5 Things To Consider When Buying Your First Home

Posted on November 11, 2021December 8, 2022 by Contributor

A successful home buying experience is achievable due to the details. It is by ensuring all of the details from the start of the process to the finish are right. Everyone has their reasons for buying a house. However, they all have to go through the same process to find a property they will call their home. Purchasing your first home can be a thrilling experience. It is also one overshadowed by intimidation about the process.

Know Your Credit Score

Get a copy of your credit score before you begin looking for a house. Your credit score has an impact on determining the interest rate you can get for your loan. The higher your credit rating, the more likely it is to obtain a loan to buy a house at a lower interest rate. Ensure that you review your credit score carefully before applying for a loan. It is not unusual for there to be mistakes included in a credit report. These mistakes can often bring your credit score down.

In the hunt for more places to go out and visit, we found that we actually live quite close to the Hylands Estate Adventure Castle, which is a completely free, quite massive park for kids to play and explore.

MEL Science – Luminescence | Review

Posted on November 8, 2021August 27, 2024 by Dann Sullivan

[Ad- gifted product] As any regular readers will know, we’re happy to dip into a science-themed subscription box here. We’ve, most recently, just wrapped up the KiwiCo Tinker Crate, and so it makes perfect sense that we turn our gaze toward MEL Science, specifically their MEL Physics range; a kit aimed at a slightly older audience and specifically focused on decrypting scientific jargon into an accessible educational package. The first month we grabbed was based around Luminescence, and it was a fantastic example of MEL Physics’ boxes at their purest.

We ran into the MEL Science team earlier on in the year, while at an event. I was drawn to the stand by how professional each of the boxes on display looked. They had a simple, clear design, with one or two objects on the front, but a simple title down the spine. Each box was a single stark colour, giving them the look of classic school textbooks.
