essay online I’ve been building my property portfolio since 2012. It took me about 4 months to find the first property. I viewed 52 properties just to understand what I needed and wanted. When I found the right one I could not contain my emotions. The estate agent could see my overexcitement and eagerness. It was very difficult to negotiate a competitive price as he could see how badly I wanted this property. The first lesson I learned there was that if you don’t show too much of your excitement and save it for later you may get a discount. I secured a mortgage with a good interest rate (2.4%) Only 3 months later I realised that it wasn’t the right choice. When the vendor discovered there was no progress achieved, he was inclined to return the property back to the market and I nearly lost the deal. In the end, we managed to exchange the contracts and I got the property. The second lesson I learned was that It is very important to have a good solicitor. The flat was in a mediocre condition. I had to do a lot of internal work to make it look presentable. Over the course of the years I built a good team of electricians, carpenters, plumbers, maintenance who can solve any problem in a fast and an efficient manner. I also learnt a great deal about property management. I figured out the ways and processes to be able to find the right tenants, the ways to keep the maintenance costs down as well as becoming proficient in dealing with the legal side of things such as drafting of the tenancy agreements, dealings with the tenants’ eviction, notice 2, etc. I also learned to watch out for the red flags and avoid getting troublesome tenants in the first place, among many other things. I now have an extensive portfolio of my own properties and I also ready to help you to sell let or manage your property. I am constantly learning about this industry by listening to podcasts, reading books, watching videos, speaking to landlords and agents. I will be happy to use all my experience to let and manage your property.

I am a landlord, I know how you feel
Estate agent recommended me a solicitor. I did not have a good solicitor in mind at the time and I was happy with the one he gave me.
The solicitor who was dealing with my case left the company and never handed it over to anyone else.
