craftspeople in your area by using products that they create from scratch. Compared to ready-made furniture, local craftspeople will often invest a large amount of time and effort into your furniture piece and when you receive it, you will immediately see the difference.
DIY Options
Another appealing reason to opt for custom-made furniture is that you can even make it yourself. If you are artistic and good with DIY, there are plenty of options for you to create your own furniture for your home from custom-made beds to chairs and other furniture items. Making something yourself can be a hugely satisfying experience and from the start, as you’ll be able to have full control over your project to ensure that everything is exactly the way that you want it. And, there’s also the huge sense of pride that comes with knowing you created a functional piece of furniture in your home that looks great too.
Make Changes
Unlike ready-made furniture which can be difficult to customise or change in the future, bespoke furniture can be easier to adjust later down the line. If you decide to change the decor in your home, for example, it is often easier to change some things about your custom furniture pieces such as the fabric materials used or by giving the wooden elements a fresh coat of paint in a different colour. With ready-made furniture, you’d need to consider its look or replace it completely to fit with a new colour scheme in your home, but bespoke furniture is easier to change so it fits in.
Get the Family Involved
If you have kids at home, one of the best reasons to choose custom-made furniture for them is that you can get them more involved in the decision-making process. Children often love picking out new furniture and decor for their room, and bespoke furniture takes this even further by allowing them to choose the design that they would like for custom-made furniture pieces for their space in your home. This can give them the chance to get in touch with their creative side and come up with some unique and different ideas.
If you need to furnish a single room or your entire house, there are plenty of great reasons to consider getting custom-made furniture made. Custom-made furniture can be designed to be completely unique to you and your home, providing the exact look that you want.
It is not uncommon to find yourself in a position where difficulties selling your current home stand in the way of a planned relocation.
You have found your dream home at a price too good to pass up but selling the home you live in is proving more challenging than you expected. A frustrating setback, though one that can be overcome by considering let to buy.
Why Would I Let to Buy?
As the name suggests, let to buy refers to the process of letting out your current property to enable you to buy a new home. You let out your current home to tenants, use the rental income to cover your outstanding mortgage payments and take out a new mortgage on the home you want to buy.
Your tenants effectively pay your current mortgage which allows you to arrange a new mortgage for the purchase property. The important thing to remember is that where a property is difficult to sell, this does not mean it cannot and will not generate an attractive and ongoing rental income.
Do I Need a Different Type of Mortgage?
The short answer is yes. A let to buy mortgage is not quite the same as a conventional residential mortgage. Taking advantage of a let to buy opportunity means first switching the standard mortgage on your current home to a specialist let to buy mortgage, which may have entirely different terms, conditions, and repayment rates (interest).
When applying for a new mortgage for the property you intend to buy, you will need to have the usual deposit, however, if you already have enough equity tied up in your current home, you have the option of remortgaging to use some of this equity to cover your deposit requirements.
Using a let to buy mortgage calculator can be useful for building an understanding of how let to buy works and how much extra you can borrow. It is also essential to compare mortgages from as many specialist lenders as possible, with the help and support of an established broker.
Can I Afford a Let to Buy Venture?
Your broker will help you establish if and to what extent let to buy is something you can afford. To qualify you will need to provide evidence that your rental income will cover your outstanding mortgage payments by at least 100%.
In addition, it is important to factor in the responsibilities and costs of being a landlord. Ownership of two properties means funding the upkeep, repairs, renovations and so on. Not to mention, the fact that rental income can also taxable.
Independent Broker Support….
Letting out a property to enable you to buy a new home can be an effective and often profitable strategy, in instances where selling simply isn’t an option, however, it is a decision that should never be taken without first consulting with an independent broker.
At UK Property Finance, we can provide you with the objective advice and support you need to make the right decision for your financial future. Call or email anytime to book your obligation free consultation with a member of the team.
In chess, defenses are the openings made by Black. While White can propose an opening for the game, Black can take the initiative and establish an opening strategy that suits him and to which White must adapt.
These types of openings are called “defense” because Black will always seek to be on the defensive at the beginning and then begin to execute his attacks.
There are many defenses in chess, but in this article, we will show you only the best defenses in chess that are explained by Anatoly Machulsky and the ones that are also most popular among all.
The accepted lady gambit:
Few chess players are fully prepared when playing White to face an accepted queen’s gambit.
