It’s a very strange time we’re living in, our daily lives have been turned upside down, our social lives are non-existent and our priorities have completely changed. Just one of the impacts of this crisis is the housing market, with property buyers unable to view new homes and sellers unable to shift houses.
With buyers now spending a substantial amount of time inside their homes, we realize now more than ever what is important to us when it comes to making an offer. Practical aspects such as nearby schools, ground rent, and full searches to determine if possessory title insurance from LawSure could soon be replaced with priorities such as space for a home office, nearby parks and exercise routes, and a garden that can safely allow social distancing when buying a new home.
For some of us feeling isolated, we are taking comfort in the views our homes can benefit from, whether this is a beach, mountain, or famous landmark. While others are now wishing they had put more thought into what their windows look out to.
With the summer holidays approaching and the idea of enjoying these warmer months like we once did diminishing, we curiously look into how much we would have to pay to benefit from a property that allows us to see some of the UK’s favourite landmarks.
Do you think it’s worth paying this much to be one of the exclusive few who can still enjoy these sights, even in lockdown?
1. Big Ben
If you want a private view of the world’s most famous clock tower, it certainly will cost you. Just under £30 million will provide you with a secluded roof terrace on top of your property where you can enjoy the ringing of Big Ben morning, noon, and night.
Built-in 1859, the tower has been an iconic part of London’s skyline for over two centuries and is a hot tourist spot of holiday photos. You can spend as much time as you please taking selfies of Big Ben if you are willing to pay the premium price.
However, you do also get seven bedrooms, an indoor pool, snooker room, home cinema, and countless other entertainment rooms. If you can afford this epic lifestyle, you’ll probably find something more fun to do during lockdown than staring across the horizon.
2. The Tower of London
Even for those with little knowledge of London know about The Tower of London. Depicted in countless period dramas for its grisly history of executions and the main target of modern-day villains for attempting to steal the crown jewels, it’s as famous as the royal family.
The last execution was performed in 1941, this was by firing squad and thankfully not the infamous guillotine.
While £30 for an adult admission ticket may seem steep, wait until you hear how much it costs to live nearby.
An apartment on the opposite side of the river bank recently sold for £9,500,000 and came with a private riverside terrace that allows spectacular views of the iconic London skyline.
3. Windsor Castle
So far the above properties may have two of the most iconic landmarks in England but during the lockdown, they are lacking the one attraction that brings millions of tourists to the UK every year.
The royal family, more specifically Queen Elizabeth II brings a substantial amount of revenue to businesses across the UK, but at the moment, she isn’t even in London.
Her majesty is spending quarantine in Windsor Castle, the favourite of her many homes. You can purchase a home of the same streets as the gates to the castle for just under £1.5 million.
You may think it is a bargain as you’ll be rubbing shoulder with royalty and can even boast that you share the same postcode. However, this price only gets you a small terrace house with a very modest garden and no parking.
A high price to pay when you’ll probably be shunned away if you ask your royal neighbour if you can borrow a cup of sugar.
4. Edinburgh Castle
Castles sweep the countryside in the UK and Edinburgh Castle is certainly one of the most iconic.
From a fortress to a prison in the 1700s and now a tourist attraction, the castle has certainly had its fair share of uses.
The most famous event that takes place today is the New Year's Eve firework display that attracts over a million visitors from all over the world. If you love the idea of an epic firework display but loath large crowds of people, you could always purchase a nearby property to benefit from a private viewing.
Firstly, you’ll need £1,388,500, this will get you an apartment overlooking the castle with a balcony for that perfect view.
Although for that price, we might just settle to watching them on TV instead.
Ben Nevis
Staying in Scotland, Ben Nevis is the tallest summit in the UK and is located in the picturesque Highlands. The average house price in this area is £200,000, not bad right?
While many properties are at this mark, they don’t sit at the base of this impressive mountain. If you want to witness this every day, you’ll be looking at £600,000.
The valley is vast enough for you to get a little more for your money though, the houses are significantly larger than most in the area and your £600k will get you eight bedrooms.
Blackpool Tower
Try to think of a classic British beach holiday and you’ll immediately think of Blackpool. The iconic arcades, donkeys and nightlife are famous as the quintessential English summer holiday.
Teamed with Blackpool Tower and you couldn’t get a more postcard-perfect spot. As a built-up area, there are plenty of homes that you can see the tower from, especially as it’s grand height.
Blackpool Tower was once the tallest structure in the UK, standing at 158m. It’s not dwarfed by the current record holder, The Shard, at 310m.
If you want to always feel like it’s summer, it will cost £100,000.
So do you think it’s worth forking out this kind of cash to be able to feel like a tourist on holiday every day? Or are you happy to save those pennies and wait until the lockdown is lifted and pay general admission? Perhaps your window skyline is so tiring, any chance in scenery would be a good one, no matter what you can see!

