For anyone looking to break into property investment or scale their portfolio, the latest episode of This Week in Property is a goldmine of insight. 

Host Richard sits down with Charles Whitehead, the driving force behind Pearl Lemon Properties, to discuss the evolving landscape of property investment—and why the right strategy can make all the difference.

From Personal Struggles to Professional Success

Charles’s journey into property investment started like many others—as a busy professional struggling to find the right properties and reliable advice. 

What began as a personal mission to simplify the investment process has since grown into Pearl Lemon Properties, a premium sourcing company known for its hands-on approach and transparent service. 

Whether it’s buy-to-let, HMOs, refurbishments, or even international investments, Charles and his team guide clients every step of the way.

Beyond the Buzzwords: Real Investment Strategies That Work

The podcast dives into some of the myths surrounding property investment—like the obsession with "below market value" deals. As Charles explains, a true investment isn’t just about the price tag—it’s about long-term value, sustainability, and fitting the right property to the investor’s personal goals. 

From helping first-time investors get their foot on the ladder to building high-yield portfolios for seasoned buyers, Pearl Lemon’s approach is refreshingly honest and results-driven.

Harnessing Data and Technology

One of the standout takeaways from the conversation is how Pearl Lemon Properties leverages technology to drive smarter investment decisions. 

From analysing crime rates to predicting rental yields and understanding tenant demographics, Charles highlights how data-driven insights give investors an undeniable edge.

Tailored Support from Start to Finish

What truly sets Pearl Lemon Properties apart is its bespoke service. The company doesn’t just hand over property leads—they start with a discovery call, understand each client’s short- and long-term goals, and tailor investment strategies accordingly. 

As Charles puts it, “There’s no perfect deal—there’s a great deal for you, and that’s what we focus on.”

Whether you're curious about HMOs, considering flipping properties, or even eyeing international investments in Italy, Spain or the States, this episode is packed with practical advice and real-world examples. 

Charles's candid insights into market trends, investment pitfalls, and the future of UK property make it clear why Pearl Lemon Properties has earned its stellar reputation...

Are you a landlord, tenant, or someone intrigued by the ever-changing property world? Then the latest episode of This Week in Property is for you. Riccardo Giovanacci, the managing director of Rosevale Letting, joins Richard for an insightful discussion that blends personal stories, industry wisdom, and practical advice.

 

From Humble Beginnings to Lettings Expert

 

Riccardo’s journey started in Greenock, a town just outside Glasgow, where he learned the ropes of property from family influences and early work experiences. His rise to success wasn’t an overnight story but one built on hard work, learning from mentors, and embracing opportunities. In his words, adaptability and a willingness to seize the moment were the keys to building his business.

 

Navigating a Changing Lettings Market

 

Riccardo delves into the challenges and opportunities of Scotland’s property market, particularly with ever-evolving legislation. He sheds light on the Private Residential Tenancy (PRT) system and explains how Rosevale Letting adapted quickly to ensure compliance. While many landlords viewed regulatory changes as hurdles, Riccardo and his team saw them as a chance to stand out, offering landlords a seamless service while protecting tenants.

 

Why Landlords Need Great Letting Agents

 

One of the podcast’s highlights is Riccardo’s perspective on the value letting agents bring to landlords. He stresses that managing a property is far more than collecting rent — it’s about compliance, tenant relationships, and market expertise. With ever-tightening regulations, he explains how letting agents save landlords time, stress, and costly mistakes.

 

The Rosevale Difference

 

What makes Rosevale Letting stand out? According to Riccardo, it’s their tailored approach to clients. Whether working with accidental landlords managing a single property or investors with extensive portfolios, Rosevale prioritises trust, communication, and customised solutions. Riccardo emphasises the importance of harmony — not just within his team but also in the relationships they foster with landlords and tenants.

 

Leadership That Inspires

 

Riccardo’s leadership style is rooted in authenticity and relationships. Throughout the episode, he shares his thoughts on building a supportive team, balancing work with family life, and staying true to core values. For him, success isn’t just about profits — it’s about fostering trust and delivering on promises.

