Hi all
In case you didn’t know, the seacombe aquarium has now closed for business.
It wasn’t great, but it’s a shame to see it close down nevertheless.

You may have seen alot in the news about these lately, but what are they and how do they effect you?
If you sell a home with 4 or more bedrooms, you are required by law to provide one of these. From 10th September they will be required for homes with 3 or more bedrooms.
There is quite alot of information out there, but as a start you might want to look at the following web sites:
http://www.energy-performance-certificates.org - information site published by Mike from Ellesmere Port.
http://www.dcpreports.co.uk - Wirral company providing report services.
