A money-back guarantee incentive to buy?

Nearly 60 per cent of Yourhomers say a money-back guarantee wouldn't spur them to buy in this grim economic climate.

The deal from the Brownstone Group of Companies offers prospective buyers their money back, plus interest, if they lose their jobs.

Fifty-nine per cent of the respondents in last week's poll said this offer wouldn't be enough to sway their opinions on the market, while nine per cent said they didn't know.

About a third (32 per cent) of those who voted said the offer would tempt them to open their wallets.

This week, we ask about splurging and saving. With the current economic gloom and doom, are there any home products that you'd be willing to splurge on? If so, what are they? Read Vicky Sanderson's tips on when to splurge and when to save, then cast your ballot.

I'll pass on the results next Saturday, and let you know what's at the top of my list!

And, for some Saturday morning reading, I recommend Colin and Justin's latest bedroom makeover and Sonia Day's tips for bringing spring inside by forcing branches.
