Renovation tips with a 15 year veteran...and DIY surveys
After our well received Romania and Czech / Slovak Property Weeks we're back in the UK and getting back to basics - we have a new blog from renovation expert Andy Stern called Doing It Up!. Andy has been investing in and renovating property for over 15 years, in London and on the continent. He is the editor of UK Landlord, the bi-monthly magazine published by the National Landlords Association, and founder of the Property Owners Directory.
Using all that knowledge and experience, he'll be giving you top tips and advice on the whole renovation project, from finding and buying the right property to "doing it up" and then selling. Priceless!
Rob Best, our Property Auction guru, tells you how to carry out a comprehensive property survey on your own - and that's in addition to his weekly round up of the best properties up for auction.
We wrap up our in depth Slovakia coverage too, and dip our toes into the Sofia market.
It's been a very busy month for Property Secrets Publishing and I want to just quickly round up what we've published in February, just in case you missed out on anything that may be of interest! Here's a quick list, you'll find more detail later in this newsletter.
- The Lewis Reports - Over two years of my own analysis into property markets home and abroad - and the factors that affect them - all in one easy to digest downloadable eBook!
- Czech Republic Property Market Profile - Our Research & Analysis team have updated and expanded this Market Profile to include all the latest data from 2007 and projected data for 2008. A must for all Czech property investors.
- Slovakia Property Market Profile - What the R&A team did for the Czech Property Market Profile they have done for the Slovakia Property Market Profile. The ESSENTIAL guide to Slovakia property investment.
- Brno Investment Decision Maker - long awaited and much anticipated Brno research, answering all the key investment questions any investor looking at this market should be asking.

BUENA VISTA Sofia, Bulgaria
» Prices include white finish which is highly unusual in the Bulgarian market
» An independent valuation has valued our units at an average of 18% below market value
» Great investment location just 500 metres from the ring road. Sofia Business Park, which employs circa 10,000 people, is under 10 minutes’ drive from the development
» The developer is completing these units at a much lower price than final finish costs on the open market and this is reflected in the great prices we have secured
» Aspirational residential area; 10 minutes’ from the ski gondola on Mount Vitosha and journey time to the city centre is less than 20 minutes
