About Plumbline Journal

Plumbline Journal is a small editorial site for people weighing up new build property UK investment, from first-time landlords to overseas buyers. We write about costs, tenure, tax, yields and the handover process, and we try to be specific about what can go wrong. We do not publish price forecasts or promise returns, and we mark any figure quoted from a developer or listing platform as theirs. We refer to UK developments listed on PropertyDevelopments.com because it is a useful place to see real schemes, and we link to official sources such as GOV.UK where we discuss rules. Nothing on this site is financial, tax or legal advice.
