Property Ladder - How to make ££££s

This highly informative, yet completely comprehensive book is really useful for a person such as myself who is planning to embark upon the seemingly daunting challenge of property development. Sarah Beeny, having been there and done that, gives really helpful pointers on how to approach all aspects from starting to finishing a project. Having read this book from cover to cover, I would seriously recommend this book, especially if you have seen the accompanying series on Channel Four as it is great to read the "Where are they now?" sections on each case study, which really highlights the importance of taking Sarahs advice, ignore it at your peril!!!

Not quite at the top of the ladder

I think I was like most buyers of this book, and only bought it after watching the great TV series. However, this book doesnt come with quite the same high recommendations. For some, property development is an idea, which is unlikely to become a reality. If, like me, thats your situation, then this book is great. It covers everything. But what it has in scope, it lacks in detail, as a lot of important factors are covered relatively briefly. I enjoyed reading this book, and there is some practical advice, and lessons to be learned. But if youre REALLY serious about property development, something a little more substantial may be in order.

Buy Sarah Beenys book before you buy a house!

I live in North Cumbria and wanted to buy a house in need of work, do the work and sell for a profit. If I had done so before reading "Property Ladder" I think I would have lost money. This is a well written, well laid out instruction book telling novices like me what to do and what not to do. The mistakes made by case studies from the TV series are essential reading. I found myself about to do exactly the same and personalise a property which would rule out some potential buyers. The principles of property development are at stake here. Do not buy the book if you are not sure what colour goes with what or how to install a shower cubicle. These subjects are well documented elsewhere and as the reader will discover, making money out of property does not have to involve doing skilled renovations yourself. "Property Ladder" is not packed full of unnecessary and unhelpful photographs of finished projects or glamorous shots of the author arranging flower displays. Thankfully the book explains, reminds and excites the reader about how to make a profit if only you keep reading this book and stick to the clearly written rules.
