Offers in excess of.......NO!!!!!!

Tuesday, September 24, 2024 • Duration 20:27

It's amazing what a funny tweet makes you do.

The one by Rugby writer Paul Williams about what it's like to try and buy a house was hilarious and we HAD to talk about it. Just how much does Simmo hate his peers using the phrase " offers in excess of..."?

Turns out it's a lot.

If it grinds your gears too, listen in and find out you've got far more in common with this property professional than you thought possible!

After causing a stir with This Morning's Home Genie Georgina Burnett, self builder Alan Bonar-Drake serves up the latest audio diary on his project behind The White Hart in Grafton Regis. Find out precisely where his build is at.

Selling Somerset certainly isn't for the faint hearted. Or celibate! Simmo's up to his knees in it again!!

We're also going to give you a measured assessment of shared ownership.

Is it is bad as it's been painted in the media over the last couple of weeks?

There's only one way to find out.

Downsizing for the ££s

Sunday, August 25, 2024 • Duration 29:58

Older homeowners are doing it, but are they doing it as well as they could?

Downsizing - it can be an emotional and sensitive time and if you're going to have a property journalist run the rule over this story, you have to get the best - Marc Shoffman.

Rent rises are cooling, according to Zoopla in a BBC report and so Simmo offers a wise summary and what it means for landlords and the housing market in general.

Charlie Lamdin is on the verge of launching the BestAgent Public House Price Index - Charlie explains how it works and why it's an important move for the sector and don't forget 4th Sep is BestAgent Day.

Selling Somerset does its thing once again and this time, Simmo gets all serious.

Throw in Alan working some ladder based magic with his self build update and you have the leading property podcast.

ITV's This Morning - Georgina Burnett

Saturday, December 9, 2023 • Duration 41:52

Great interiors come naturally to Georgina as you'll hear from our chat. What a pleasure it is to have such a talented and well known guest; our Xmas wish has come true!

What is good taste when it comes to decorating a room and should you stop at one? This Morning's very own Home Genie has some unmissable pointers and a great track record when it comes to upcycling.

Amongst our other essential talking points :

Government intervention in the housing market - should there be less, more or none at all? Charlie Lamdin tells us what he thinks in no uncertain terms.
Chef and first time self builder Alan Bonar-Drake brings us another snappy audio diary of how their home is progressing.
Which property portal is a "protection racket" according to Russell Quirk and does Simmo agree?

and

Does the "Boxing Day Bounce" actually work, or is it about as good as a brussel sprout and advocaat puree?

The Motorhome, a house rat and some truffle oil

Saturday, November 4, 2023 • Duration 44:23

No, we haven't gone completely mad - those three do have something in common!

Saying goodbye to bricks and mortar is something Rebecca Hanlon, her husband Andrew, their dogs and domesticated rat are accustomed to.

Find out which vehicle they chose, what's being done to it and how they're going off at the deep end when it comes to #vanlife.

Now even if you've got only a passing interest in the property market, you're probably aware that OnTheMarket has been sold for an eye watering sum.

Have they got their act together if they want to topple RightMove?

Simmo thinks not and tells all.

You'll also get the up to date news on Alan's self build in Northamptonshire and we pay homage to the Guild of Property Professionals!

It's the Off Grid special !

Wednesday, October 11, 2023 • Duration 36:44

He's OffGridPath on Tik Tok and Youtube and to us, he's Benn Berkeley and has converted a static caravan in a field so he can realise his long held off grid dream.

Benn's even brought out a book that helps to make UK planning law more accessible. He has some really interesting things to say around his building self education and why this way of life appeals to him and his girlfriend.

Whoever would have thought that Charlie Lamdin has some off grid experience? This episode's Charlie Says is full of revelation and intrigue!

Remember how we looked at self build in the previous ep? Well we've got an update from Alan and some wise words about Facebook Marketplace.

Plus - a unique discount code for the Motorhome and Caravan Show later this month at the NEC in Birmingham.

Listen very closely and nab it!

