Your power team isn't a nice-to-have. It's the difference between looking credible and looking like a time waster. Minimum, get a good solicitor, mortgage broker, surveyor, and one reliable builder. Having these names ready before you offer signals to the agents and the vendor that you're serious and ready to complete. Agents have seen hundreds of deals fall through because buyers aren't prepared. So don't be that person. Your mortgage broker should be specialized in investment properties. A high street bank won't cut it. Your solicitors need to be responsive, proactive, and super fast. Slow solicitors will kill your deals. And build your team before you need them. The worst time to find a builder is when just exchange another property.