Usually players of a high level of chess expect another type of defense from Black when they propose this gambit (1. d4, d5 2. c4, dxc4) such as the semi-Slav defense, the Indian defense of the king or the more common lady’s gambit refused.
Of course, that your opponent is unaware of some lines of this defense will give you an advantage only if you study all the lines available for this defense.
Knowing all the sub variants, like Anatoly Machulsky, you will have a significant advantage over White by accepting their proposed queen gambit.
The accepted queen’s gambit is not too rocky a defense like other variants that can occur with this gambit.
Still, precisely because of this, it is a surprise for high-level players, who undoubtedly expect a different kind of response from Black.
The mainline for Black’s accepted queen gambit is 3. Nf3, Nf6 4. e3. Of course, in this line, White wants to capture the pawn on c4 and thus develop a piece and also regain the pawn that was initially offered.
Grunfeld Defense:
If you are a player who does not like everyday openings but wants to surprise your opponent with a defense focused on creating a super-fast fianchetto on the kingside, thus preparing a super reliable and rugged to penetrate castling for the white.
The mainline of this defense is the following: 1.d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3.Nc3 d5 4.cxd5 Nxd5 5.e4.
As you will see, Black is prepared to control the large diagonals of the board with the possibility of a double fianchetto, in addition to the fact that the black king will be very well protected.
This type of defense for Black has its detractors, which are mainly chess players who love the classic style of play of the 19th century, where both players focused on building a strong center.
Meran Defense:
This defense, in its Meran variant, seeks to give a forceful response to White’s uncomfortable move 1. d4 for Black.
In this variation, Black will focus on creating a triangular-shaped pawn structure that will be able to protect the black king beautifully.
It has been seen in different games around the world, including in semi-advanced player games up to international grandmasters and world champion’s games, so do not be afraid to study each of the lines that may result from its mainline, the which is: 1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.Nc3 e6.
Beginners who play chess have an excellent opportunity during the winter holidays to spend a little more time on their favorite hobby. In this article, we propose some activities for beginners to use the time they dedicate to chess in the best way.
Tips for beginners to improve their chess this winter:
Review your chess games played during the year:
The chess games that beginners play during the competitions in which they participate should be reviewed as soon as possible.
But we already know that with studies, homework, extracurricular activities and other obligations, they do not always have time for it. Winter can be an excellent time to analyze those games that beginners have played and have not yet reviewed.
“This work can be done with their teachers or chess monitors, but beginners who do not have a chess teacher can indeed spend part of their time trying to find errors in their games.” explains Anatoly Machulsky
One of the benefits of chess is that it gives you the ability to learn from your own mistakes, but this requires investing a little time.
Participate in tournaments
In winter too many chess tournaments abound as well as other chess competitions in which beginners can also participate.
Attend a chess winter/summer camp
Anatoly Machulsky continues: “Over time the offer of winter/summer chess camps has increased. These chess camps are a right occasion for children to learn and have fun.”
In most camps, in addition to receiving chess classes and being able to play many games, children have the opportunity to do other parallel leisure activities. They are also a good meeting point where you can meet other children who love chess.
Organize the study of chess:
Children who are going to spend time studying chess during the winter/summer should plan this work first to optimize that work most appropriately.
To do this, they must divide their time realistically and trying to cover the different phases of the game. Going over the opening repertoire is sure to be a good idea, but don’t forget the midgame and the endgame.
To improve in the middle game, it is always good to spend some time solving tactical problems. Also, to improve the calculation, as indicated in the article dedicated to improving tactics.
Watching challenging games and trying to find the best continuations, move by move, can be a good exercise for children to improve their chess.
Set future goals
And with the end of the school year, it would not be a bad thing to look back and see how chess has gone during the year, take stock and, above all, set new goals for the following season.
Those goals must be realistic and do not necessarily have to be linked to sports results. A child may set the goal of participating in a certain number of tournaments, reading individual books, or practising on the internet relatively frequently.
Since its introduction in the early 1980s, the government’s Right to Buy scheme has helped millions of qualifying council tenants get on the property ladder.
Criticised in its early stages by some as a niche concept, the popularity of Right to Buy to this day paints a picture of a quite remarkable success story.
An Extraordinary Property Purchase Platform
For almost four decades, Right to Buy has been single-handedly carving out an entirely new area of the property sector and has helped countless council tenants purchase their properties at discounted rates. Latterly however Right to Buy has also played directly into the hands of enterprising landlords, some of whom have amassed multimillion-pound portfolios of properties in key locations, generating massive monthly revenues from rental income.
