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 I...

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 o...

What things pop into your head as a seller or a buyer when the word "auction" is mentioned?   A large, stuffy room with over-emotional bidders waving paddles in the air and paying over the odds for a property they haven't properly considered?   A seller having to give away massive amounts of their property's value just to desperately get a sale that their local estate agent couldn't manage?   A bu...

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 a...

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 tab...

And words like 't...

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,...

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...
