Penistone show is held annually and is a fantastic family day out, I would recommend anyone who hasn’t been before to come along and find out why this event is so popular throughout Yorkshire.

“The aims of Penistone Show are to provide an agricultural show, which promotes the countryside, agriculture & horticulture and associated interests. There are various livestock on display i.e. Cattle, Sheep, Pigs, Goats, Pigeons, Hens, Bantams, Shire Horses, Lurchers, Terriers, Companion Dogs and many more.

If a low cost fixed fee agent offered to sell your £300.000 detached bungalow in Barnsley for a fixed fee of £995 and a traditional high street estate agent said he’d sell the same property for 1% = £3.000 which one would you instruct to sell your house, if they both promised you the same service?

Do you think traditional high street estate agents should be doing more to help home owners in the current market?

Broadcasters in the UK have decided to ditch the lifestyle and property shows in favour of thrifty money saving shows, so much so that the BBC have announced it’s making three new property shows that discuss the collapse in the property market and axing of agents in favour of self selling property without an estate agent. I believe the three shows will be screened sometime commencing in October. Shows like Location, location, location on Channel 4 will be revamped to reflect the current difficulty of getting a mortgage.

I recently read that a local Tory today called on Gordon Brown to abandon the controversial Home Information Packs to help boost the beleaguered housing market.
