π§ Recommended Resources
Hereβs a curated list of tools, websites, and people I trust and use regularly in my property business. These are practical, proven, and UK-focused. Some are game-changers I use daily β others are silent protectors in the background.
π Essential Property Websites
- Rightmove / Zoopla / OpenRent β The go-to platforms for UK landlords and investors. Great for spotting trends, sourcing deals, and doing due diligence.
- PropertyData β My secret weapon. Helps me analyse yields, spot below-market opportunities, and download market stats that impress investors. Paid and free options available.
- Land Registry β Need to verify ownership or price history before making an offer? This is your official source. I use it to stay sharp.
- NRLA β If youβre a landlord in the UK, this is a must. Contracts, legal guidance, compliance help β all in one place.
π οΈ Tools I Use Personally
- Google Sheets + Workspace β This is the backbone of my operations. CRM, cashflow sheets, offer logs, automations β all in real time, shared with my VA and business partners.
- HubSpot (Free CRM) β Helps me stay on top of leads, emails, and follow-ups without missing a beat. Syncs beautifully with Gmail and Sheets.
- Make.com β Think of this as my digital assistant. It sends follow-ups, logs new leads, updates my pipeline, and even posts to social media. Automation = freedom.
- DocuSign β No printer, no scanner, no stress. I use it for signing JV agreements, ASTs, LOIs, and everything in between. Fully compliant and legally binding.
- Xero / QuickBooks β When it comes to tracking expenses, income, and mileage β these tools save my sanity. My accountant loves them too.
- Bitwarden β One password vault to rule them all. Every log-in, document, and security note lives here. Peace of mind, encrypted.
- GlassWire β Great for checking what your apps are really doing behind the scenes. Helps me protect data, especially when using public Wi-Fi.
- Discord β My favourite way to stay connected with mastermind groups and communities. Itβs like Slack, but more fun and better organised for real-time knowledge exchange.
- WhatsApp Business β Fast communication with investors and clients, labels to manage conversations, and automated away messages. Saves time and keeps me human.
- Tor Browser β For when I research sensitive topics or test how my public listings look from different locations. Privacy-focused and security-conscious.
