Power Team | The Great Northern Property Company

Your Power Team

Ever wondered how you build up a great “Power Team” of all the professionals that you’ll need to make your property journey run smoothly and cost effectively? People who can work quickly and without too much management, and when needed, can go into bat for you to help you get over the obstacles that are bound to come up from time to time?

Well, there’s two ways really. The first is to continuously get it wrong for a few years, make every mistake in the book and waste a lot of time and money along the way. Eventually you’ll work out who’s good and who’s not. This is the model that Chris and Tom went for. The second way is to use Chris and Tom’s Power Team and make them your own – they’re all listed below. Your call.

Oh, and if you go for the second option and need a recommendation for a profession or trade that you can’t see here, get in touch and we’ll be happy to point you in the right direction.

£15 off your first year membership fee when you use the unique code – FPV-361 when you sign up!

There are two main reasons we like them – Firstly, the advice line. You can call up and ask more or less any landlording question you like and they will either answer there and then or get back to you. That’s worth the (very reasonable) membership fee on it’s own. Then there’s all the documents and resources they have on the site which you can download and use as often as you like.  Invaluable.
