Expert Comment and Featured Articles on the Property Letting and Investment Market by David Lawrenson of LettingFocus.com
This page contains twenty general articles of interest to landlords and anyone who in the business of buying property to let and managing a let property.
I'm David Lawrenson the UK's leading expert on buy to let investments and residential property investing and the author of the UK's top selling commercially published property book - 25,000 copies sold to date.
I run property seminars and speak about property at trade events.
I also write and provide information about buy to let, landlord and property investing for newspapers, magazines and websites.
Quoted in all the UK's national newspapers and leading landlord websites over the last 12 months and appearing as a property expert on National TV and Radio, my independent views on property investing are much sought after because I have no links with real estate companies. (Click on About Me to read some examples of where I have been quoted as a property expert in the national press.)

I also work as a consultant - helping property websites, mortgage firms, local authorities and housing associations with their strategy, marketing and customer services for their landlord-facing or buy to let products and services.
Plus I also help private individuals directly with my unbiased and independent one to one property advice mentoring and information service which is focussed on helping people make money ethically through property investing.
