First house project

[Ben Clapton]

Afternoon All,

Just wanted to join the forum and introduce myself. Me and my other half have just bought our first place together which is a full renovation project:

http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-58679465.html

Plenty of work to keep us busy on top of both working fulltime, I'm doing an engineering degree, we have 2 dogs to entertain and I also have a 4 year old from my last relationship.

I'm sure ill be back and forth with plenty of questions! Were both very handy and know where were going with the place, we will just be getting the trades in for the things we know we cant do or needs signing off!

Thanks

Ben

the right move link is corrupt and goes direct to a mal ware site

 

[Ben Clapton]

Really? I can follow it no problem direct to right move? It was copy and pasted from IE toolbar.......

Same here. But I think it's a problem with the DIYnot site and affiliate marketing.

If you highlight the address and copy it into your address bar you can bypass the affiliate site.

rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-58679465.html

Very odd, it's just appearing as a normal rightmove link to me. We don't have any affiliate links for rightmove. If someone could copy and paste the nasty link without going to it and private message me, that would be great. I will then investigate further.

It does now link to the rightmove house pages. Norton flagged the embedded URL as a dangerous site, regret I cannot recall what the URL was.

It's working for me now. It has happened before, last time I think it was with a b and q link
