Navigating Utility Challenges!
A BIG word of warning when doing anything with utilities! I was recently talking with a developer, and we were discussing utilities! They made the statement that they thought they had started with the utilities to their development early enough…and then said: “early enough is never early enough” – too true! Way back in October […]
Avoid Falling for the Get-Rich-Quick Mindset
“Just don’t bother starting in property” Well, if that’s your attitude then I would probably agree. Statements like these usually come from one of two places: ???? A lack of knowledge ????

The Quest for Easier Document Handling
Me ……….. with just 45 minutes to go until our solicitors close, I am running around to my neighbour in 40-degree heat (I hardly know them by the way); asking a massive favour “can you witness my signature”. Poor woman, I basically barge my way into her house, thrust a pen in her hand and […]

Crafting a Unique Selling Proposition (USP)
Back in my days at British Airways, they were pioneers in crafting unique selling points, or USPs. One of their standout creations from 1990, “Club Europe,” revolutionised business class travel. Think about BA today, and it’s hard to imagine their fleet without it. Club Europe offered superior seating, dedicated check-in, priority boarding, and complimentary in-flight […]
Auction Oops: Dates and Disasters!
When buying at auction! So not a “knock knock” joke (if you are old enough to remember them!) In the absence of a confirmed completion day by a solicitor, you could easily make the rookie error of assuming the wrong completion date! 56 days : 7 days in a week = 8 weeks = 2 months… WRONG! So as we hurtled towards […]