• Landlords looking to understand the value of professional letting agents.

Are we handing over too much power to machines and robots with all the latest and greatest apps and AI tools?

 

What if someone could ensure the changes and developments we make, have the person, the human, very much centre of focus?

 

What if the resident or tenant was thought of first, before any technical changes?

 

What if the client or property owner or facility manager was put ahead of any app or flashy interface?

 

What if the engineer or repair man or service provider was considered before any AI entity?

 

That's exactly the approach that askporter has taken.

 

That's why askporter has been able to help L&G's Affordable Homes tenants to fix 30% of their housing issues by themselves.

 

That's how askporter has been able to help solve the headaches that contractors and engineers usually face, by being able to successfully automatically diagnose 97% of issues raised.

 

Forget about computers and efficiencies, what actually makes people's lives easier?

 

It's a tenant having instant answers and information about an issue anytime, day or night, and not having to wait on a call centre opening or an enquiry eventually being answered.

 

It's a property/portfolio owner being able to focus on the bigger and most important ways they can improve their properties and lives, without being distracted and bogged down by low-level issues and noise.

 

It's the residents and the managers of social housing estates being able to have instant communication, have problems solved, and have daily lives improved.

 

People want to be heard and understood.

 

Today's guest, Clara McKibbin, Head of Customer Experience at askporter, has been fully focused on the experience, the journey, and the communication that the human people involved in property really yearn for.

 

Designed with the people in mind.

 

Observed and improved for making resident's lives better and with less friction points.

 

Working and collaborating with owners, managers and contractors to make the individual human experiences to be properly listened to and acted upon.

 

Looking for pain points to be removed? For problems to be solved? Then askClara at askporter...

I've not really got time for property?

 

Have you heard that before?

 

Have you maybe even said it yourself before?

 

Well today's guest in the Property Pros Spotlight is going to put those excuses to shame.

 

Because once you've heard Steven McKaveney's life and business journey to date, you'll be forgiven for thinking that we've interviewed five guests instead of just one!

 

A nomad of action, making things happen.

 

Life, family and work experiences all across the UK and abroad.

 

Refurbs, flips, Rent-to-SA, buy-to-lets, conversions, land deals...the list goes on and on.

 

Did we mention the industry-disrupting AI software service that he's built and patented "on the side"?

 

Yeah, you won't be able to accuse Steven of being lazy or procrastinating.

 

His journey and mindset will inspire and encourage you with your own goals.

 

So has it all been sunshine and unicorns for him?

 

Absolutely not!

 

Steven is a completely open book about sharing all of the priceless lessons and challenges he's faced throughout his journey.

 

And he's humble and keen to share them with others, to light the way for your own goals and success.

Are there 2 words other than "Capital Allowances" that sound more mysterious and complex to property investors?

 

If there are, we'd like to hear them!

 

Too difficult to understand, too complex to navigate, and too advanced to waste time investigating.

 

That's a common reaction to property owners and investors.

 

But if they could be shown the huge amounts of cash that they're leaving on the table?

 

That would change things!

 

Losing out on a ton of money is a much simpler concept to understand.

 

And wanting to do something about that lost money is what a wise investor would do.

 

But that then leads to more questions unravelling...

 

What situations can I claim these allowances?

 

How far back can I claim?

 

What exactly is my Annual Investment Allowance?

 

Those are some of the usually bewildering questions that can be asked.

 

But there's a better set of questions to ask...

 

What experts out there could actually do all the heavy lifting for me?

 

Who would be able to quickly know if I have a case to claim back much needed money?

 

Who would have the experience and knowledge to compile the case to actually get that money?

 

And that's where today's guest comes in!

 

Mark Anthistle, from Bonham & Brook, has compiled more than 1,000 successful valuations, resulting in the identification over £300Million of unclaimed capital allowances, and securing over £60Million in tax relief for clients!

 

That's who your new pal should be.

 

The expert to have in your corner.

