"I initially started this website as a complete property idiot;
the plan was to document my every step from property idiot to
property landlord (mission accomplished), in hope that people would
find my site and help me along the way (they did!). Read
about my journey from A-B in my
Property Diary and read
more About Me and the project.
This project started 548
days ago, and due to the popularity of this website, it's just kept going,
going and going; it's evolved into a useful area
for property enthusiasts that like to learn and share."
