Practical, up-to-date guides for every stage of buying, owning, and investing in UK property. No jargon, no filler.
From saving your deposit to picking up the keys — a complete, honest guide covering mortgages, stamp duty, government schemes (LISA, Shared Ownership, First Homes), hidden costs, surveys, and leasehold. Everything in one place.
From your first call with an adviser to your first monthly payment — exactly what happens at each of the eight stages and what you need to do at each one to keep things moving.

Stamp duty surcharge, BTL mortgage rates, Section 24 tax restrictions, the April 2027 income tax rises, the Renters Rights Act, rental yields by region, and whether the numbers still stack up.
