This week we’re talking about how to maximise your rent – both in terms of re-letting a property, and raising the rent on an existing tenant. It’s a topic worth delving into because if you’re being squeezed by growing expense...
This week we’re talking about buying at auction: potentially a great source of grabbing property bargains, but certainly not as easy as Homes Under The Hammer makes it look! We talked through some tips for making sure you don...
This week we went over to the dark side…of property investment, naturally, and talked about the many dangers that lurk there for unsuspecting investors. Some of the nasties lurking on the dark side that we talked about were: ...
Joint Ventures get touted around a lot as a great way to get involved in property when you don’t have any funds or the ability to raise a mortgage: just find someone with cash who wants to get into property but doesn’t have t...
This week we’re celebrating the launch of our new podcast – The Property Investment Tips Podcast – by sharing some of the favourite pieces of advice that have been shared by our team of bloggers on The Property Hub. The new p...
We’ve spent the last 78 weeks talking about intentional property investment, but it doesn’t start out that way for lots of people: it’s very common to become an “accidental landlord”, and that often becomes a springboard into...
With the vote on Scottish independence a week away, we thought this would be an excellent time to ask: should you buy property in Scotland? As well as speculating about the impact of the independence vote, we also covered: Th...

This week, no two ways about it: we had a bit of a moan. Yes, we each picked three items to go into our personal Property Room 101 – an idea we shamelessly “borrowed” from Pete Matthew, who did his own Room 101 on the Meaning...
The property market is moving fast, and you can’t rely on the newspapers to give you an accurate picture of what’s happening – or to give you the level of detail you need about what’s happening in your local market. So this w...
This week we’re celebrating the official launch of Yellow Lettings! So what better time, we thought, to do a whole episode about getting the best from your letting agent. We’ve said before that a good agent can make your prop...