A vacation is something we look forward to. We dream of seeing a large number of places around the globe if possible and go from one place to another. We will certainly need to look into a car to hire which couldn’t be easier in the States.
We often think that there are too many fine details involved, that the process requires endless checks or financing but this not the case.
A simple bit of planning can make things go a lot smoother, and it will take a big weight off your shoulders once you’ve arrived at the destination country by not having to search and remember where all the transport depots are, or busses and train stops.
Looking for the perfect vehicle may seem daunting at first, but if you write down your main priorities in terms of features you are looking for and the objectives of the trip, then it is easier to narrow down the specifics. Think about travel plans, areas you intend on visiting, how many people will be traveling, and whether you are willing to go above your set budget if it means added extras.
The Car for You:
Determined by your traveling party size the vehicle you choose will be either one of 3 factors: comfort, efficiency, and size. Knowing you are a group of friends looking to explore the United States while having fun, like celebrating a recent engagement, ideally, you will want a car that is big enough so that everyone can travel together.
Having vacationed in a group, I can personally vouch for a minibus. Not only is there ample space for everyone and their luggage, but the atmosphere is always energetic and it makes the experience that much more enjoyable.
Look for the efficiency of fuel if you will be doing a lot of day trips.
You wouldn’t want to be stopping constantly to be filling up (as there might not even be a gas station nearby), but the cost will work against you in the long run.
As the old saying goes, “bigger is better.” A vehicle that is tough enough to handle the ups and downs of adventure enthusiasts, but still chic enough to not look like you’re driving an armored car is what you should search for when going for a vacation.
To get the ball rolling and help you see what is available on the market, take a quick browse at Goautos.no/leiebil/usa/ for a variety of cars suited for all demographics and holidays, and most importantly won’t break the bank. You don’t want to find the perfect car only to discover it is not in your price range or would essentially work against you for this trip, do your homework, shop around and conclude from there.
Why Rent?
Are you one of those people who think that you’re “wasting money” on a car that is not and never will be yours? Then I’m sure you are hesitant at the thought of hiring a rented vehicle, but if you weigh up the odds versus using the local and public transport means available, are you saving yourself time, not to mention money?
There are endless perks to renting a vehicle as opposed to going local, let’s take a look at the top 5 points people pointed out that made them decide to hire a car while holidaying abroad rather than using buses or taxis.
Distance:
This is especially important if you are a large group, opting to be picked up and ferried to your destination and back could cost an arm and a leg.
You would need a suitably sized vehicle for starters, drop-off, and pick-up times may be set by the company which could work against your itinerary, and if the driver has to wait there because it is too far to travel up and down, his time is your money.
Time:
How long is your trip?
If you are on a long weekend and looking to see as many sights as possible the last thing you want to be doing is wasting time standing in bus queues or on train platforms waiting for the next one to arrive because you just missed this one. Simply hop in your rental and the day begins immediately.
Freedom:
The luxury of coming and going as you please comes easy with a hired car. The tour buses may go on the main tourist routes and sites, but if you see something interesting you would have to go back later that day or even the next to go explore. With a car you just need to make a pit stop, jump out, and go experience something new and different, ‘off the beaten track.’
Cost:
When traveling abroad some transport companies try their luck by pushing up prices with tourists or when they hear a foreign language, and being none the wiser this could cost you double what it should have had you been a local or used a rent a car. Taxis could take ‘the long way around which also adds up on the meter by the end of the trip.
Weather:
Depending on the time of the year you are traveling the weather may not be in your favor, and worse so if you have children in tow.
Perhaps you’re away for a snowy Christmas, you want your kids safe and warm in a vehicle or indoors and not waiting outside for taxis to arrive or in the pouring rain.
See some handy tips in this link to consider when traveling abroad with kids, how to make their trip fun and more comfortable which will inevitably mean you will have a good time too. We know how quickly a situation can change when a little one is not in a good mood, hungry, or cold. Being organized can prevent these situations and you can focus on having a great time.
Renting and returning:
The time has come when all the fun and madness has to come to an end and sadly it is back to reality and the working week of the 9-5 rat race.
Taking the car back to the rental agency is not as simple as arriving and handing over the keys, believe it or not, so be aware of a few common mistakes people make.
One of the most common faux pas I have noticed and have been victim to myself is not checking the traveling distance or time it will take to get back to the rental parking lot, and agencies have a strict late-return policy which comes with a hefty price tag. Be sure to mark and map your route and leave ample time to get there. Better to be early than late.
As with most rental firms when returning the car it should be as it was when collecting, this usually means with a full tank of petrol.
Be sure to check the map for the closest fuel station to the agency and stop to fill up, be sure to keep the receipt in case there are any queries.
A great tip I learned from a friend was once you have parked be sure to take pictures of the internal and external areas of the car, as well as the dashboard with the ignition on so you can see the fuel gauge and mileage count. This way you have evidence that all was in order when you handed over the keys and these images can be presented if you need to make a case or claim of unexpected charges to your card.
Lastly, be sure you have ALL your belongings. Check glove compartments, the boot and back seat areas, the middle console, and the most forgotten about gaps – the sides of the doors. There is a slim chance you will get anything back that you have forgotten no matter how honest you want to believe that people are.
A final thought:
If you have all the necessary and essential paperwork and documentation in order there is no reason why renting a vehicle abroad should cause any headache. The world is becoming easier to explore, to venture out into, and driving wherever the wind takes you is as easy as shopping for the perfect rented car.
The practice of renting out cars has been around for centuries, only now we have more options, and it’s more fun, win-win.