According to official government figures, Right to Buy helped more than 1 million property occupants get on the property ladder in 2008 alone. In addition, the total value of the Right to Buy mortgage market for 2013 topped £20 billion.
While the scheme has been criticised for the ease with which it can be ‘exploited’ by ‘profiteering’ landlords, it is nonetheless evidence that it has transformed the lives of millions of households. The overwhelming majority of which may have otherwise never have set foot on the property ladder.
Growing Demand for Affordable Housing
What has also become evident over the past couple of years is the way in which the government is not likely to come close to meeting its affordable home building targets for the foreseeable future. According to the most recent estimates, at least 1 million new affordable rental properties need to be built by 2023, simply to meet current demand. In the meantime, government has also promised to become more ‘tenant focused’ in its approach i.e. to take aim at unscrupulous landlords and help more renters find affordable housing.
Still, the fact that property prices in general across the UK have been rising over recent years makes the affordable housing issue even more challenging. Incentives for developers and construction companies willing to work on affordable housing projects have helped, but the appeal of capitalising on skyrocketing property prices is evident and understandable.
A Success Story Set to Continue
2020 will go down in history as one of the most turbulent years for the housing market in living memory. For much of the year, buyers and sellers alike have been reluctant to make important decisions regarding property investments, relocations and sales.
When the real estate sector returns to strength as predicted in 2021, interest in Right to Buy property purchases is expected to spike once again. A wave of pent-up demand is likely to be released on the sector, coupled with the desire to get on the property ladder at an affordable price.

The wellness industry is one of the most impacted industries by CBD. In fact, CBD is making cannabis a legitimate compound in the wellness world. The main reason for this positive change is the fact that CBD does not have psychoactive effects. But not just that, because CBD offers tons of therapeutic properties that should be part of wellness products. We are going to explain more about these factors below and help you understand it better. Our main focus will be on mentioning some of the benefits of CBD and then explain its role in the overall health state of our body and mind.
The health-related benefits of taking CBD
CBD or cannabidiol is a natural compound of the cannabis plant that is impacting the way people look at cannabis. If some of us or all of us thought about cannabis only as an addictive and illegal plant, CBD is changing that. CBD and its beneficial properties are making cannabis an important option to consider regarding health and wellness.
For most of the present and the previous users, CBD provides numerous health benefits. CBD products and CBD oil, in particular, have a wide range of usage in many ways. Medical applications like stress, pain, anxiety, depression, and much more can all be treated with CBD products. Many people after getting to know about these benefits for themselves started to use CBD products also for their pets. The effects are very similar due to the similarity of the endocannabinoid system between animals and humans.
Then, the need to include CBD in the wellness products emerged. In general, the ever-increasing awareness towards CBD and hemp was the main accelerator to spread CBD applications in other industries. Many retailers are adapting to this change and are now selling CBD products. More and more countries are becoming part of this new era of beneficial cannabis compounds.
The role of CBD in wellness products
The global market of CBD-containing products has a bright future ahead. The experts in the field expect more than a 400% increase in the next 4 or 5 years. In recent years, after numerous scientific studies and research, there is no doubt that CBD is beneficial. In fact, CBD and a wide variety of CBD products are effective on almost everything regarding health and wellness. From headaches to skin conditions, CBD relaxes all parts of our body and mind.
Not only CBD oils, but CBD is now on creams, gel, etc. A lot of wellness industry players are spending and investing in CBD, with the main aim to include it in their products. To give you a clear idea of why take a look at this array of the properties of cannabidiol: analgesic or pain reliever, anti-inflammatory, antianxiety, antipsychotic, seizure reducer, and much more.
Where can you find CBD in the wellness industry?
CBD is now a massive player inside the wellness world and you can find it in many products. The most common are CBD beauty products and skincare products in particular. Skincare products are the most wanted products these days and CBD is making them even better. We will not get into details of CBD’s role in skincare products, but here you can find why CBD is good for the skin.
This is not all because you can find CBD in food products, in many food supplements and beverages. There are also fitness products that contain CBD and sleep products that contain it too. It is not a secret that CBD is really good for sleep, so why not involve it in sleep products.
In conclusion, most expect CBD to continue growing in regard to the wellness industry, and those who don’t adapt to it might fall behind in the market. If you have any doubts about it, you can always make a visit to your doctor and discuss the CBD’s potential.
