    How will the US real estate market perform in 2020?

    Hi @markmyrick880 Is the US real estate market really booming? Even though US unemployment rates have come down in the short-term, whether this will last or not is anybody's guess, they are still painfully high. While it is safe to say the UK property market is much stronger than many had...

    Is it time to look at buying student accommodation?

    I think if you keep your powder dry, you will see a lot of private and commercial student accommodation being sold off cheaply. The second leg of the pandemic is yet to really get going so the impact on student accommodation still has some way to go.

    Are we at the bottom of the mortgage interest rate cycle?

    Not yet, but how much impact any further down the movement will have on the mortgage market is debatable. There is growing talk that UK base rates will move into negative territory in the short-term. What impact this will have on the economy is debatable. Surely the blunt instrument of interest...

    Advice Required - Land Soakaway Issue

    This issue must be the responsibility of the homeowner? All you can do is ask them to rectify the problem, I am sure the local authority would be keen for a resolution as well, and then buy the land from them.
