| Mentee Call With Rita! | 04 Feb 2019 | 00:32:24 | |
In this episode, Kevin answers a range of questions from a Mentee who is moving from Buy to Let into Serviced Accommodation. Kevin shares his extensive expertise and knowledge, so listen in and find the answers anyone moving into Serviced Accommodation needs.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
When there is a mortgage on a property you have to seek the permission of the lender if you are going to change how it is used. Most agents currently don’t understand what S.A. is, so how you ask for permission is key; making the request in a different way (e.g. can I change the usage of the property to furnished holiday lets?) can help agents understand and achieve a positive response. A lenders primary concern is that the mortgage payments are being made. If you change a property usage from HMO or Buy to Let to SA the insurance product will need to be changed to ensure appropriate cover is in place.
Relief is awarded when your property has qualified as a furnished holiday let this involves the property being available for 210 days. A good capital allowance surveyor would typically be able to get between 30% and 35% of total expenditure as a capital allowance.
Most people operating SA are doing it with properties in the C3 residential category The class will be C1 if the property usage is closer to a guest house with varied people arriving at different times and significantly more parking and rubbish.
BEST MOMENTS ‘There are always grey areas’ ‘The appeal for people to use SA is because it’s a self-contained property’ ‘Where there are a number of SA units in a town there still won’t be enough’ ‘SA operators are going to become very attractive’ ‘if you are assessed for business rates you may qualify for business rates relief’ ‘In any town or city, there is always a demand for good quality accommodation.’ ‘If there are hotels in the city centre then it is an indicator that there is a demand for accommodation’

| Mentee Call With Nuno | 07 Jan 2019 | 00:36:33 | |
In this episode we have an amazing opportunity to gain an insight of the mentoring process in action. Kevin takes us through a mentoring session addressing how to start in SA as someone completely new. He uses his own knowledge and experience to provide a clear pathway into SA when renting from letting agents. An unmissable episode which demonstrates clearly the value of a skilled mentor. KEY TAKEAWAYS
Acquiring properties from letting agents is about properties that are good to go, you can be in a position to move clients in very quickly.
Buy a property involving deposit conveyancing, completing the refurbishment process then re financing to buy to let or an HMO. Lots of time and money involved in the traditional model.
As someone new to SA it’s important to undertake steps to establish credibility and social proof. Research – talk to hospitals, universities large companies in your area, speak to the person who deals with booking accommodation for visiting guests, employees, clients. If you can get someone definitely interested you’ve got social proof that there is demand. Make a website in advance of getting first units showing the type of rooms you are providing. Try to hook up with other SA providers in the area Air bnb easiest way to connect – if you’ve got client interest, they could take business until you have units.
Will the landlord do a company let? Initial question should always be will the landlord do a company let? – the letting agent will understand this and ask what are you going to use the property for. Use your social proof when talking to the letting agent to help establish credibility and local knowledge
Letting agents will often think that they need this information as part of the right to rent checks. SA sits outside of the Housing Act and is a company let so there is no requirement a short-term tenancy agreement (which is for a minimum of 6 months)
It is best to use the letting agents, company let agreement, but it will require some amendments, the most common being it’s not for your employees but your clients.
Always be honest about sourcing corporate clients through booking.com and Airbnb name drop clients who have already used these sites – its social proof most companies are interested in cutting costs through the use of SA and use booking.com and Air bnb to facilitate this.

This episode is a fantastic presentation by Ray McLennan about how to raise finance. He provides an invaluable insight into the way lending is organised and most importantly how you can find the funding for your project. This podcast is a must for anyone in who is a serviced accommodation entrepreneur.
KEY TAKE AWAYS
1 Getting funding 2 Finding a surveyor who understands 3 Refinancing
If you can’t get it funded and its under-valued, then it’s a vicious circle and a lenders default position will be no if they don’t understand it.
Find valuers that understand Knowing what’s important to a lender or a JD partner is crucial Knowing what you want to do
But anything worth having is hard work. Like anything there’s an easier way and a hard way.
Banks, brokers who don’t know serviced accommodation valuers who don’t understand serviced accommodation
Get a valuation Talk to a broker who knows serviced accommodation Have an exit
There are individuals and organisations who want to lend you the money and Angel Finance will facilitate that for you in the best way possible
Funding stack – when you haven’t got any money, different interest rates for different parts of the funding will be applicable as you will be dealing with different lenders.
People with pensions could seek its transfer value and its possible to get together with others to raise finance in this way.
BEST MOMENTS
“They want to lend you the money and for you to do the work and they’ll charge you for the privilege”

