Bio
UK landlord since 1989.
Founder of Property118.com - the mission statement of which is “to facilitate the sharing of best practice among UK landlords and associated professionals”
I live in Portugal, but I am very much British with a UK property rental and development business.
Happy to be interviewed on your Podcast, your YouTube channel and other online events.
I don’t offer mentoring or training as I am semi-retired and enjoying a fantastic work/life balance, but I do comment, frequently publish articles and answer questions posted here on Property118.
