A course created by a Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and practising Chartered Surveyor.

This course has been created to help those involved in the buying of property, focused on residential property but with information that can be relevent to any type of property purchase, understand the process and gain invaluable INSIDER TIPS & GUIDANCE on the property buying process.

As a Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and formerly a Bricklayer/Building contractor I have over 35 years experience in the property and construction industry, currently running my own small property surveying business in the South of England.

This course has been created to help those involved in the property buying process understand this from my perspective and provides loads of useful tips, guidance and information that property buyers will find useful and that is not available in books.

I discuss the tools I use daily to research properties and a property buying using these could save potentially thousands of pounds, along with saving time and stress.