 

Listen in to today's show and hear all of the different ways that Mark and his team can possibly help you with reclaiming all of that lost money...

There are some words that strike fear in the hearts of property investors. 'Tax' and 'Stamp Duty' are up there with the most terrifying.

 

And in that world are abbreviations that not only add to the terror but also demonstrate the minefield of complexity that investors have to try and tip-toe their way through safely: SDLT, LBTT, and LTT.

 

But for every horror there is a haven. And words like 'tax relief' and 'exemptions' help to soothe and comfort.

 

And for every monster there are heroes to save the day.

 

He might not have been wearing his cape during our chat today, but Kishan Kavi, the Head of Property Taxes and Head of Tax Investigations at Bonham and Brook, is very much that hero that can help you.

 

With a highly impressive background in Law, Litigation and Tax, Kishan and has team have been responsible for tax savings running into the multi millions of pounds and growing.

 

Stamp Duty is a 'self assessment' tax that the buyer is responsible for.

 

But you don't have to tread through that minefield alone.

 

While your solicitor is staying in their lane and handling the conveyancing part of your purchases, you should have people like Kishan on your side to review and advise on the costly tax elements for you.

 

And with 51 different reliefs and exemptions available, Kishan has a host of weapons available to fight off the tax monsters for you.

 

During the show we touch upon just a few of the reliefs and possible scenarios for savings. You'll hear from Kishan's chat that he has an encyclopedic knowledge of rules and regulations and case law aimed at helping you in your individual scenarios.

 

Use the links below to reach out to Kishan and his teams at Bonham & Brook to see how they can help you.

 

They can initially review your situation for free.

 

And there's other links to their Stamp Duty Reliefs Guide and Kishan's recent article on Stamp Duty Exemptions...

If a story had a character that was a young man born in Germany, and another young man born in Scotland and living a lot of his life out to sea, it would be a hard task for the author to somehow bring them together in the story.

 

If you then factor into that storyline a random scenario of the two men standing beside each other in a large group photo, but never having spoken a word to each other, then the story seems to get more unbelievable.

 

And if you tried to suggest that they would end up both being surprised that they unknowingly now just happen to live close to each other...well, that sounds like Hollywood has stretched the story creativity just a bit too far!

 

And yet, that's exactly how it's all panned out with this great story of two young men forming a successful business partnership together in the world of property.

 

Our guests today, Thorben Dorer and Greg White, have both formed a thriving partnership that is already paying dividends for them and their clients, in a very short timeframe.

 

The element of the father figures in the famous "Rich Dad Poor Dad" story is also weaved into this particular journey, as you'll hear in the show.

 

You'll also hear the successes, the challenges, the projects, the profits, the services, and the rewards that have come to Thor and Greg as their impressive work ethic has pushed them on from milestone to milestone...

Having the courage and determination to build a successful business that can positively impact your life and the lives of the family around you is a noble and worthwhile journey to go on.

 

But what if you could actually build that business WITH your family?

 

What if you're a father and son team that can come together and form a solid partnership that can bring different skills and experiences together as the very fuel to spark and drive that business?

 

Today's guests under the Property Pros Spotlight on This Week In Property, have done exactly that!

 

Jack and Mark Anderson have come from very different career backgrounds and skillsets, but have a shared vision and an agreed way of handling themselves that has propelled their success in a crazy short amount of time.

 

The character, integrity and trust that they exude in their business and personal actions has seen a host of other people, other investors, and other connections flock to work with them.

 

A shared family tragedy, which they bravely speak about on the show, has bonded these two men together in a very solid fashion.

 

Totally different employment backgrounds and experiences has given the Andersons a wealth of skills and talents that they have combined to powerful effect.

 

Whether it's property projects for themselves, deals for investors, managing refurb projects, or sourcing and investing in both Scotland and England, this father-son combo have came flying out of the gates after completing training in property investing, and don't look to be slowing down any time soon...

Just save every penny and cut back on your costs!

We can't afford that!

All debt is bad!

 

What if we've been lied to?