When hiring employees, everything rests on the hiring manager and the company’s hiring process to make sure that not only the right candidate is given the position but also the right person for the job.
After all, resumes can look very deceiving, and sometimes in cases that you may not initially expect.
While others can look very expertly written despite not having enough experience to vouch for their capability to handle the job well, it is becoming increasingly common for those with a good number of years and experience to fool managers even though the candidates themselves are not a good fit both for the position and the company culture.
Fortunately, pre-employment tests such as the Wonderlic test and the SHL test, have been developed and fine-tuned to make sure that applicants are not only competent but are also the best possible person that you can give the job. You can find out more about the Wonderlic test here: https://www.wonderlictestprep.com/what-is-the-wonderlic-test.
So let’s take a good look at how such assessments can not only help you hire good employees but also great people that both you and your clients would love to work with for the years to come.
It can show you just how the applicant ‘fits the mold’
Personality tests, such as the SHL Personality Questionnaire, and a cognitive test has been used by many prominent companies to measure just how compatible a prospective employee is with your company in terms of behavior and attitude if not their ability to adjust to the work environment and position that they are trying to fill in.
It does this by comparing the responses of the applicants with a personality profile which contains the best possible levels of personality traits of the ideal employee already in that position.
For example, for a customer service position, you would want someone who has good interpersonal skills, perseverance, and some decision-making skills.
For those in upper management, someone with good leadership skills as well as long-term decision-making skills would be ideal.
Other tests measure specific skills that are considered vital to a particular profession like a prospective lawyer’s critical thinking skills with the Watson Glaser Test.
Such tests can show you a candidate’s drive
Pre-employment assessment tests are not only able to measure a person’s abilities that are related to their occupation, they can also help hiring managers have a good view of an applicant’s drive and motivations.
Unlike interviews where answers can be rehearsed to the point that everything can sound genuine, these tests have special algorithms put into place which can warn you if an applicant is purposefully manipulating their answers.
Alternatively, these can also be used to prove just how honest they are with you if their results and their interview process reveal the same behavioral profile.
This means that by utilizing such a test, you can prevent yourself from hiring a lazy assistant manager, a standoffish clerk, or an unmotivated salesperson, saving you the trouble of having to wait for the end of their contract.
Unless the candidate managed to make good use of a SHL practice test of sorts, then it is virtually impossible to cheat this exam.
They measure one’s decision-making and time management skills well
While this is more prevalent in the Wonderlic test as it was designed to measure that skill along with a person’s cognitive abilities as a whole, many pre-employment exams out there have a secondary function or purpose of allowing a company to have first-hand knowledge of how well they handle a situation.
In the case of the Wonderlic test, test-takers are forced to make a compromise between trying to answer all 50 questions within the 12-minute time limit or just focusing on ones that they are sure to land points on but risk not getting as much in the end.
Other assessments, however, are more extensive, and can even give you a preview of what sort of person the candidate is at the workplace.
While these tests can come in many different names and brands, they are specifically known as situational judgement tests.
Unlike the Wonderlic Assessment and SHL test, these exams work by presenting a number of scenarios to the test-taker and they will be tasked with figuring out which of the listed choices is the best course of action to take in order to resolve them.
These situations are generally curated to mimic the problems that an employee in the job position that they want encounters on a regular, if not daily basis.
Through this, you can immediately know if they are the right person for the job because you will see from their responses just what kind of employee they are and what their methodology looks like when trying to resolve a conflict, misunderstanding, confrontation, or even just social missteps at the office.
Some situational judgement tests are even designed to focus on particular job positions and their related tasks such as accounting, administrative, and sometimes even healthcare-related activities where technical terms (such as legal jargon and procedures) have to be understood and complex calculations (such as medicine dosage for a particular bodyweight, among other factors) will have to be performed in order for them to figure out which course of action needs to be taken.
Homeowners can choose from a variety of plans to reduce their repair or replacement costs. When protecting their assets, the homeowners choose homeowner’s insurance policies to cover the cost of repairs or replacement. A home warranty, on the other hand, gives the homeowner options for repairing appliances and vital systems inside the home. The warranty provides the homeowner with generous savings when an appliance or system fails and needs repairs. It can also prevent the homeowner from facing a financial hardship. Reviewing the benefits of a home warranty shows the homeowner better ways to keep their costs low and maintain their installations.
