Before you Buy That Flat

I wrote this book in plain language, without jargon, in the voice of a

knowledgeable friend rather than a textbook. The stories are drawn from real

patterns I have encountered; the names and details are composites. The

checks and questions are what I would do-what I have done-before

buying a property myself. They are what I tell my relatives, my colleagues and

my neighbours when they ask the question I am asked most often: "How do

I know I can trust this builder?"

You do not trust. You verify. This book shows you how.