 

What if the bankers running the show and the politicians making the rules, have all had us running around in the rat race of work and money, using stories that are nothing but illusions?

 

What if there's another way to look at this whole game of money?

 

Did you hear about the Financial Advisor who became the Anti Financial Advisor?

 

Well, you will today. With our guest, Chris Miles, the cashflow and passive income expert who specialises in teaching entrepreneurs, professionals, and individuals how to create lifelong wealth, even in uncertain economies.

 

You think you've got debt?

What about $1million worth of debt?

 

Because Chris had that level of debt. And you'll hear him explain how debt is neither good nor bad. How there's a different way to look at things.

 

And how he even managed to capitalise on all that debt after the last recession without filing for bankruptcy.

 

Giving value and solving problems.

 

Those can be two of the keys to getting rid of the 'desperation' you might have around money, and generating a positive 'feeling' of how easy the game can be.

 

It's something that Chris has seen, from a life-changing moment with his own dad, to the many clients he's helped ever since. Hear him tell the story in today's show.

 

The Cashflow Index.

 

That's another golden nugget you'll hear from Chris' insights today.

 

You've heard about ROI, and cash-on-cash return, and many other equations.

 

But this special 'index' will have you look at your money matters in a totally unique way.

 

Money Ripples.

 

That's his very own podcast that he's been running for over 10 years now.

 

As well as a host of experiences and appearances that have seen him featured in US News, CNN Money, Entrepreneurs on Fire, Bigger Pockets, and many more.

 

Money Ripples gets his clients fast financial results. In fact, his personal clients have increased their cashflow by almost $300 Million in the last 12 years!

 

Being your own steward.

 

So listen in to today's show with Chris Miles.

 

Hear about Chris' property investment experience, his thoughts on the stock market, and his forecasts for the economy.

 

And not only appreciate all of his insights and wisdoms, but then take the actions in your own life, in your own game, and become the Steward of your own money and wealth.

 

All in today's show on This Week In Property...

Mention the thought of cutting costs, enhancing operations, and improving sustainability to any Facilities Manager, and they'll have your attention but might be a bit cautious about what can actually be delivered.

 

That's where today's guest, Shane Brady the COO of SmartWorkPlus, can step in and dazzle them with the impressive trio of hardware, software and reporting that comes with the SmartWorkPlus system.

 

Hardware that is not only easy on the eye inside any property, not only safely secured on its own reliable network that doesn't impact the property's own networks, but also has an array of sensors that can magically collect data on occupancy, heat, light, and humidity levels.

 

And when that data is fed into the impressively visual, and very easy to read, software part of SmartWorkPlus, a building owner or facilities manager has priceless data at their fingertips.

 

Data presented in such a way that can immediately show where savings can be made on energy and occupied areas, where the most efficient cleaning attention can be targetted by janitorial staff, and where the most comfortable and eco-friendly settings can be made for the building's residents to enjoy.

 

A marriage of tech and management, where everybody wins. And where properties can be run in the most efficient, sustainable and cost-effective way possible...

In today's show, we sit down with Tom Dylan, a full-time property investor based in Manchester.

 

We have a great and wide-ranging conversation, covering all manner of topics in and around property, business and life.

 

A successful property investor in his own right, Tom also set up the Cuppa Property Networking & Investing Group, which meets in person and online on a weekly basis.

 

And Tom is also a fellow podcaster, with the Cuppa Coffee Property Podcast.

 

Listen to Tom's thoughts, opinions and experiences on: building his portfolio in Manchester and other areas; the amount of legislation seeping into the property world; predictions for market and returns in the future; the eternal supply and demand issue of UK property; and the merits and risks of single-units, HMOs and apartments...

Take everything you think you know about property auctions - too urgent and unpredictable for the buyer, too much money lost for the seller, too much hassle for an estate agent - and throw it out of the window.

 

Today's guest, Jamie Cooke, one of the Co-Founders of iamproperty, explains how things can, and are, very different.

 

The UK's largest residential auction provider, now working with over 6,000 estate agencies, and pioneering the Modern Method of Auction, iamproperty has an ecosystem of services that can help solve so many problems for people.

