Is it time to buy, sell or hold in the UK? We tell you... PLUS: Beware the tax man

Is it time to buy, sell or hold in the UK? We tell you... PLUS: Beware the tax man

Ok, so all the talk at the moment is of a UK property crisis. And yet if you speak to actual investors all they see is opportunity. There may be a disagreement on when that opportunity is - now, six months, 12 months - but an opportunity exists nevertheless.

The question is, what to do? Buy, sell or hold? Our lead article this week tries to answer just that question.

In other news, the tax man is circling UK landlords and overseas investors and Tony Booth is back with the second in a two part series of articles on the top ten scams targeting UK property investors right now. We've waited a while for this one, but it's worth the wait!

This weekend sees us exhibiting at the Homebuyer Show at ExCeL in London. You can find us on Stand 354 and we'd very much like to see you down there if you can make it. In addition, we're holding an Investor Evening tonight. All places are now booked up but for those who are attending, I look forward to seeing you there!

At the Homebuyer Show itself we're holding a number of seminars. To view the seminars available and book your place (there are just a few places remaining) click here.

I look forward to seeing you this weekend.

Cheers
