Talking to David Lawrenson about property investment.
This second Landlord Law podcast is more of a conversation than an interview. David Lawrenson is a property advisor and expert and we had a most interesting discussion. For example we looked at
- The three most important mistakes landlords made
- The best types of property to buy
- Student lets – and some warning notes for new investors
- Choosing tenants – and Davids special tips
- Agents – we talked a lot about agents and covered the Data Protection Act, the Foxtons case and agents fees, and online letting agents
- Rogue operators, criminal tenants, and Davids own tenant from hell
- And finally Davids work with banks and local authorities