 

Take the slow and unpredictable world of Private Treaty, and replace it with speed and security.

 

Take the urgency and fear of an auction window to get your buyer finance in place, and replace it with a measured and achievable breathing space.

 

Take the agent's hassle of trying to involve an auction house, and replace it with a pleasant and easy relationship.

 

Take iamproperty...

In today's show we turn on the big spotlight again - the Property Pros Spotlight!  Where we bring someone into the studio and hear the story of their property journey.  Where they've came from, what they've done, chat about their deals, and learn what kind of business they have grown.

And today's guest, David Liddell, is the perfect example of what is possible in the world of property.

Known for his dynamic approach to property, David is a seasoned investor and developer with a background in engineering who has found remarkable success by harnessing his analytic skills, adapting his approach, and embracing risk. In this inspiring interview, David shares the journey that led him to property investment and the lessons he’s gathered along the way.

David’s career began in offshore engineering, a field he initially pursued for financial stability but found lacking in fulfillment. After a near move to Australia that fell through during the pandemic, David redirected his career, using capital from a former property sale to dive into property investment. 

A key takeaway from the conversation is David’s transition from over-analysing deals, a habit from his engineering days, to a more balanced approach that combines thoughtful diligence with decisive action. This change, as he explains, was instrumental in allowing him to expand his portfolio and take on larger, more complex projects.

The conversation also touches on David’s strategic shift into service accommodation, which has allowed him to establish a profitable, scalable business model. David shares the challenges and rewards of this niche, particularly in the Scottish market, where demand for short-term accommodations offers attractive returns. 

For David, service accommodation isn’t just about property; it’s about creating memorable experiences for guests and supporting the local community through job creation and collaboration with nearby businesses.

As Richard and David discuss David’s current ventures, including several large-scale commercial conversions, it becomes clear that his journey is far from over. With ambitious plans for growth and a clear focus on hospitality, David is poised to reshape his business and further refine his investment strategies. His plans to take these projects international, alongside his personal goal to balance family life with business, make for an inspiring vision of the future.

Listeners interested in property investment, service accommodation, or simply looking for a story of ambition and grit won’t want to miss this episode. 

David’s passion and wisdom make for an enlightening and motivational listen, offering valuable insights for both seasoned investors and newcomers alike. 

Tune in to hear the full interview and follow David’s exciting journey as he continues to push the boundaries in property investment...

Everyone in property today knows about the buzz and the hype of the Furnished Holiday Let / Serviced Accommodation sector.

What if you were a traditional buy-to-let landlord, who bought a coastal property just to improve its condition, and then decided through the process to give this holiday market stuff a go?

 

And what if that 1 accidental property then led you to buildling an empire with over 300 employees, with over 750 properties under management, and a projected revenue of £30m in 2023?!

In today's episode of This Week in Property, Richard had an insightful conversation with Lesley Treacey, Head of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) at Dandara. 

The interview provides an in-depth look at the importance of sustainability in the property development sector, with Lesley sharing her extensive experience and unique perspective on how the industry is evolving.

Lesley discusses the growing focus on ESG, highlighting how issues like biodiversity, energy efficiency, and sustainable building practices are becoming central to modern construction. 

Lesley explains the key drivers behind this shift, from regulatory changes to rising consumer awareness and grassroots movements. With sustainability no longer a niche concern, it has become a top priority for developers, investors, and governments alike.

One of the key topics covered is Dandara’s ongoing work to implement the Future Homes Standard and achieve net-zero carbon homes by 2050. 

Lesley touches on how this ambitious target is reshaping the way homes are designed, from using renewable technologies like air source heat pumps to improving the energy efficiency of materials and building processes. 

However, Lesley also notes the challenges posed by this transition and how collaboration with suppliers and the broader industry is crucial for success.

For listeners interested in the future of property development and how companies like Dandara are addressing the pressing issues of sustainability, this interview offers valuable insights. 

