When it comes to property investing, you need to know if a property is actually worth buying. When viewing a property do you know exactly what you're looking for or are you just being reactive to what you find. I hardly even view properties anymore because I need to know only certain things so I get other people to view houses for me! (One of the secrets to how I'm able to buy property all over the UK!)
If you want to chat further about all things property and want to learn more about investing with me or getting more training then message me on Instagram (@JamieYorkAspire) and start your message with "RUclips" :)

Ladder- always bring a step ladder with you to view. You need to get into the loft of a property. Without turning lights on, can you see daylight. If you can, then rain will be coming in sooner or later into the roof. Rain and wood dont mix.

Jamie... i can watch you a lot... Great guy and content! You smash it!
Loved it. Liked as usual. So much fab info. I'll be taking this knowledge with me to my viewing on Friday. Thanks so much Jamie!! x
Let me know how you get on!!
Be greedy when others are fearful and fearful when others are greedy. At the moment the market is flooded with keen buyers and I think too many people are piling into a very bubbly market. When things calm down, buyer frenzy decreases and more supply comes onto the market- that is when to start buying and getting good bmv deals. It takes patience, patience, parience. If you cant defer gratification in life, dont get into property. Its taken me 25 years to build a good passive income. Its like nurturing a baby and watching it grow into a mature adult!
Nice!
watched this a few times, thanks for your channel....you are by far the best for property, and quality content! thankyou
Ah I really appreciate that! Thank you
the value is there indeed! thanks loads for this, I'm starting to binge-watch you Jamie! better than Netflix xx
Haha thank you! I'll take that! 😂
Fantastic video mate. Bought my first house to live in last November and you notice a lot of these things from simply living in a house you own. I’ll certainly be taking your advise to my first rental property viewing. Thanks and keep the content coming.
Awesome :)
Thanks Jamie for the viewing doc. That is the nice lecture.
You're welcome
This is a super helpful video - thank you! And thank you for the guide, too!
Glad it helped you! You're welcome, thanks for watching! Hope it helps you!
Hi Jamie, thank you very much for this video. It was very educational and I have taken a lot from it.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you, great video, great to see a process and fundamentality allow me to learn in general.
No probs. Really glad it helps in some way
It will be nice to see the changes that you make to the property, when completed.
I thought I knew a bit about property but I realised my knowledg is lacking. I have learnt a lot today. Thank you Jamie
Keep learning!
Really great video Jamie. I think one bit of advice to give people is - Don't be fooled by new build properties and think they are great and will have no problems / issues. I've been in property BTL for 10 years and I will categorically avoid anything build in the last decade. I'm sure others will elaborate as to why.
hi jamie, this video is super useful to me. Thanks a lot for making this. cheers!!
Glad it was helpful! You're welcome!
Just wanted to say thank you for this, am a FTB looking to buy a tiny flat but the info is still def relevant (and am in a way am glad to not be dealing with the added complexities of a house...!).
First class work and suggestions jamie
Much appreciated!
Gold. Thanks Jamie.
You bet!
hank you so much for this Jamie. You added value to my life
Thankyou! Glad the videos are helping you!
Hey Jamie! I'm just starting out in property and this video plus the document will help massively so, thank you very much! Starting to watch all your videos and I'm hoping to see you in a jacket next time rather than freezing haha! Cheers!
Best of luck! Glad the videos help you! Let me know if you have any questions!
Hi Jamie I think your very fun in your videos, I have held off a few months buying a house as the market is downturning but I will be buying pretty soon. Your videos are very informative and full of good tips.
Thanks bud. You got this
What do you think about potentially staying on site to project manage refubing a property as its probably going to be miles away from me, also I'm a gas engineer and plumber so I was thinking do some of the work myself as well.
some really good tips :) thanks
❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻 Thank you, lots of useful knowledge 🙂
My pleasure 😊
Hi Jamie, I’m fairly new in the property world and I just wanted to say this has been extremely useful! Some real simple things to look out for which I never thought of so thank you. If you have any more videos in the pipeline, similar to this, then that would be super valuable!
