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.A conveyancing company has called for house hunters to apply for the role of “mansion tester” to stay in a luxury country house worth £3m.
My Home Move Conveyancing will pay the successful applicant £500 to stay in Manor Holcombe, a Georgian manor house in Somerset, for three days and two nights to put the company’s online conveyancing services “to the test”.
The eight-bedroom Grade II-listed house features extensive gardens, a private heated outdoor pool, a hot tub, treehouse, playground, gym and games room.It includes a team of staff who look after the house and grounds.
According to the Manor Holcombe website, the property is located “a stroll away from a Michelin star restaurant, a pub and glorious countryside walks”.
The tester must be a “detail-oriented, luxury-seeking house hunter” and will be required to report back to My Home Move Conveyancing on their experience at the manor and the firm’s online services.
“If you’ve always dreamt of relaxing in your own indoor swimming pool, fancied practicing pool in a private games room or wishes you could have a supersized private garden to take a stroll in, then we want to hear from you,” says the job listing.
Entries close at 12pm on Monday 13 September, and applicants will have to be available from 21 to 23 September to stay at the manor.
Dev Malle, chief business development officer, told Metro: “Buying a new house is an incredibly exciting experience, but it can also be quite daunting – finding the right legal service is often part of the challenge.
“That’s why we wanted to put our expertise to the test, as well as giving prospective house hunters a little taste of luxury as they review our online service, all while getting paid to do so.”