Lesley’s passion and expertise shine through, making this a must-listen episode for anyone keen to understand the challenges and opportunities in building a greener, more sustainable future.

We can invest in property, we can run businesses, and we can manage teams. But if WE are not personally on point - healthy, fit, relaxed, rested, and energetic - then none of it will matter and all of it will suffer.

David is a second-generation developer whose business has exploded since lockdown due to the proprietary site-finding system he's developed.

 

He has sold this system to over 40 developers around London who are now bringing him sites and joint venturing with him, which has led to 6-7 development sites in his pipeline with a GDV of £75m that are at various stages of legals and planning.

There are many investors, business owners, or high-net-worth individuals who know that property is a fantastic investment vehicle. But there are also a large amount of them that don't have the knowledge or the time to find the opportunities themselves, and don't even know that there are actually professionals who specialise in sourcing such opportunities for those investors.

There's a lot of things said about working as a team. "Team work makes the dream work" - heard that one. "A team that works together grows together" - heard that one too.

But with today’s multiple guests from The Alderman Group, the main theme that seemed to have been said over and over again was about “having great fun together!”

Business with pleasure? Is that even allowed? Find out in today’s show…

Damon Harrison, Hal Halil, and Darren Mould have brought their own considerable experience and skills as individuals, and combined them into a fantastic team that is racing ahead and building success in the world of property at an alarming rate.

You've bought an investment property, or you're planning to?

Ok. Quick question...

Have you bought a house, a home, a property, or an asset?

All just words of course.

But the one you choose will say a lot about your mindset as an investor.

If you chose any of the 1st three words, then you maybe have a hobby. Or an interest. Or a side hustle.

If you chose 'asset', then you might just be an actual INVESTOR.

Serious. Professional. Focused.

And if you are indeed an investor, buying assets, growing portfolios, generating revenue, and building a legacy for your nearest and dearest...then you better make sure you're PROTECTING them! All of them.

Insurance is a boring word; we're talking about several layers of PROTECTION here.

Simon Massey, from Express Mortgages, is a specialist with a wealth of experience.

There's not much that Simon hasn't seen with investors and investments.

Sadly, some of those have been sad tales of assets being lost, businesses not being structured properly, tax being overpaid, and families left with a LIABILITY rather than a LEGACY.

Let's have less of those sad tales please!

Let Simon help you. Help protect your assets. Help protect you. And help protect what you've built for your loved ones.

In today's chat, the conversation goes everywhere.

From the most obvious, like Buildings Insurance, to the more specialist and more obscure.

And to questions that you might not even have known to ask yourself.

Tune in to watch or listen to Simon's wisdom when it comes to protecting the things you've worked hard for, and the people that you're doing it all for...

There are some people in life that when they find success, they stop. They bring the shutters down. They feel they've reached an end point. The very clever ones never stop. Never stop learning, never stop growing. One such example is today's guest, Robert Macfarlane...

 

> Listen to Robert speak of the decades of experience he's already built up in business and in property investing...

 

> Hear Robert talk about the family role model he learned from, and how he knew working for himself and building his own business was always on the cards for him...

 

> Robert shares the milestone moment when the quality and reputation of his work led to a simple referral that then skyrocketed his property business even further...

 

> Listen to Robert discuss both sides of the fence of the landlord investor and the lettings agent, and how to find the right agent to manage your portfolio...

 

> Robert shares the stories of the different life moments where his awareness could see market changes coming, and how he has continued to never stop learning new strategies and tactics...

Keeping the consumer first in mind is something that has always been obvious and has been delivered by the likes of the tech wizards and creative types in the gaming and movie worlds, where their work is approved, accepted, and fanatically enjoyed by many millions of happy consumers.

In the property world, however, such devotion and focus on that end consumer has mostly been sadly lacking. The tenant. The resident. They often find themselves way down the list of priorities behind profits and planning designs.

But what if you could take those consumer-focused tech teams and get them to produce software that would benefit residents in new residential schemes in ways never before imagined?

