This is particularly so in the media, with even political commentators failing to agree on what Britain’s […]
Beth asked me this morning: What is going to happen to property investors post-Brexit? What is Brexit going to mean for your property investments? The answer I gave to her straightaway of the cup, was, I’ve got absolutely, no idea. My answer wouldn’t have been any different in 2008. If I’ve had been old enough, […]

The digital currencies that are receiving the most attention are Bitcoin, Ehtereum and Litecoin. In it’s simplistic form, its […]
When it comes to offering or buying a property one of the most difficult or stressful things to decide is how much is the property worth. Seems simple, right? Just see what has previously been sold in your local area and you should get a pretty good idea, yes? Or just get an independent survey, […]
