Why the house price slowdown may be limited, why you need to take extra care picking the right tenants and why you should let part furnished. All in LettingFocus's latest property blog

I'm David Lawrenson, the UK's top selling author and property expert. I'm also a property journalist and an expert on all landlord matters and buy to let.

In my property investment consultancy business I help companies and private individuals alike.

My work with banks, building societies, housing associations and web portals helps them achieve step changes in their strategies, products and operations for their property investment and buy to let products and services. To find out more, just click on Property Seminars and Consultancy.

For private individuals I can help as a property mentor and property coach to assist individual property investors solve their buy to let and residential property investment problems.

If you are a new landlord or more experienced, I can help you with one to one advice on the best buy to let mortgage, where and what type of property to invest in, overseas property investment, how to get landlords mortgages and how to deal with problems with tenants - plus lots of other things besides.

What's different about my landlords consultancy is that it is UNBIASED, because unlike most "advisors" I'm not linked to a property company or a finance provider. I just tell you all about buy to let and property investment - the good and the bad.

And as a landlord myself, with 22 years experience of investing in property, I'm very familiar with the problems property investors face.

I'm a frequent property media comentator and speaker on property investment in the press, on TV and for companies and trade associations and I write as a freelance property writer and property columnist for a number of magazines and websites. So, if you are from the media and you would like a comment from me, please feel free to contact me by email or call on 020 8690 3138.
