The ultimate property guru, TV’s House Doctor Ann Maurice, has written a comprehensive guide to all the ins and outs, pitfalls and opportunities of the housing market – from tips how to improve the appeal of your home, to the nitty gritty of mortgages and conveyancing.

We invest so much in property – both financially and emotionally – and the process of buying and selling is littered with complicated jargon, mind-boggling decisions, and people trying to make money out of you and your anxiety.

This book demystifies the property market and explains exactly what it is that solicitors and estate agents do for their money, so that you are empowered to lead the transaction. It will show you what to look for in a property, how to see your house as both an investment and a home, and how to ensure you get the best deal with the least amount of hassle.
