Dear PorpainS,
Vanessa here from Property Tribes. Just a personal note from myself to welcome you to Property Tribes forum. I am the Community Manager and Co-Founder and you will see me on the forums every day sharing my own landlord knowledge acquired over two decades.

We are delighted that you have joined our engaged and friendly community to further your landlord knowledge and education and we know that, by using our resources, you will work smarter and enjoy a more profitable landlord life and also significantly reduce the numerous risks associated with property investment.

Property Tribes is a free to use community & educational resource, supported by an eco-system of trusted suppliers of legitimate products & services for landlords and property investors.

I just wanted to draw your attention to some of them who you may need to support you on your landlord journey:

1. Mortgages and Finance
The PT community is supported by our own friendly and award-winning brokerage, Property Tribes Financial Services. You can call the broker team on 01206 654444 for all your financing needs, including residential, BTL, HMOs, holiday lets, and bridging finance.

2. Insurance
We recommend buildings insurance (freehold), landlord liability insurance, and rent guarantee insurance. Our partner for this is one of the most trusted names in insurance, Alan Boswell Group and they can advise you on all insurance needs including BTL, holiday let, and serviced accommodation. You can call the team on 01603 649736.

3. Banking
Property Tribes is partnered with Tide for banking and we have a special offer of £30.00 cashback when you open your Tide current bank account - including Limited Company bank accounts.

You can learn more here.

4. Portfolio Management Software
Today’s landlords are very fortunate to be able to utilise smart tools to help them on their way to success. Property Tribes is partnered with LendLord for portfolio management and performance software and a very powerful deal analyser. The software is free to use for basic features, but we currently have a special offer to get 40% off up-grading to premium features.

You can find out more here.

5. Personalised advice
Property Tribes is a hive mind of knowledge and experience and if you have a question and post it on the forum, you will usually get a multitude of replies, which is a very healthy way to learn. However, some people require more personalised guidance, and I offer my popular Sounding Board service. You can book a one hour call with me in return for a donation to the running costs of Property Tribes.

You can find out more here.

Finally, if you have any questions please search the forum first using the search tool or indeed post a new thread asking your question. Log in, click “New Topic” top left, choose the tribe to post in, put in the title of your thread, and then write your content in the white box. Press the green “post” button bottom left to publish.

Please be advised that Property Tribes has auto-moderation where a post may be reviewed by a moderator first before publication and we also have probation.

If there is any further help you require, then please ask me on the forums. I am here to help! I am also happy to guide you towards any other products and services you may need. If there is anything else I can assist you with, my contact details are vanessawarwick@icloud.com or 07918 684598.

By using the products and services above and the others displayed around the forums, you are helping maintain PT as a free to use community resource.
