Harry Styles is thinking of buying a house . Oh, but there's a worry: The ONE DIRECTION star is having second thoughts about moving to a £3million north London mansion said to be haunted by the ghost of Dick Turpin. Harry’s not fussed about the ghostly presence inside – just the boozy punters making their way home from the pub next door. A source said: “Harry loves the area and the house but is a bit unsure about the pub. “He’s been advised that it could affect the sell-on value as [...]

Want to live in Elvis' house? Not the one where he died, but his Beverley Hills pad. It's just come on the market at $12.5million . For that, you do get a home with five bathrooms - handy if a music legend has died on one, I guess - and a lot of land. But can the agents resist the temptation to sneak an Elvis pun into the listings? A private master suite features a large master bath and expansive closet space – plenty of room for shoes. Perhaps some blue suede ones? [...]

It's been a long year for fans of the historic Southgate House. When the old owners moved on from the historic space in Newport at the end of last year, we mourned and hoped it wouldn't be the end of the Southgate House story. Well, today the plans for a new Southgate House are official. In a press release from Morella Raleigh, she states “We’re very excited to finally be announcing the reopening,” said Morrella Raleigh.” “The support the community has shown has been overwhelming and we know this new spot is only going [...]

Liam Gallagher is buying a home in America, reports Gordon . Sorry, did I say "home"? LIAM Gallagher is taking his bid to crack America so seriously that he’s bought a gaff there. A gaff. I suppose we're lucky he didn't call it a sweet, sweet crib. I'm not entirely sure "buying an overpriced flat" really shows a desire to crack America in the way that, say, appearing on a never-ending slew of regional breakfast TV shows and playing a number of smaller venues in the sort of States that tend to score well when [...]

Like his chum Bono, Bob Geldof isn't just interested in equality and aid; He's also fascinated with making a quick buck out of property . He's turned up to push a thing called Progressive Property - shill is such an ugly word, isn't it, so let's use that. He shills in the least attractive way possible, by claiming that land-grabbing is exactly what Gandi would do. PlanetyPropetyBlog raises an eyebrow: They’re a bit like ... Gandhi (I swear, I’m not making this up!)... who, as we all know, was famous for preaching the redeeming qualities [...]

Another weird news story here... 9/11 victims are outraged by a newly designed apartment block set to be built in Seoul, South Korea. As you can see from the bizarre photo below, the building seems to resemble the 'Twin Towers' in their final moments before they collapsed after the 11th September terrorist attack in New York back in 2001: The design, by a Dutch architectural company, is part of a flagship project to develop a major new site in Seoul. But those behind the [...]

Something we all can enjoy: Robbie Williams has lost a pile selling his Wiltshire house : It was little more than a year ago he bought his Wiltshire mansion for £8.2m and it is now being touted on the market for "just" £7.5m. Still, on the plus side he won't have to pay upfront for a HIPS survey, so that's a few quid he's saved. In other news, Gordon's busily choosing a hat for the wedding of Nicole Sherzinger and Lewis Hamilton , who he reckons are about to get engaged. [...]

Starting a rubbish piece about N-Dubz moving house , Gordon clears his throat: N-DUBZ will forever be remembered as those scamps from Camden in north London. Well... if by "forever" you mean "at least until the back end of next weekend", and by "those scamps from Camden" you mean "like Cabbage Patch dolls allowed to make pop videos", you're on the money, Gordon.

If the National Trust have the time and the energy after dealing with Abbey Road, they might have to move on to protecting the Ministry Of Sound . There are Homes Under The Hammer types measuring up to put in flatlets and modern-style bedsits over the street: The dance club, which has been running for 18 years in Southwark, is in danger of losing its license if proposals are approved by Isle Of Man developer Oakmayne to build a residential building opposite the club. It would seem a bit of a cheek to put homes [...]

Gordon's a little excited this morning : ASTON MERRYGOLD did somersaults and gave the girls a glimpse of his oiled six-pack performing at radio station Key 103's Jingle Ball in Manchester on Wednesday. Deep breaths, Gordon, deep breaths. In other Gordon news, Mick Hucknall is embarking on a long legal battle to stop his neighbour going onto his land. He could save his money by just putting loudspeakers round the boundary which play bits of his back catalogue?

Turbulent times in the Los Angeles real estate market - Rihanna found herself being sued by a neighbour who found her noisy and unpleasant. Now, her landlord is counter-suing the neighbour , claiming that if next door hadn't been shouting and yelling at Rihanna all the time, she would have bought the house off him. The landlord wants the profits he would have made from the deal, although surely going so very, very public with an announcement that the people living next door to a house you're trying to sell is going to cost you more in [...]

This morning, Gordon is worried about a mate. Or, rather, someone who he has had his photo taken with, but that's kind of a mate, isn't it? In fact, being in photos with people is better than being real mates as you don't have to worry about what to get them for Christmas or anything, while you can still show people pictures of you with them and everyone will assume you're tight with them. Anyway, Gordon's worried about James Corden , on account of how the clouds are starting to gather: IF Family Fortunes asked [...]

Foo Fighters are accusing US Republican presidential hopeful John McCain of having a disregard for intellectual property. The accusation surfaces from the use of their song ' My Hero ' by McCain 's presidential campaign without the bands permission. "This isn't the first time the McCain campaign has used a song without making any attempt to get approval or permission from the artist. It's frustrating and infuriating that someone who claims to speak for the American people would repeatedly show such little respect for creativity and intellectual property," read a statement issued [...]

Somewhat oddly, Tim Wheeler (not the one out of Ash) has tried to explain the current state of the UK property market by, erm, quoting Bob Dylan: Tim Wheeler, chief executive of Brixton, turned to Bob Dylan on Tuesday to help explain the outlook for the UK property market. Mr Wheeler said the opening lines of the American songwriter’s All Along the Watchtower “seem to capture the beleaguered mindset of the UK commercial real estate market”. The song, more famously recorded by Jimi Hendrix, says of land that none “know what any [...]

Now, it could be that Guy Ritchie's new film RocknRolla is a brilliant movie. But the decision to give first sight to the soft-landing of the easily-impressed Gordon Smart doesn't bode well. Of course, Smart - delighted to have been asked to see it - gives it a great big gush: GUY RITCHIE’s brilliant new gangster movie RocknRolla is about to hit our cinemas. And on Friday night I had the pleasure of being one of the first to see it. I spent the evening in the company of a [...]

There are no flies on Mel B - she knows her looks will fade, and demand for her singing might prove to be fickle. So she's come up with a foolproof investment plan to protect her in old age : "I have about five houses over there because I'm investing in property." Yes, she's investing in the US property market. Because you can't go wrong with bricks and... say, why have all these people put their furniture out on the side of the street?

Ireland has once again deployed its apparent "one rule for Bono" legislation by approving the U2 plans to ruin ("renovate") The Clarence Hotel in Dublin. Despite it being in a Conservation Area and everything: "We would obviously condemn the decision. It undermines national legislation on architectural heritage because of the number of protected sites being demolished," said Ian Lumley, an officer with An Taisce, Ireland's heritage-protection organization. Lumley said Foster's grandiose design was "a very impressively conceived scheme but in the wrong place. This would not be allowed in areas of [...]
