Let me tell you something the property gurus won't put on their Instagram reels: success in property is not a secret. It's not a shortcut. It's not found in a £2,000 weekend course or by following a template someone else built in a different market, at a different time, with different money.

The partner you choose can make or break your financial future. Here’s how to find someone who truly aligns with your goals, not just their commission.
