			<description><![CDATA[<p>LAst week the UK budget was announced, with new ways to kick start the economy. One of the topics we found very interseting was the new plans to restart the housing market, by lending fist time buyers up to 20% of the deposit needed to buy a home, with 0% interest, on new build housing.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The housing market is essential to the furniture trade, as most consumers buy new furnishings when moving into a new home.&nbsp;</p>
<p>An increase in sofa and furniture sales could also benefit first time buyers as many retailers will try to encourage new customers by 'slashing' prices.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Most products, and items purchased in the UK are made in China, and othe parts of Asia. This has been the case for many years, but the trade is now shifting 'slowly' back to the United Kingdom.</p>
<p>Many of our suppliers are swapping importing to making, as it becomes more cost efficient. Shipping, and the US Dollar are both very volatile, and are the deciding factors, to an importers final costings, and remain out of their control. Higher prices makes it very diificult for any business to stay competitive in all market places, and furniture is no exception.</p>
<p>It had been difficult over the past decade to make anything in the UK. Higher priced, and luxury goods have continued to be made here at home, but now we may see a rise in fabric sofas at all price points being made here.</p>]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Timber Regulations In the UK]]></title>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>The EU Timber Regulations (EUTR) came into affect on the 3rd of March 2013. Since this date all timber brought into the UK must meet the new regulations made by the EUTR, any individuals or companies who fail to do so, may face criminal charges if found to be avoiding the new laws.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The new regs have been put in place to protect the forests, and woodland across the whole of Europe, and is indeed a good project, but by doing so there is a cost, and it is normally passed down. If the price of timber is to rise, will the cost of your leather sofa rise with it, as the frames will become more expensive.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Here at Leather Sofa Land, we try to keep our prices the same, even when price increaes are inevitable. We have managed to keep prices down, for the last several trade increaes, but until the new prices are set we are unable to announce any additional increases.</p>]]></description>
