The secret of über-developer Lois Gosling, as revealed to the Telegraph:

"People earning huge sums want top products."

Gosling has an enviable track record, turning mammoth profits on swish properties in no time at all. As well as paying attention to the kit, she apparently works fast, claiming to go from first viewing to detailed plans, costs, finance and purchase in less than two days. She's currently selling Cornwall Gardens in Kensington, Queens Gardens in up-and-coming W2 and Langham Mansions in Earl's Court Square. If you're a budding property developer the Rat and Mouse recommends you read the Telegraph piece so you can see what you're competing against... well-connected, well-financed pros with cheap credit and ready-to-move crews.