Factors To Consider While Preparing For A Move
How to Travel in Style
Barcelona is not a city, but an experience — a wild tapestry of Gothic gloom, Gaudí imagination, seaweed-scented sea air, and the Catalonian rhythm of pride.
You may have thought it impossible to spend a day in that enchanted city — how were you ever going to sample all its flavors, hear all its symphonies of sound, and see all its aspects of beauty within the limiting confines of a humble 24-hour day?
The key is conscious travel: choosing symbolic spots, being where you need to be, where you need to be for real experiences, and letting Barcelona catch you up, at least for a while.
What you will be left with when it is all said and done is a day-by-day, hour-by-hour experience — a carefully curated combination of architecture, cuisine, history, and natural beauty — so that your one day with us is fulfilling, complete, and memorable.
7:00 AM – 9:00 AM: Awakening Barcelona — La Rambla And La Boqueria
An Early Morning Stroll through La Rambla
Sleep in early because the city's waking up.
La Rambla, usually crowded with tourists at lunchtime, is close to magic in the morning.
The plane tree entwines' dappled light, yellow patches on the still-scented cobblestones with morning scents of tidiness.
Flower sellers spread out bouquets, the first newspaper vendors creak open, and street artists start to sketch the first doodles.
Stop at the Font de Canaletes, a humble, off-the-tourist-strains fountain where FC Barcelona fans gather to celebrate victories — a place rich in local tradition.
Breakfast At Mercat De Sant Josep De La Boqueria
Step into a kaleidoscope of color, aroma, and texture beneath the giant iron gateway.
Succulent mangoes radiate with frosty vapors mist, rose dragonfruit with bouquets of citrus-marinated olives, and countertops heaped with glimmering sardines, flame-red tuna, and curled-up octopus tentacles.
Just-frying churros' aroma overpowers the aroma of strong Spanish coffee.
What to Eat:
A serving of jamón ibérico slices, fat-dripping and melting upon your tongue.
A fruit cup of tropical essence.
Or, if you're starving for something more substantial: a large plate of tortilla española (potato omelet) and an espresso to rouse even the deepest sleeper.
Tip: Take some homemade chocolate or turrón (nougat) with you to snack on later.

