A little introduction...

Yeeeeha! This project started 6,614 bloody days ago.

I originally started this thing to document every step of my journey to becoming a BTL landlord, in hope that more experienced readers might stumble upon this mess and, out of kindness, muster enough pity to lend a hand along the way. I had absolutely no clue about being a landlord when I launched this website, so any guidance was more than welcome.

Fast forward several years, I somehow managed to bumble my way through and achieve my goal [of becoming a landlord] with a help of an amazing community. Now, I occassionally blog about my bitter life as a Landlord, so fellow Landlords (prospective, new, and seasoned) can learn from my few successes and frequent failures.

Important / How this website works...

It's critical you understand that this is only a personal blog, and while the aim is to provide the best resources, guides, tips, tools and techniques for the letting industry, primarily for landlords and tenants, the information should not be relied upon to make any decisions.

Everything I share is based on my own personal experiences as a landlord and independent research, the information is NOT guaranteed to be perfect or accurate, which means you should always seek advice from a qualified professional for any legal or financial matters.

Yes, I do my utmost to ensure the information I share is accurate at the date of publication and thereafter with ongoing maintenance, however, unfortunately, it's not always possible as prices and terms and conditions of products and services frequently change by the provider, so you should always do your own due diligence and double-check first. Any information you choose to use, you do so at your own risk.
