It is strange what information you come across when you are reading a paper or browsing the web, but this recent story even startled me.
According to research by mortgage advisors John Charcol, more than 28% of the UK property market does not know the size or cost of their mortgage rates, whilst a further 50% [...]
No one wants to move in next to a nuisance neighbour who makes a racket, blocks your driveway or is abusive, and this is the same for your tenants too.
Like homeowners the last thing they want to do is live next to someone who harasses them – they want to live in peace. But the [...]
I have always been fascinated by the property investment scenario used in Scotland. It is not just because homeowners can easily get you to bid more than 25% above their properties real worth, but it is the general mystery their property investment system has got to offer as a whole.
It is undeniable that the buy-to-let mortgage market has considerably improved in the last 4 months, yet despite these clear improvements these deals are no where near the quality they were in 2007.
It is a catch-22: impressive 100% buy-to-let mortgages on properties valued £250,000 and above or restricted mortgage deals on properties that are discounted [...]

I can’t describe how refreshing it was to watch a property television show that accurately portrayed all aspects of the property market. After reading negative story after negative story in the press, ‘Property Watch’ managed to introduce a balance where all sides got equal coverage.
I admit I have always been fascinated by the draw of renting out buy-to-let properties to students, and today is no different. Whilst I was researching this morning I came across an incredible article in the Financial Times about the CBS’s plans to invest £20m into discounted residential properties.
You probably hear the phrase all the time that ‘now is the best time to invest and set up a property deal’ – it is the slogan on the lips of every successful property invester around. But if the Birmingham Post’s recent story on mortgage rate cuts is correct, then this phrase could in fact [...]
Hey everyone,
I honestly don’t know what to make of this article by BBC News: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7855847.stm. It is either very original or very crazy.
You see the council are planning to build social houses out of Straw bales. Now whilst on the one hand I have got a clear image of the 3 little pigs in my [...]
Hey everyone,
I have learnt a great philosophy this week, one that I just had to share with you: ‘It is all about the cashflow’.

I am actually shocked [...]
