Rating:  - A waste of moneyAnyone buying this book in the hope of gaining a more in-depth view of property development will be disappointed. It simply restates the common sense tips given in every episode of the TV series. ie 'don't exceed your budget' 'know your market' etc. Basically Ms Beeny is cashing in on the success of the series. The book is reasonably well presented and features a few colour photographs, mostly straight from the series, the largest photo being of Ms Beeny herself wearing a white tracksuit and an enormous grin... With considerably more effort it could have been an interesting book and worthwhile purchase, but, as Ms beeny would say, why spend £5000 on a kitchen when you can get away with £2000 - or - why spend six months working on a book when you can knock it out in a few weeks and still make the same money? So I guess it would have been naive of me to expect anything more substantial, whatever,I won't be buying any books by Ms Beeny again. Rating:  - Buy Sarah Beeny's book before you buy a house!I live in North Cumbria and wanted to buy a house in need of work, do the work and sell for a profit. If I had done so before reading "Property Ladder" I think I would have lost money. This is a well written, well laid out instruction book telling novices like me what to do and what not to do. The mistakes made by case studies from the TV series are essential reading. I found myself about to do exactly the same and personalise a property which would rule out some potential buyers. The principles of property development are at stake here. Do not buy the book if you are not sure what colour goes with what or how to install a shower cubicle. These subjects are well documented elsewhere and as the reader will discover, making money out of property does not have to involve doing skilled renovations yourself. "Property Ladder" is not packed full of unnecessary and unhelpful photographs of finished projects or glamorous shots of the author arranging flower displays. Thankfully the book explains, reminds and excites the reader about how to make a profit if only you keep reading this book and stick to the clearly written rules.
