The Property Diaries is a fun and informative guide for women who want to get their well-heeled feet on the property ladder. Packed with practical information about saving for a deposit, applying for a bank loan and researching properties, the book follows real estate rookie Maggie Rose as she finds her dream home ? and possibly her dream man as well!

In this much awaited follow-up to Living Thin, we rejoin Maggie two and a half years after she went from penniless to prosperous. She has now saved a fabulous $30 000 ? perfect for a deposit on her dream home, or so she thinks.

The Property Diaries is a hilarious look at the roller-coaster ride of the first home buyer that will help you learn everything you need to know about securing your first property ... and you don't have to wait for Prince Charming!
