Imagine a world where almost nothing is leasehold.

Where one missing toilet can change how a whole deal is valued

And where pre-auction bargains are the norm

In this episode, I talk to Scottish investor and auctioneer Luis Guarín of Prime Property Auctions  about:

• How the Scottish market really works, 
• Why home reports can be both a blessing and a problem
• How traders are making serious money under the tax threshold

If you invest in the UK, you need to understand Scotland.
