MANUSCRIPT EXCERPT · A SIMPLE VIEWING MINDSET
“On a viewing, walk the property twice. The first time, look at it as a buyer. The second time, look at it as a landlord, tenant and Fire Risk Assessor all at once. The second walk-round is usually the more valuable one.”
From HMOs – The No-Nonsense Guide, by Darren J Young.
