Welcome to How To Property
How to Property is a new site (November 2015) and has been created to provide project management guidance to budding Property Developers, those embarking on a Self Build and anybody else thinking about carrying out Building Work and Employing Contractors.
The aim of this blog is to help you to become better project managers; to provide you with information, notes and hints and to show you the projects I have completed; my current project is Maddomswood Historic Oak Barn Conversion.
This is a new site so some of the sub-categories have limited or in some cases no content; I am adding posts/articles all the time so please bear with me. If you subscribe you will receive posts and updates as my current project unfolds and more articles are added.
I hope you enjoy reading my blog. You can find out more about me here: About the Author