The Self Build Dream

Thursday, September 21, 2023 • Duration 31:16

Owner and chef at The White Hart in Grafton Regis ( Northants ), Alan Bonar-Drake set his sights on building his own home and now, after long and drawn out planning tussles, work has started.

We're covering the build at every step and as the builders worked on the footings, we had a chat in their pub garden ( nice work if you can get it! )

Stay with us for all the updates on self build - they're really useful, especially if you've got the desire to build your own place.

Also

The media and the property market; do they like a party pooper story a bit TOO much?

Simmo picks over how the housing market is depicted in the press and property journalist, the excellent Marc Shoffman gives us his take.

Charlie Says isn't short of an opinion or two when it comes to the media and housing, so we've let him rip!

Ah yes and there's one more thing to listen out for - what Zoopla is saying about sales trends.

( I say one more thing, but who can forget the chippy and the floor for all the wrong reasons! )

The house move done properly

Wednesday, July 12, 2023 • Duration 40:48

We actually surprised ourselves. Why hadn't we done this before now? A smooth move from one home to the next takes a lot more than you'd think and so it's about time we talked about removals.

Richard Batten is MD of Move On Removals and Storage and talks you through just how to get moving house spot on. Do his staff have superhuman powers of spatial awareness and are they all Pilates devotees? Have a listen and the answers will all be here.

Meanwhile, Charlie Lamdin has become increasingly frustrated by estate agents pulling a price from thin air just to try and win business. Charlie has his say on valuations and as you'd expect, it's audio dynamite!

Unequivocal opinions always play well on The Right Move? podcast and Simmo tells it like it is about the Mayor of Bristol and the news story about rents in the city. Let's just say Marvin won't be best pleased.

We're also going to treat you to something BRAND NEW!!

Star Spotting keeps tabs on the great and good of the property industry and relays where these bricks and mortar celebs have been seen schmoozing.

Alex Tan for Vice President, mortgage offers being pulled and is Harry Styles buying the saddest Grand Designs House?

So what's all this about a certain H Styles and Chesil Cliff House? We check back in with the brilliant Nic Chbat to see if the rumours are true.

Now and again, the property market delivers some truly unexpected and sad news - we'll let you in on what's happening to the Singing Estate Agent.

RICS - The Residential Market Survey & 100% mortagages; should you go near them?

Season 1 · Episode 17

Thursday, May 25, 2023 • Duration 33:23

It's trusted at the highest levels. The Bank of England, Government and a vast range of institutions lean on some of the widely acknowledged credibility it has garnered.

It's the RICS Residential Market Survey, which is published every month and is undoubtedly the most reliable and significant picture of what's happening with house prices and market habits.

How pleased are we then that their Chief Economist Simon Rubinsohn is with us to explain how it does what it does and why key decisions rest upon the accuracy of the survey?

Very.

100% mortgages. Where do you stand on them? Simmo knows what he thinks and so does Charlie Lamdin. Pick up their wisdom in this incredibly useful episode.

There's also a delve into Simmo's contribution to This Is Money and the Strike / Purplebricks deal going through.

Did somebody say "insolvent"?

Do NOT use online conveyancers !

Season 1 · Episode 16

Wednesday, April 26, 2023 • Duration 40:18

Pretty please!!

If you take away only one thing from this episode, make sure it's that. Simmo is adamant that you give the "factory conveyancers" a wide berth.

Use them and it will be a whole world of hurt.

Take the advice from a RICS associate member and walk away.

Speaking of RICS - Charlie Lamdin calls their UK Residential Market Survey his favourite indices and backs this up by a Charlie Says that goes into the key reasons this is the most important regular examination of house buying and selling.

Our guest is the fantastically knowledgeable Claire Russell Lartaud of Taylor Rose and Domus Homes - she's qualified to practice property law both here in the UK and Australia. Her opinions and anecdotes just ooze common sense and professionalism. Claire's well worth a listen. Just don't ask her about renovation!

Simmo and JP also report on the ridiculous news that online estate agency Strike ( already in eye watering debt ) are still looking to acquire the equally ailing Purplebricks. Sheer madness.
