UPVC Windows - £230 no VAT any size fitted
I was on Property Tribes yesterday. Someobody was asking for a recommendation for a window fitter. I quoted the chap I have used for for years who fits a white window for £230 no VAT with a 10 year FENSA certificate. He will fit windows anywhere in the UK. This was the best deal by far and most people thought it wasn't true but plenty wanted his details. It is true and my window fitter, Ricky, has fitted hundreds of windows for me in the last 6 years. Let me know if you want his details.

Welcome to my Blog!
Hi,
I have decided to write a property investment blog. However before I start I am going to tell you a little about myself and why I am writing this blog.
First and foremost I am a property investor. I started investing in 1996 buying my first terrace in Ashton under Lyne. I was very worried about the prospect of becoming a landlord - what would happen if the house burnt down or if the tenant didn't pay the rent? Eventually after a year and a half of research I took the plunge and purchased a full renovated 3 bed mid terrace for £35K. The rent was £350, so it worked out at a 10% return. This cleared several hundred pounds a month and so a purhased another and another.... until I built myself a medium sized portfolio of Northern terraces. During this time I was working for Tesco in their Marketing and Commercial departments. Friends and family started to notice what I was doing and asked me to buy property for them as I seemed to know what I was doing. I realised that this could become a business so in 2004 I left London and moved to the Manchester area. I have now sourced 400 properties for clients. I am also involved with a lettings company called Active Letting who operate nationwide from two offices in Manchester and London. In addition to this I am also a DEA (Domestic Energy Assessor - can create Energy Performance Certificates) and run the pin Hammersmith network meeting (2nd Wed of each month).
I have been told that writing a blog is a good way to connect with like minded people to expand my network and client base - so here goes!
Regards, Fraser
