Doing a job badly and then getting someone in to sort it out can be much more expensive than getting someone in to do the job properly in the first place.

For me adulthood is realising that there are no grown-ups and everyone else is winging it.

In any market, in any country, there are developers who make money. So I say all of this doom and gloom, but there will always be people who make money, because people always want homes.

Don’t stretch yourself too much with a mortgage. Buy within your means. It’s not worth the sleepless nights.

I have never watched property programmes. I watch Property Ladder, because I feel it's very rude for a director to work very hard on a programme and you can't be bothered to even watch it. So I do watch it, but I have to turn away when I'm on screen. It's quite unpleasant seeing myself up there.

I kind of hate to be the voice of doom, but I just can't see how prices can't go down. I think people have actually forgotten that property prices can decrease. There's this feeling that they just won't fall, but, of course, that's not true.
