Access Lloyd's book called Buy Now, click here Buying around Christmas can work in your favour, but only if your finance, solicitor, and due diligence are lined up.

In this episode, Lloyd explains why the lead-up to Christmas can create real opportunities, how to win with better terms instead of higher offers, and why January can be even quieter for buyers who are ready to move fast. He also breaks down what banks do differently at this time of year, how cooling off periods really work, and why investors often avoid auctions when the numbers and risk need tighter control.

If you’re planning to buy in December or early January, this gives you a clear game plan to stay sharp, avoid FOMO, and protect yourself while still moving decisively.

Lloyd Edge, author of "Positively Geared" and "Buy Now" is the Host of Positively Geared podcast series. Podcast Producer is ASKI Live Media.