| Guest Access and Reviews: What’s the best method and approach? | 10 Dec 2018 | 00:23:52 | |
Welcome back to another episode of Serviced Accommodation with your host Kevin Poneskis. In this week’s episode, Kevin talks through the different options for guest access and guest reviews. Kevin talks through everything from why meet and greet can be a really effective way for guest access to how to respond effectively to bad reviews? Key Takeaways Logistics: How do your guests gain access to the property? With all these options below make sure you are giving your guests clear directions, and instructions for each option.
Why meet and greet could be really effective for you? Meet and greet is where someone physically meets your guests at the property. There is no right or wrong way for guest access but this can be a really effective way of gaining access for your guests. Kevin outlined that for his properties he pays a meet and greet person £15 so there is that cost to this but many advantages as well. One of the key elements for creating an effective meet and greet process is creating clear instructions and checklists for the person to go through. It is also essential at this point to have a clear check-in time, usually before 9am, and then charging for a late check-in. Make sure you source the meet and greet staff from the local area so they live close to the property. Advantages of the Meet and Greet method.
How To Deal With Bad Reviews. Guests are a lot less likely to leave bad reviews when they meet someone in person. Make sure you respond to all of your reviews both good and bad. Make sure you don’t sound aggressive and defensive in your response as this can put off future potential customers. A response to a bad review should repeat any positives the customer mentions, acknowledge any concerns and thank the guest for the feedback. Kevin reads through some good and bad example responses. Best Moments ‘Good reviews make you money, bad reviews lose you money.’ ‘Meet and greet gives you a more personal service.’ ‘Make sure you ask your guests to leave a review.’ ‘Make sure you respond to all your reviews good or bad.’ ‘Your meet and greet person can check any cleaning or maintenance before the guests arrive.’ ‘You’re not going to be able to please everyone, all of the time.’

| LIVE Q& A With Co-founder of Progressive Property, Best-Selling Author & Property Investing Expert, Mark Homer | 26 Nov 2018 | 00:31:00 | |
Welcome back to The Serviced Accommodation Podcast. In this special episode, Kevin interviews Co-founder of Progressive Property, best-selling author and property investing expert, Mark Homer. Kevin and Mark discuss the advantages of serviced accommodation and why it’s one of the most popular property strategies right now! Plus hear their take on Brexit and personal development. KEY TAKEAWAYS What changes to serviced accommodation (SA) regulations will we see in the future? There have been several recent changes to regulations of the HMO and SA property sector and there is likely to be more. After new innovations occur, we can expect a time lag in the introduction of associated regulations, but by five years’ time, there will be effective implementation of these new regulations. It’s therefore worth ensuring that you are in line with these regulations like fire safety, and room sizes. How will Brexit affect trends with serviced accommodation? No one knows exactly what is going to happen with Brexit but the uncertainty has already affected the market. When there is certainty again, ideally when Britain leaves in March, things should look more positive and there might be a sudden rush to invest. Brexit is important for the property sector, but it’s more important to the manufacturing and direct trading industries. Saturation of the serviced accommodation market? Someone, somewhere, always thinks that the market has become saturated. There might be quieter times in the summer but if your unit is better than the competition then the market takes care of itself. Even simple things like a lick of paint or lowering the rent can be effective methods to fill units in a quieter season. How do I scale up my property business? Focusing on one geographic area can have real positives for growth. With that kind of focus, you’re able to get to know your local agents and landlords better, and your staff don’t have to travel as far between properties. This is much more effective than a more scattergun approach, leaving you to knowing a lot less than your competition. How best to work with high net individuals. Often these individuals don’t want to and don’t have the local knowledge to run these businesses operationally. Doing stage work, improving your online presence, attending networking and auctions can be really effective ways of increasing your profile. Once you’ve done these kind of things over a couple of years high-net-worth individuals tend to find you. Next best thing? VR (Virtual reality) is probably the next growth area especially helping consumers choose which unit to rent. In addition, Blockchain has some interesting applications to automating arduous processes, such as making the land registry process to make it quicker and easier. Personal Development. Both informal and formal mentoring can be incredibly effective personal development tools. Finding your peer group, other people doing similar things to you, can be a great way to share ideas and learn from each other. BEST MOMENTS ‘Brexit is important but maybe more important for manufacturing or people directly trading’ ‘You can save a lot more time and make a lot more money when you focus on one area’ ‘What does your SA look like? How good is it? Whats its location? Matters more than Brexit.’ ‘Take out all those non-incoming generation parts of your day.’ ABOUT THE HOST Your host Kevin Poneskis enjoys public speaking, travelling, exercising and keeping fit.

