Northern Line Night Tube Launch: the areas set for the biggest house price boosts and the new homes hotspots to watch – Homes&Property
As the night tube is gradually being rolled out across the London underground network, now with the addition of the Northern Line property is skyrocketing in value as a result.

Metro Bank Says Mortgage Customers Can Rent Out Their Homes On Airbnb – The Guardian
Mortgage broker Metro Bank will allow their customers to let out their homes for a maximum of 90 days on top travel site Airbnb, without prior consent.

Metro Bank said its mortgage customers could now let their homes on Airbnb or similar sites for up to 90 days a year without contacting it for prior approval.
Buckingham Palace To Receive £369 Million For ‘Urgent Repairs’ But The Queen Won’t Move Out – The Sun
The Queen is battling to keep the most famous palace in the world in top working order, since a new wave of problems have been plaguing the property. The government is set to rush through parliament an increase to the Sovereign Grant for the repair works which will take 10 years to complete.
The refit is described as “essential” and “cost-effective” and will include replacing boilers, miles of cables, pipes and electrical wires. The work will begin next April, if it is approved by MPs.
When the work is complete in 2027, the Sovereign Grant will be reduced back down to its current level of 15%, a review by the Royal Trustees – Prime Minister Theresa May, Chancellor Philip Hammond and Keeper of the Privy Purse Sir Alan Reid – recommended.
Master of The Queen’s Household Tony Johnstone-Burt said the refurbishment would ensure the palace is “fit for purpose” until 2067 and would cut down its carbon footprint.
Lawrence Llewelyn-Bowen explains to Deborah Stone his new campaign for British interiors – The Express
He’s back! The undisputed king of interiors (move over Jasper Conran, who do you think you’re fooling?) is back with baubles on, where he will be hosting festive decorating workshops at the Christmas Ideal Home Show next week. We can’t believe our luck either!
WELL I know one person who’s not going to have a happy hygge Christmas lounging around wearing caramel cashmere leisure gear in a Scandinavian-cool room with artfully arranged birch tree twigs.
Oh no, Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen will be “wearing a succession of extraordinary suits and luridly coloured shirts and ties” – or at least that’s his sartorial plan for the Christmas Ideal Home Show at London’s Olympia next week when he will run workshops on festive interiors.
“I’ve rather been bitten by the crafting bug. It’s been a long time since those early days of Changing Rooms when I used to make a Louis XIV ballroom out of yogurt pots and I’ve started missing it so I’ve got my glue gun out of retirement.”
