Episode notes
Fear Is Personal And Temporary
- Different people fear different parts of property deals and that's normal.
- What's intimidating once will feel routine after a few experiences.
Expect Full Risk Disclosure
- Do expect an independent legal adviser to spell out every risk when remortgaging through a company.
- Treat their thoroughness as protection, not a sign the deal is unusually dangerous.
Use The Solicitor To Understand Your Deal
- Do remember most people don't read every legal document they sign, so take the forced review seriously.
- Use the solicitor's explanation to sleep easier about the actual product risks.