| Section 24 The Anti-Landlord Tax Explained | 29 Oct 2018 | 00:13:46 | |
In today’s episode of The Serviced Accommodation Podcast, Kevin covers Section 24, the anti-landlord tax. Kevin goes on to share real-life examples of how Section 24 can affect you, your property portfolio and your mortgage interest rate relief. Landlords have effectively had the rug pulled from beneath them and will no longer be able to offset their mortgage interest payment against their rental income, before calculating the tax due. But here’s the good news, Section 24 does not affect Serviced Accommodation and there’s still time to convert your buy-to-lets into Serviced Accommodation units and continue to offset your finance against your income. Tune in today to hear how. Look out for another episode of the Serviced Accommodation Podcast where Kevin will be discussing capital allowances and how it affects property investors. Find your host Kevin on Facebook ‘Property Soldier’ to suggest content for future episodes of The Service Accommodation Podcast. The mortgage interest rate relief reduction. The amount of mortgage interest an HMO or buy-to-let landlord an investor is able to offset against their rent is being reduced. KEY TAKEAWAYS
BEST MOMENTS “There’s no perfect solution to avoiding Section 24.” “Some landlords are selling up their portfolio or simply increase their rents to absorb the additional costs.” “The percentage of landlords affected will increase year on year and we will see an increasing impact of Section 24.” “Section 24 is being phased in over four years. It started in 2016 and will be fully implemented by 2021” VALUABLE RESOURCES Mortgage Interest Relief Reduction Calculator Buy-to-let calculator (DailyTelegraph) ABOUT THE HOST Your host Kevin Poneskis enjoys public speaking, travelling, exercising and keeping fit.

ABOUT THE GUEST Alan is a former Royal Navy Engineer Officer who now works as a Maritime Design Consultant whilst simultaneously running a successful SA property business in Bath, UK.
Alan began his property journey some 30+ years ago renting his own home to Royal Navy colleagues whilst he was away at sea. This was followed by a journey through student accommodation in Plymouth and standard buy-to-lets. Upon leaving the Navy he became a partner in a start-up property development company in Liverpool, which garnered him an appearance on TV’s Homes Under the Hammer.
By his own admission, he has probably made just about every mistake in the property investor handbook, including treating it as a hobby, buying off-plan, and buying in a foreign country...twice! Undeterred he happened upon a Progressive Property MSOPI event some 4 years ago and was intrigued by Serviced Accommodation. Fed up with the anti-landlord taxation rules that were becoming ever more onerous and spurred on by his latest dealings with troublesome tenants, he embarked on SA training believing the model would work well in his new hometown of Bath.
Along with his business partners - his wife Sarah, and another couple - he has been running the SA business in Bath for three and a half years now and has 4 properties in Bath and one in Cornwall, all owner financed. Alan tells of how despite the current COVID restrictions and the impacts of the global pandemic the business is performing stronger than ever, with current demand exceeding all expectations. Staycations have replaced international tourism, and this doesn’t look likely to slow down any time soon.