The balconies with bone-like projections and wavelike windows look more grown than constructed.
Go inside and see:
Wavy walls and ceilings are like a wave at sea.
A spine-like staircase.
Serene inner courtyard ringed with cooling blues whose color deepens more and more as it rises.
Audio guides give way to augmented reality, and Gaudí's fantasies are overlaid upon real life.
10:00 AM: Casa Milà (La Pedrera) — Wind And Water-Sculpted
Casa Milà is a two-minute stroll down the same boulevard away.
Infamous for its stone-like, haphazard appearance, having been referred to as La Pedrera ("The Quarry").
Enjoy
Balconies made of wrought iron swathed like seaweed.
Chimneys protruding from the roof as if supernatural, horror-face warriors.
The roof has breathtaking views of Barcelona — the glinting Mediterranean in the distance like a mirror.

Purchase your ticket in advance to avoid serpentine queues.
From blocks away, the spires thrust heavenward like a ghost.
The exterior is a wonderful sequence of biblical statuary, each of the three fronts (Nativity, Passion, and Glory) narrating a chapter of Christ's life with an almost maniacal imagination.
Inside the basilica:
Light filters through rainbow-colored stained-glass windows, casting columnar columns blues, greens, oranges, and reds.
The columns branch out like trees, like walking through a stone forest.
Fact: Sagrada Família is still built and won't be finished until 2030-2035, over 150 years since work started.
12:00 PM – 2:00 PM: Gothic Quarter And A Tapas Lunch
Introduction To The Gothic Quarter (Barri Gòtic)

Plaça Reial, whose lovely arcades and lampposts were created by Gaudí.
The tranquil Plaça Sant Felip Neri, a square which is still scarred by Spanish Civil War bullet holes.
The breathtaking Gothic Cathedral of Barcelona, with its tall spires and cloistered interior,r which protects 13 white geese.
Lunch in a Traditional Tapas Bar

Tapas to Try:
Pimientos de Padrón — Green peppers, fried in olive oil, one in ten will have a spicy kick.
Gambas al ajillo — Shrimp fried in garlic.
Pulpo a la gallega — Smoky paprika-topped tender octopus.
Glass of cold local Cava (champagne wine) or home-made Vermut casero (home-made vermouth).

Subway or taxi to Park Güell, the Carmel Hill summit.
Abandoned housing project on its first construction, Gaudí had imagined it as an imaginary park.

The sea serpent-profile mosaic-tiled balcony.
The gingerbread castle-like gatehouses of fantasy.
Viaducts of stone are integrated between the pines and palms surrounding.

