From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Fulbeck House is in a part of England where you still get a lot of property for your money. This listed property, dating from 1700, has five bedrooms and four reception rooms as well as two self-contained wings currently rented out. Humberts in Grantham (01476 76133) is asking pounds 375,000 for the house and gardens. In the grounds are a cottage, and a coach house and walled garden. They are offered as a separate lot for pounds 100,000.
For what it's worth
It takes, on average, nearly five months to sell a house in England, according to this month's Home Report from Black Horse Agencies. The national average hides huge discrepancies between regions, with properties selling far quicker in the South than the North. In the South-east and East Anglia the average selling time is about three months, compared with seven months in the North-west. In the South-west the figure is four months, in the North-east it is five months. Property priced realistically is likely to sell quickest and for a figure closer to the asking price. Houses sold within two months by the agency's 340 branches went for 93 per cent of the asking price compared with 85 per cent for houses which took a year to sell.
