New year's tips for 2025: stock picks and fund choices from financial experts, bloggers and journalists https://t.co/YPNJJTJsCI (just a bit of fun for @proactive_UK - my "tips" are usually the kiss of death for the unlucky company)

Here's a short article I wrote for the Winter edition of the serious but not too serious Property Chronicle magazine: https://t.co/jNW4lvMuGJ @PrprtyChronicle