Keeping Repair Costs Lower
Many home repairs equate to hundreds of dollars that most homeowners just don’t have, and it could present them with a serious financial hardship. If the homeowner purchases a home warranty, they could avoid higher-than-average repair or replacement costs. Homeowners can learn more about the home warranty and get a quote today by contacting their preferred warranty company.
Whole System Repair Plans Are Available
Whole system repair plans provide assistance for homeowners quickly. The plans include heating, cooling, ventilation, plumbing, and electrical systems. If the homeowner has a central unit or furnace, these systems are included in the plans. The homeowner gets fast repairs or replacement services if any of these systems fail or won’t operate properly. The warranty company helps the homeowner avoid extreme temperatures and the negative health effects of a failing heating or cooling system.
You Could Get a Warranty that Covers Appliances Only
Appliance plans cover the cost of repairs for major appliances found in the home. The homeowner will need to provide a list of all major appliances when setting up the home warranty. This includes dishwashers, stoves, microwaves, washing machines, refrigerators, and the garage door opener. The homeowner submits a claim through the home warranty company whenever these appliances stop working or need repairs. The warranty company will send a repair provider to the home to complete the repairs.
You Could Add Extra Fixtures to the Plan
The homeowner has the option to increase their coverage and add extra items to their home warranty. These items could include a Jacuzzi, swimming pool, hot tubs, and additional appliances in the home beyond the standard norm. For example, if the property owner has a mini-fridge in their bedroom, the homeowner can add the extra refrigerator to their home warranty.
Expanding coverage helps the homeowner get additional coverage as they need it. If the homeowner gets new installations, such as a countertop range or extra oven, the homeowner could add these new installations to their home warranty and maximize their coverage. Reviewing the coverage limits shows the homeowner what items they cannot add to the warranty.
How Low Can Homeowners Expect to Pay for Services?
Homeowners receive an invoice for all additional costs after repair services are completed, or a replacement was provided. The purpose of the home warranty is to get discounts on these services, and homeowners will pay a maximum of around $125 for repairs. The warranty company provides a complete estimate for any replacements to ensure the homeowner can afford the selections. The warranty company chooses appliances or systems according to the homeowner’s budget. They will not complete services or require costs that are too expensive for the property owner. When setting up the home warranty, the warranty company reviews limitations with the homeowner.
Replacements Don’t Require the Full Purchase Cost
Homeowners won’t face paying the full purchase price for new installations, and the home warranty gives them amazing discounts for new appliances and systems. The warranty pays a percentage of the purchase price to make it more affordable for the homeowner. This prevents homeowners from losing appliances or systems they need because they cannot afford to replace them. The homeowner can review options through the home warranty company’s service providers when a new system is required. Typically, the homeowner gets coverage for HVAC services according to the systems’ projected longevity. If the systems are beyond 10 years old, the homeowner could get a significant discount on a replacement system.
The Warranty Company Finds a Service Provider for You
Homeowners don’t have to spend time looking for a service provider when they need repairs or a replacement. The home warranty company completes the steps for the homeowner and saves time. The warranty company processes the homeowner’s claim and determines how much coverage they have for each repair. They send a service provider to the homeowner’s property to complete the repair services or the replacement installation.
The warranty company calculates the annual deductible and how much the homeowner has paid currently toward the deductible. The homeowner must pay the deductible before they receive any coverage for the repairs or replacement services.
You Could Transfer Your Home Warranty When Selling the Property
Home buyers review homes according to their demands, and if the property comes with a home warranty, the buyer gets extra protection for their appliances and installations. When they buy the home, the seller can transfer their home warranty to the new owner. The new owner will get all the same protection under the warranty, including repairs and replacements for their appliances, wiring, electrical systems, and any additional installations they want for the property. If the property comes with a swimming pool, exterior kitchen, or a jacuzzi, the new owner can add these items to the home warranty for coverage.
Homeowners explore home warranties to determine if the coverage helps them pay for necessary expenses. The warranties provide coverage for systems and appliances. The homeowner can review the plans to find the best choice for their needs. The products do not work the same as a homeowner’s insurance policy, and the homeowner will need to keep their homeowner’s insurance policy to cover their property. The home warranty doesn’t provide coverage for the property itself. Home warranties reduce the cost of appliance and systems repairs, and the homeowner avoids the excess costs of a new system or appliance. Reviewing the benefits of a home warranty helps the homeowners choose the right plan for them.
