Look elsewhere for property advice  |

I wish I hadnt bothered. The book is full of useful tips like dont paint rooms deep purple.
Anyone with a modicum of common sense could write this book.

The book you must have if you have read this far!!!  |

Id recently become interested in making money from property with a view to a permanent income in later life, my first port of call was to amazon to read up on the subject.
This book was one of 6 books that I bought in one hit, on the basis that you can never have too much information. This was the fifth of six that I read and it still had little insights not previously covered. Split fees, Surveyors building price guides, 1977 Rent Act, 1988 Housing Act, Calculating the Yield, etc
This book is very well written with non-patronising worked examples and very clear explanations of terminology new to me. It also contains helpful references for further reading throughout, and covers topics to a level required to stimulate your mind into further more detailed research. This, I feel is very important as the whole subject is not without pitfalls and this book guides you subliminally into researching the subject correctly and succeeds in removing the gung-ho approach of cash burning a hole in your pocket....

Dont bother with this one  |
I dont know who these people are who wrote the reviews above (or are they below?) - friends of the author I would imagine. The book has SOME interesting points in it and does have some things that make you go "are yes thats a good point" BUT it is padded out with the obvious, lots of "case studies" and other space filling techniques (e.g. a few blank or almost blank pages here and there AND a series of very short letters describing how to negotiate the buying price of a property that take up three and half side of the book and could be summarised in about three-quarters of a side).In my opinion its a very expensive book for the quantity and quality of material it contains.
