What lands in your inbox

The questions nobody asks until it's too late.

The lease clause that quietly kills resale

Doubling ground rents, sub-80-year terms, and why some lenders walk away before you've even offered.

How to read a service-charge history

What a sudden jump usually means, the reserve-fund question to ask, and when 'major works' is already decided.

The cladding question to ask before you view

EWS1 status, remediation that's promised versus funded, and the buildings still uninsurable in 2026.