Ah no stress at all. Really glad it's helped
500 like, keep doing great videos. And a bit of a laugh too, love it
Booyaaaa! Thanks for the support bud
Brilliant video as always, lots of useful knowledge, keep them coming.
More to come!
Fantastic information. Thanks for sharing.
Glad it was helpful!
Remember- dont be pressured into a sale. There are always other deals to be had around the corner- new properties come onto the market all the time.
v true
Thanks Cary!! You're right - was feeling deflated as the property I wanted just sold! Good advice.
Thanks for the info, very helpful Thanks!
An advert for Jamie before a video of Jamie hot damn this guy's good 👍
Haha, was there really? Well that’s always good! 😂
Hi. This has been amazing! Thank you so much for the content. I would love to have a look at that virtual viewing document you mention but the link doesn't seem to be working. Any chance that this could be looked into please? Many thanks in advance. 😁
Very good J genuine and funny 🎉
Ah thanks very much :)
Hi Jamie, love your videos! Really helpful! I would really love to get a copy of the free viewing document but seems like the link is not valid anymore. Is it possible if you could send me a copy, please?
Damp- commonly caused by mortar between bricks being eroded away by rain and exposing holes and routes into the brick. Water penetrating inside will cause damp patches to plaster. Check the brickwork really well therefore from the exterior of the house
True
Hi Jamie, I absolutely appreciate your videos but i feel the need to pick you up on some of your incorrect information.
The regs on sockets being 450mm ( I don’t know why you said 600mm ) up from the floor is on new builds or a full rewire and not subject to old installations or extensions. This is not an error code on EICR’s and if you have a sparks that says otherwise then they are trying it on with you to get your cash.
Flushing the toilet will not prove anything to do with your boiler, it will only show you whether you have a low pressure or high pressure system and if it’s high pressure then that is delivered from the mains incoming water pipe from the street or if it’s low pressure then that is delivered from a cold water storage tank that usually is in the loft.
Seems I misspoke. Thanks for the addition Chris 💪
Damp - can be caused by rising damp in old properties without a damp course ,dpc. Check the house has a dpc between the bricks to the lower section of the walls. You will see a black material between the bricks- sometimes they used slate.
Thanks!
Thanks Jamie great video
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Well done, very educative. keep up
Thanks for watching
Super helpful thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video Jamie. Any chance you could do a video of a costings for a complete refurb for a BTL? Thanks, Ben.
Great suggestion!
Floorboards- if they dip and there is movement there is possibly rotten joists! If you can lift a whole board up check out the joists!
You could do this
Thank you very much, it was really helpful video! I appreciate all the tips I can get! I want to start with property investments very soon. Apologies, the link to the virtual viewing document doesn't work, could you re- add it, please? I would love to have it.
I'd laugh if the kitchen tap, that kept on getting colder and colder, was actually piped up the wrong way round and the hot had been plumbed in on the right 🤣🤣
Quality video though! Really informative and helpful 👍🏻
Quite possibly aha! Cheers for watching mate!
Hi Jamie, do you happen to have another link for the document? Getting my first property and want to know would love have this while doing it! Thanks
Dry rot.
Another cracking video. Can you please do a follow up video showing how to find the correct tradesmen or refurb team, how to negotiate with them and how to time them coming into the property (as in which order). Then a further video on how to price things up with the tradesmen...just do a whole series lol
Coming soon
Enjoyed the video Jamie especially when the shower came on 🤣 cost of replaster/condition of walls/ceilings also important I'm thinkin
😂 thanks mate!
@@JamieYork do you know how long it will take to remortgage with the same lender to pull out some cAsh ?
Thx for sharing your knowledge 🫶
Cheers mate! Thanks for watching!😊
Hi Jamie. Great video! Is the viewing document still available? Link on description does not appear to be working. Many thanks!
