Your support helps us to tell the story
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.

SEDGWICK HOUSE, Sedgwick, Kendal, Cumbria
Price: £275,000
Agent: Carter Jonas
Tel: 01539 722 592
They say: A well-proportioned duplex apartment in a former gentleman's residence in this popular south Lakeland village. It's in excellent decorative order, with one en-suite bedroom, a mezzanine, galleried hallway, sitting room and kitchen/breakfast room.
We say: The property is leasehold, which will be a deal-breaker for many, but the rooms are all good sizes and the communal facilities include a gym, solarium, heated indoor pool, tennis court and fishing on the River Kent.

FAIR OAKS, Tubney, Oxfordshire
Price: £1.495m
Agent: Knight Frank
Tel: 01865 790 077
They say: Excellent example of a Huf Haus, with a large main living area, lots of glass walls and four double bedrooms, each with access to a large balcony. Backing on to a golf course, it provides contemporary living in a traditional English village.
We say: Basically a high-end kit home with lots of glass, lots of space and a hi-tech spec. You'll either love it or hate it.
Room to grow
GRAHAM ROAD, Hackney, London E8
Price: £430,000
Agent: Currell
Tel: 020-7241 4111
They say: Two-bed flat with large reception room leading on to a recently refurbished kitchen. There is potential for expansion to include a second terrace and a loft conversion. The property will benefit from the extension of the East London line to Hackney.
We say: The second bedroom is, predictably, small, but the fact that you can extend means it's worth compromising for now. You're certain to add value by adding a third bedroom, and in this market you need to make money where you can.

Price: £1.6m
Agent: Cluttons
Tel: 020-7488 4858
They say: Three-bedroom apartment in this landmark conversion on the Thames. Arranged over two floors, it has warehouse features throughout and a balcony.
We say: You get an idea of the space when you see a grand piano and a three-seater sofa in the reception area. It's more like a house, except without the garden.
