Fletcher's book gives a useful overview of do's and don'ts.
From finding and buying to selling and renting, this practical guide to the property world includes guidance on dealing with estate agents and solicitors. While books can struggle to keep up with the rapid movements of the mortgage market, they can offer help with the basics, says David Hollingworth of London & Country, a mortgage broker. "They can give the reader enough knowledge to find the right advice and ask the right questions when the time comes to seeking out the best deal - Fletcher's book gives a useful overview of do's and don'ts."