9:00 PM – Late: Flamenco Dreams Or A Nightcap
If you still have some energy remaining in you:
Watch a flamenco show in Palau Dalmases — a stunningly lovely 17th-century palace where the dancers stomp and whirl and wail with abandon.
Or stop to refill with a final cocktail - on the balcony of a top-floor terrace over a cityscape glinting with centuries mingling with each flash of light.
A day in Barcelona isn't just about ticking sites off a list — it's about experiencing the city's layered heartbeats, about sampling history and future in one bite, about standing on stones laid centuries ago while gazing out at the endless horizon.
There are amaizng places from clubs to pubs to have a great time, eithe alone or with your group. If you are feeling adventurous enough then you can try out the Cannabis clubs or weed cafes as well in Barcelona. The cannabis association in Barcelona is quite popular.
And even though your time is short, you’ll leave with something that lingers —
a small piece of Barcelona forever stitched into your memory.
Long flights cause discomfort to many. Staying ten or more hours on board the aircraft can last like an eternity. At some point, you get tired; it becomes uncomfortable to sit still, and you do not know what to do in order to speed up the time. Do you have a difficult plane trip? Will the road take several hours of time?
You do not want it to cause fatigue and boredom, right? Then you should have a couple of “entertainment” options to choose from. Unfortunately, a few people know what to do on the plane in order to make the time pass quickly when traveling alone. In this post, we will dive into this issue and offer various options to banish boredom when onboard the aircraft.
#1 - Start Learning a Foreign Language
Grab a book or a travel guide, download an audio tutorial, and learn basic phrases in the local language. This knowledge will definitely help you along your trip and will make it more interesting and exciting. You can demonstrate the knowledge gained during the flight already at the airport by asking some basic questions.
Locals are always pleased when they are greeted in their language. So why not learn a few new words as you are onboard the aircraft?
#2 - Listen to an Audiobook, Lecture, or a Podcast
The first thing that comes to the mind of people when they think of what to do on a long-haul flight is listening to music. Of course, listening to your favorite track can put you in a better mood.
However, you should also be ready that listening to music for more than 2 hours can make you feel bored quickly. Therefore, it is better to download a couple of lectures on a topic of interest to you, a light podcast, or an audiobook.
When it comes to music, you just listen to tracks one after another and can stop at any time. In the case of an audiobook, you will follow the plot with interest; as a result, the time will spin away. You just need to choose a podcast or an audiobook that you are really interested in. In this case, you will get the maximum pleasure as you listen to a podcast.
#3 - Do Yoga
When you sit still too long, you can feel that your legs swell, and you cannot control them. The thing is that when our muscles are inactive, they can't pump body fluids back up toward the heart. This is not only unhealthy but also brings real discomfort to the trip. Therefore, it is important to do your body a favor.
Of course, uncovering your favorite treadmill might not be the best idea, but a little exercise will come in handy. There are many different yoga asanas that you can practice right in your seat. Yoga on a flight can help you stretch and move when you are cramped on an airplane seat.
After a few exercises, you will definitely feel better. The only thing you need to do is to prepare a couple of videos with yoga asanas that you are going to do. There is no need to follow the yoga practice from A to Z. Instead, use a video editor to cut out unnecessary exercises and change the resolution of your video to open it without lags on any device.
#4 - Make Beauty Treatments
After you spend a couple of hours on board, there is a high risk that your skin becomes dry and crapped or your eyes mist over. Recycled air, the hundreds of people in a small space, the altitude - all these may negatively affect the way you look and feel. Therefore, it's important to maintain your beauty routine when traveling.
Make sure there are moisturizing drops, vitamin water for the skin, hand cream, face mask, or lip balm in your backpack. This set of beside remedies can help you feel better during a long-haul flight. You hardly want to arrive at your holiday destination looking spotty or bloated. So arm yourself with all the necessary beauty treatments in advance!
#5 - Do Planning
Have you already figured out what to do upon arrival at your destination? Have you made a route, planned what places to visit and what sights you want to see? If not, then it's best to do it on the plane. Take a break from pressing problems, immerse yourself in the exciting world of the upcoming vacation. Description of sights, drawing up a route can set you up for a productive vacation, inspire, and cheer you up.
#6 - Listen to Onboard Radio or Watch Movies
Apart from snacks, most airlines offer services such as listening to the built-in radio or watching flight movies from a monitor installed in the cabin. They even give out special disposable headphones so that passengers do not interfere with each other when someone is playing board games, for example. It is really comfortable.
Some experienced travelers believe that disposable headphones are not suitable for everyone. Therefore, it is better to prepare such gadgets in advance and take them on board. They will not take up much space in the bag but will provide for greater comfort. By the way, if you are not a fan of National Geographics and give preference to movies about serial killers, then it is better to download a couple of files to your smartphone or tablet.
#7 - Read a Book
Being onboard the aircraft is an ideal reading situation: no one distracts you; there is always enough light, and the environment is inspiring. Choose easy-to-read best books of all time so that you can start enjoying the trip and simply relax during the flight. If you do not know what to read, then it is better to take something fun onboard - be it a detective story or a Harry Potter book.
Of course, there are many e-books to choose from. You can always download Google books to your tablet or phone and enjoy reading any of them during your entire vacation.
Make Your Flight Comfortable, Easy, and Fast
An unsuccessful flight can darken several days at once and cause negative emotions for the entire trip. Of course, you can treat all adversity in a philosophical way. But having paid a lot of money for tickets, you don't want to meditate for 20 hours, trying to ignore a child's cry or a neighbor laughing loudly. The above travel tips can help you survive a long-haul flight and leave the cabin in a good mood that you can harbor more amazing travel ideas.
