Jacqueline Stanton HOW DO I FIND A GENUINE BUSINESS PARTNER?

I joined the tribe a few weeks ago, started a discussion on SRB and then ducked out. Sorry - been busy trying to get planning permission for change of use at my office, What a nightmare!

I am retired, own a BLT in Sunbury and run two small companies. The house is l… Continue

David May Messages From Zimbabwe

Hi everyone, As some of you will know I split my time living half in the Uk and half in Zimbabwe. Well, with the onset of Autumn I decided it was time to come back to Zim and the best climate in the world ( Lonely Planet on Harare ). One other factor was my wife threatening divorce if I didn't come back. I'm actually a Brit from Croydon and run May Properties with my brother Del who will be keeping things going while I'm away.

James Benson Is this a worthwhile Option proposition?

Good morning, I am not sure about Options but a friend of mine is considering the following idea. He owns outright a two bedroomed two bathroom terraced house in Stockport which was fully refurbished 12 months ago. It has been rented out(£550 PCM) for the past year and the tenants are moving on. As he spends considerable time overseas he does not want to be bothered letting again and he does not need the cash (from a sale) immediately he was considering offering an Option to buy. His proposition… Continue

Vivien White Struggle with Typical Estate Agents/Letting Agents in Lease Option offer

Hi Guys, Thought I would try my first real blog!!!! I have recently placed a lease option offer for a property I wanted. I could not get the owner direct so had to go through the Agents. I explained in depth the whole idea verbally and in writing, but did not get their support. Not only did they not understand the idea, they were jealous of me, and it just did not work. I suppose it did not help that the Owner was overseas and could not see the advantage of the sale. Ultimately perhaps he real… Continue