That's where today's guest Jeremy Heath-Smith comes in. Former creator of the global sensation in the gaming and movie worlds - Tomb Raider - and now founder and CEO of Spike Global, the UK's leading resident engagement and property management software provider.

Jeremy shares the fascinating story of how the incredible transformation of Battersea Power Station brought him and his team into the world of property.

Jeremy gives a live demonstration during the show, of how Spike Global's software portal and messaging platform has transformed the engagement, integration, communication, and happiness and well-being enjoyed by the residents in that and other housing schemes in the UK.

See and hear about how developers can completely change their game when it comes to delivering for the end-customers: the landlords, the property managers, the residents, the tenants.

Listen to Jeremy talk about how his team's systems performed in ways they never imagined when the global pandemic swept across the landscape.

Efficiencies in building management, and control of logistics and operations within a scheme, yes. But more than that. Building and evolving thriving communities. Making people feel connected and supported. Enriching the lives of users and communities by creating better places to live and work...

In today's show, we chat with multi-award-winning professional business mentor Christine Nicholson.

 

Christine has been helping businesses in different sectors succeed for over 30 years. She has literally seen it all. And in 2021 she was named UK Business Mentor of the Year.

 

Christine speaks about the starting point of a business and the very crucial DOs and DON'Ts that an entrepreneur should focus on.

 

Then when it comes to what Christine likes to call "The Messy Middle" of a business' life, what are the actionable tips that we can use to increase the profits and value of the business, while working fewer hours and with less stress and anxiety.

 

And the part of the journey that few like to think about: the end. Christine talks of how 100% of business owners will in some way leave their business, so let's plan and prepare for that end. How, for example, can retiring business owners sell their companies for more money and on better terms so they can live the kind of retirement they dream of.

Today's show is packed with information, content, opinions, tips, swearing, and even some emotion!

 

That's because two friends and business partners from Express Mortgages are in town.

 

And when these two gents invade Scotland from Englandshire, they come packing, and they don't hold their punches. Straight talking and solving property funding puzzles are their key skills.

 

However, as you'll hear from the conversation, it's also always done with a ton of integrity and a massive heart. Giving quality time and consideration to their clients is an ethos that runs deep in their company and throughout their amazing team.

 

Steve and Paul cover every angle, answer every question, and don't hold back in any way.

 

> We talked about the standard residential market and all of the options and products available from lenders, both standard mainstream and also highly bespoke...

> We covered the booming buy-to-let and serviced accommodation areas, with the gents offering insights and advice for all levels of investors out there...

> And we covered the use of funding with bigger developments and new build sites...

Yann Murciano is a man who has always spotted inefficiencies and then made it his mission to clear them away to reach the opportunities that lie behind them...

 

It's an observational skill that has followed him through his finance and banking career, his time working in the markets in the United States, through his migration to the City of London, and deep into the UK's property market.

 

-----

 

> Yann and his team at Blend Network are deliberately shaking up the property lending market, which he sees as having rested on its comfortable laurels for too long...

 

> Listen to Yann speak about the focus he has on the end-customer experience, the property developers who are being thwarted by ancient and confusing lending practices...

 

> Hear Yann talk about the key areas where he sees efficiencies and improvements able to bring about real change for all concerned...

 

> Yann doesn't hold back with his opinions about the lack of transparency and the lack of regulation that he sees slowing or completely preventing property developers being able to deliver on their projects...

 

> Listen to Yann speak about his fascinating career path and the qualifications and experiences which have combined to enable him to have a laser focus on where his company can deliver with efficiency and quality...

 

> Hear Yann explain the impressive capital that Blend Network has amassed and how they're looking to forge long-term relationships with developers seeking to work on their pipelines of projects...

There are a good number of property developers doing business in the UK.  All in different locations, providing different properties, and in different ways.

There's a massive buzz around land and development in the property industry at this time. So who better to speak to about the subject than someone who has been in the game for more than 20 years, and who has built a land, development and investment agency that has done over £1.5 billion in property transactions. That person just happens to be today's guest on This Week In Property, Sam Murphy from Highfield Investments.

