Seminars and consulting

As the author of the UK's top selling book on property investment and buy to let, my consultancy service for both companies and individuals is in constant demand.

Lettingfocus is unique because we have no links at all to developers or agents and we don't sell finance.

Sadly, too many property seminars, gurus and "expert reports" are really just developers or agents brochures designed to "talk up" a development or market in order to get the investor to part with their money on the seminar givers' own housing projects.

All too often I see big profits made by such companies by charging fees to customers for supposedly having an inside track on these deals.

The sad reality is that many novice investors are persauded to buy into properties that are oversupplied, hard to sell on (no exit strategy) and hard to rent out at anywhere near the level that the investors were promised.

Other players give advice on how to buy property cheaply from motivated sellers with no money down whilst the advisers make lots of money from fees for bridging finance and related professional services.

At LettingFocus.com, we are different because at my networking evenings, seminars, talks and one to one consultancy for private investors, I simply explain the real facts about buy to let - the good and the bad with no bias at all!

No attempt is made to sell property to you (though I can search for and help you find good areas and types of property which you should look invest in) And as I dont sell property or finance you can be sure that my advice is fully independent.

Whether you are more experienced or new to buy to let and property investment, I can help you - and my advice is always tailored around your specific needs.

And I can help you every step of the way.

I don't charge thousands of pounds for my advice - my  one to one consultancy offers good value - and my group networking evenings where I also give short talks are just £30 - and I don't promise you'll become a property millionaire overnight. And my one to one consulting is also sensibly priced too.

I just tell you everything you need to know about buy to let. And that's it! To find out more just send me an email.



Due to the pressures of my corporate consulting work, my evening network seminar sessions now take place only every 4-6 months. So, make a note to catch the next one.

At these sessions, I give a number of brief informal talks and people are free to network with other property investors and expert speakers who I bring along to each session.

The next one this year will be downstairs at the Red Herring pub Gresham Street, London EC2 on Wednesday 24th September 2008 from 530pm to around 845pm. (Corner of Gresham Street and Wood Street.)

You don't need to be there for the start - just get there when you can.

You will be free to meet and chat to other residential property investors and stay as long or as short as you want. I give a short talk about a variety of residential property and buy to let issues and be available to answer questions. Each session will be followed by a discussion.

Spaces are limited so if you wish to come to this great evening, simply Contact Me at david@lettingfocus.com with your full name. If you pre-book now, the cost is £25 which is payable on the door. Send me an email to find out more.

And if there is a topic you would like me to cover in one of the short talks just ask me.

See for yourself what people think of these events by checking our Testimonials page. We hope to able to run a session in Manchester and expand to other cities too in the near future.

One to one consulting

In addition to the networking sessions, I also run a private mentoring, coaching and consulting service where I provide one to one advice.

This can be tailored around your specific needs and can take place at your home if you wish - or even done over the phone.

Thus it can often be done more quickly and in a more focused way than in a seminar, ensuring that I only cover what you need to know.

I'm often asked to evaluate a potential investment or give advice on good areas and types of property to invest in - but my advice can cover the whole range of property investment and letting issues.

Unfortunately, due to time constraints and my workload I'm not able to answer specific buy to let queries on email or over the phone.

Read what other people thought about my one to one consultancy in the Testimonials page of this site.

As well as my private work, I also do an increasing amount of work for small and big companies who are either already in the buy to let business or who are thinking of entering it for the first time.

This work can cover the whole range of projects from strategy to marketing, to product design to customer service and beyond.

As a former internal management consultant in the financial services industry I'm well qualified to undertake such projects.

Speaking and commentating in the press

I’m frequently asked to comment on property issues and to give speeches at trade shows and conventions.

Just within the last 3 months, I have been quoted ten times in the Nationals - see the links to some of those articles here....

If you are a TV, newpaper or magazine editor and would like me to comment or you book speakers and you would like to book me to speak at a convention for you, please send me an email.

Convention planners, speakers agents and property companies should note that I will never "push" real estate or bridging finance to customers - and as such I must always charge commercial rates for my speaking enagagments.
