Five Property Books for Attleborough Buyers and Sellers

A great property deal can set you up for life and allow you to leave a legacy for your family. But a bad deal or no deal will haunt you for years. So, how can buyers and sellers ensure they come out on top in the property game? To tie in with World Book Day on 7 March, here are five property books worth reading.

How to Buy Your First Home (and how to sell it too) by Phil Spencer

Property Ladder: The Developer’s Bible by Sarah Beeny
If you fancy renovating a doer-upper and selling it on, this book will help you get started. It’s an oldie (first published 15 years ago) but a goodie. Beeny explains how to plan and cost projects to avoid nasty overspends and draws on the expertise of surveyors, lawyers and estate agents.

Ask for More: 10 Questions to Negotiate Anything by Alexandra Carter
This book isn’t specifically about the property market but focuses on a central plank of any property deal: negotiating.

Given that, often, price isn’t the only deciding factor in a property sale – timing and emotional attachment also come into play – it’s a worthwhile read.