I have never viewed or purchased property, i have only ever rented in shit flats so this was so useful as I am going to buy a house
Love that! So glad to add value 💪
Very helpful 👍🏻
Thanks :)
Great video thanks 😊
You’re welcome 😊
Learnt so much from this video, thanks Jamie. Can I be sent the link as it doesnt seem to be working, thank you!
Great video once again. Thank you for sharing you knowledge. Bummer that I cannot open the link in the subscription-can you check if it all works correctly from your side? 👍
Love the video Jamie, but your advice on the Double glazing needs updating brother. 'Condensation' as you called it which I am assuming you mean moisture between the two pieces of glass is just the double glazed unit breaking down on the edge you cannot actually see. It's not actually condensation but trapped moisture. Anywayyyyyyy, as we move into the new EPC banding one of the easiest things to do is just replace the glass units so they are thermally better rather than replacing the actual PVC frame. K glass is one way that can be done. and takes a glazer about 20 mins each piece of glass - so it's very cost effective - one for the future I'd say. Spot-on tho for the cost of a replacement DG unit at around £80.
Cheers mate thanks for watching!
Damp- like Jamie said, get a cheap damp meter. It will give you a general indication if the house has high moisture. You can usually smell damp. If you can get below the floorboard level in the old victorian properties , feel the soild, debris between the brick pillars that suppoet the joists. Sometimes the soil or clay is saturated- if so, either likely to be high water table or leaky mains water pipe running under the house. If you flush the loo or run the tap and watch the soil, if there is an influx of water in the soil you have a mains leak.
Great info thanks for sharing 👍
:)
NICE!!!
:)
Thanks Jamie good stuff & helpful. I cant see the link you mentioned 😔
Have a great day
Drains, go outside, lift manhole cover, open taps up, flush toilet, does water drain away properly. Collapsed drain, very expensive
wow
Hi Jamie, love the video! The document link doesn't seem to be working, if you could please share it with me that would be very helpful. Thanks!
Very good common sense advice !
Cheers mate!
Good video
First here for the knowledge
Yes! haha!
@@JamieYork Jamie you are amazing God send looking to get into my first property soon
Hi Jamie - Can we get a new link to the Free Viewing Document? Thanks!
Hi Jamie, is there anyway of renewing the link to the viewing document or an alternative way of downloading it? Cheers
Loved the video and all the information. I have registered to download the document from the above link but no emails yet. Is that link spam to collect people's phone numbers and email addresses?
Jamie Hi, great video, will download the guide. One question, based on your model and pricing structure, I have a great builder who I want to make an exclusive agreement to do all the works on houses as per your video. X4 houses per year, Id like to agree a fair fixed price, so we can both make effective financial plans moving forwards, what/how would you structure an agreement (all the money down/in is mine) what kind of price would you anticipate agreeing, and also my plan is to go ltd, any things to look out for? Thanks, Dave
@Faith Nxumalo
Really great video,Jamie well done.are these following certificates relevant in this viewing EPC,EICR,GSC and FRA..can you plz mention the full meaning of these certificate plz.thanks
Noted!
EPC, double glazing is certainly important, but, make sure you look at roof insulation, trv valves to rads, thermostat, wall insulation, smart meter installed.....
Cheapest way to increase rating - replace lights with led/energy efficient ones
Thanks
Jay is always sunny in Leeds..Lol!
I wish...
Jamie you're a top man I'm so glad I found your videos!
Hoping that we can meet one day once I establish myself into the property world.
Looking forward to it!
Good vid
Thanks dude!
The water will only run hot if there is a combi boiler. The boiler may work but not be a combi, so you need to check that.
Great suggestion!
Hi Jamie, is there anyway of renewing the link to the viewing document?
I can walk around a property in 15 mins and assess very easily if a property is going to be a money pit. It takes a lot of experience to do this. I find sometimes taking a builder over is actually better than getting a survey! Slip a builder a few notes to come look at the property b4 you make an offer.
every time mate , every time !! surveyors are mostly just jobs worth people !
