About Us

YourPropertyBlog.co.uk is a straightforward property blog created for UK buyers, sellers, landlords, and everyday people trying to understand the housing market.

If you’ve ever felt lost with estate agent jargon, confused by changing tax rules, or frustrated by the process of buying, renovating, or renting a home, you’re not alone. This blog was made to break down complicated property topics into clear, helpful advice that actually makes sense.

We’re not here to sell anything or use hype. Just honest guidance based on real experience.

Meet James
The voice behind the blog is James Cartwright, a London-based landlord and property investor with over 15 years of hands-on experience.

James began in his late twenties, saving up for a small flat in South London. Since then, he has built a portfolio of rental properties, managed numerous renovations, from minor updates to full refurbishments, and learned firsthand how unpredictable the UK market can be. He’s seen interest rates rise and fall, policies change, and local markets evolve, and he’s stayed active throughout it all.

Now, James writes here to help others avoid the mistakes he made early on and to share what works in today’s market.

What You’ll Find Here
We focus on practical topics that really matter:

  • Buy-to-let strategies

  • Tips for landlords and how to let legally

  • Working with estate agents

  • Buying, renovating, and selling in today’s market

  • Understanding property finance

  • Simple templates and resources, such as tenancy agreements and checklists

All content is based on real-world experience, no buzzwords, no fluff.

Why This Blog Exists
The UK property market isn’t easy to navigate, especially if you’re not a professional. Many guides assume you already understand the jargon or have a big budget for advice. We want to cut through the noise with clear, useful information. If one blog post helps someone save a few hundred pounds or avoid a costly mistake, it’s worth it.

We’re here for the long haul, growing slowly and steadily, just like a solid property investment.