----------

Listen to Sam speak about the importance of 'pounding the beat' and walking your area for opportunity, and how just such a walk in the snow brought a development that remains one of his most treasured memories.

Where is the prime place in the UK to face, experience, challenge and enjoy “the game” of property, planning, building and development?

It has to be London, yes?

And the ‘spear’ for facing that battle needs to be credible and powerful. So how about the iconic name of Barratt?

And for the tip of that spear, you’re going to need someone who has seen it all.

Experience and expertise in the game for over 20 years.

Knowledge of planning and development inside companies from SME developers to giant PLCs.

Experience of residential-led volume developments, tricky brownfield sites, mixed-use projects, and major regeneration programmes.

But they can’t just be a Solo Star.

They have to enjoy building partnerships and relationships. Seeing the best and the opportunity in others.

A track record of forming partnerships that find solutions, solve problems, and bring award-winning homes to the people and families that come to live in the end home or the constructed leisure space.

Someone who doesn’t just know and excel in the detail, planning, design and construction with success and financial figures. But who actually cares about the residents and tenants involved. And takes actual joy from travelling past sites that he’s been responsible for building years before.

Someone who thinks about the now and the present, but also thinks about the future and legacy.

That person just happens to be today’s guest, Mr Craig Carson, the Managing Director at Barratt West London…

In today's show, we sit down with a young man whose family, background, and nurtured thinking have led him on a journey to seek out opportunity everywhere in life.

 

An entrepreneurial spirit, a drive to solve problems and succeed, and a restless, insatiable appetite to question and test and seek out ways to 'join the dots' in business and in life. Many viewers and listeners will find a kindred spirit in today's guest: Taylor McDonald...

 

-----

 

Taylor speaks of the challenging school life, varied early work life, and the characters who've played special parts in his growth, that have all determined the path that he's tread to date.

 

He shares the story of the first commercial project that boosted his desire to push on and grow his property business.

Listen to him talk of the fascinating and creative opportunities he sees around him, from property, to pet grooming, to abandoned train carriages, to launching a future property staging business.

 

He's a young man on a mission, and he's just building up steam...

I hate social media.  I'm introverted and private.  I detest fakeness.  I'm too busy with my real business. Common objections and reasons given by most busy professionals and property investors when it comes to even considering jumping into the online world of social media.

And also the exact same initial thoughts of today's guest, Billy Farrell.

But after changing how he viewed the social media world and decided how he would personally approach and use it, he went on to build and establish a powerful networking and marketing tool that he uses to real effect when it comes to business and profits...

------

Listen to Billy open up honestly right from the start about the single biggest mistake he ever made when it came to his online presence.

In today's show, we sit down with Guy Horne, one of the co-founders of HSPG, the UK's leading social impact real estate investment firm.

 

You'll hear how along with his long-time friend since school, David Searle, they have managed to unite, build an amazing team, form powerful partnerships, and make a gigantic impact in UK property that is helping so many lives...

 

Guy reflects back on the very first project that he and David got together on: a low-cost HMO investment project in Manchester. And how a crazy 6 and a half year journey has seen HSPG grow into working with over 30 housing providers, over 60 Local Authority partnerships, over £350m in invested funds, and over 4,000 new bed spaces created.

 

It's a highly-impressive journey that's been making waves in the affordable and supported housing areas that face up to the gigantic housing and homelessness crises in the UK.

 

Listen to Guy tell the "William Hill" story and how the changes in Permitted Development and a creative way of achieve affordable housing have brought about unique ways of solving problems.

 

Guy speaks of the individual human tales he saw around him, which inspired him to find ways to help so many people, and to tie into the public and private partnerships that could bring the expertise and solutions required.

 

Listen to Guy tell about their "Project 2000" initiative and how they're not just on track to meet it, but to blow it out of the water.

 

A passionate team, a demand-driven strategy, an entrepreneurial mindset, and an open and vulnerable approach to learning and working with others around them, HSPG is a formidable force that isn't anywhere near stopping in it's vision...