Solid advice
Builders will def find works for them lol
Torch- bring a really powerful torch on all viewings. Often the electric is not on and you will need to see in the roof, in cellers and other areas without daylight.
True
Dry rot.
Another cracking video.
Thanks
Great Video and i am a big fan of your work and video., very helpful ...the viewing Doc link is not working, please can you check and advise?
I will check it out
Hi Jamie, thanks for this video. I received an email with the virtual viewing guide but I could not open the doc. receive this message: " This site cannot be reached". Could you please advise? Thanks! Ines
Top tip, go look at 20 random properties to get experience of going through the motion. Best practice b4 actually buying a house without the knowledge and experience
Good advice
I think a quite a few people have already mentioned it but is there any chance I could get a copy of the viewing document please Jamie the link isn’t working
Electric eicr can pass with sockets at ground level. Its likely to fail if cable condition (insulation resistance) fails or if there is another
Significant fault like a missing main earth cable (cpc).
Hi, do you have a Instagram or Facebook to message you directly on ?
@@benwalsham6803
Hi Ben. Please can I ask why?
Cool :)
Great video, thanks. It seems the link to the viewing document doesn't work anymore.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Awesome video mate, i am from Syney and properties here are crazy expensive, any recommendations for a good company does the same thing in sydney. Thanks
Hey Rami, Sadly my networking isn't as strong in the Sydney area!
@@JamieYork thank you for coming back to me, how I can apply your strategies in Australia and what kind of courses or education you advice me to do before I start. Thank you heaps
Can you please share the viewing document as the link in the description doesn't work
Is it possible to get a new link to the document please?
Hi Jamie would be grateful if could make a video about Japanese knotwude
When would you bring in a surveyor?
would be nice to get that viewing doc as well tho, link isn't working
By the time you complete your checks, the estate agent will tell you the house is already sold ! Remember always good houses go quickly. The ones that rest in the market for a long time usually have issues. Unless you are in a very vibrant area, full refurbishment or rewiring will not return any money and you will be in loss. The cost of labour and material is too high to compensate the expenses and losses.
I’d disagree with that. Why on earth would you buy at a loss?! Factor in the numbers! 😊
Hi Jamie great video, the link for the pdf doesn’t work do you have another link perhaps?
I'm looking into it!
Is there a new link?
Jamie - really love your videos.
A question on Japanese knotweed - would you consider buying any property that had once affected by Japanese knotweed? My case is that it was 10 years ago and was treated properly - I may get a discount but really can’t fight the stigma and it may put off buyers in the future. I’d appreciate your thoughts.
Depends on what you want to do with the property
Hi mate, Can’t access that document… is there another link cheera
Always get a profesional survey though unless you are very experienced. Having knowledge yourself though will help you sift the chaff from the wheat and save you a ton of cash time and headaches
MOST suryerors have not a clue ! get a good builder in too look at a fraction of the cost , free even , if you are gonna hand him the work !
You're dam right
I've just realised I'm a little Aussie Jamie.
I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing...
Water pressure. HMO houses need a high pressure water feed. If you open up the tap and you get a pathetic pressure then dont try and convert to an HMO
interesting
Is the viewing doc still available, I submitted the form on click funnels however I have not received the doc
Hi Jamie. I've attempted to obtain the download a couple of times with no joy. I've checked spam also. Can you help?
link to virtual viewing? and which one you said viewer
?
I have never cared if floorboards squeak...In fact, I find it part of the charm of an old home. Never had squeaking floors be a red flag for bad foundations or anything serious, just a house settling. Also, I look past junk in the front yard or tall weeds...could just be recent renters, does not always mean the house itself is uncared for.
Everyone is different I suppose, some are more bothered by some things others are not
Jamie . I did not receive the viewing doc . I accessed the link at the bottom
Of the video and then filled out my details but I don’t see the viewing form in my email
