This week Dan and James are joined by Will Gentle - Manager of Martin & Co. Will is going to help answer two property related listener questions.

Our first question is from Samantha in Looe who asks,

“I am very interested in your podcast surrounding the 18 year property cycle and very eager to invest £150,000 of funds I have into a buy to let. I am quite flexible with location of this investment but wondered where you would recommend I look and the type of property you would recommend buying?’

Our second questions is from Holly in Padstow

"Cornwall has undoubtedly seen amazing growth over the past three years as a result of the Pandemic. Where in your mind do you see the current housing market here in Cornwall in terms of its growth/decline?”

Tune in to find out what Dan, James & Will had to say.

Episode 35 Ask Sophie Lang

Description:
This week Dan and James are joined by Sophie Lang - Lettings Director of Lewis Haughton Wills. Sophie is going to help answer two lettings related listener questions.

Our first question is from Joanne in Chasewater who asks,

“I have three rental properties which I have just inherited in Truro. They consist of a 2 bed flat, a 1 bed flat and a 5 bedroom HMO. I am undecided weather or not I should or could self manage or hand them over to a lettings agent. What would you recommend?"

Our second questions is from Peter in Penzance who asks:

"Loving the content guys, thank you so much and please keep it up. My question is about lettings agency fees. I was wondering what you would expect a letting agency to charge for a standard buy to let management service. I am assuming between 8-12% would this be about right? Also, what should I be expecting for this price? Also, what are my options on a tenant find service rather than full management. Does this work out a similar price overall do you think vs a monthly percentage? Thanks in advance for any guidance you can give."

Tune in to find out what Dan, James & Sophie had to say.

Episode 34: Ask Dan & James

Description: 
This week Dan and James answer two more listener questions.

Our first question is from Sarah in Helston who asks,
“Can I use a home buyers survey to negotiate a price? I have recently had one done that says a property needs a lot of repairs doing to it. Can I use this survey along with the property valuation to my advantage to negotiate a better deal?”

Next up we have Jack from Newquay 

“I have a buy to let property and currently pay £60 PCM for maintenance. There are 20 flats in the block so this should be giving £14,400. The building looks in poor condition with broken gutters and has not been painted in years. I feel the money is not being used for the maintenance of the building at all! What can I do as I don't feel I have any control?”

Episode 32 Ask Dan & James

This week Dan and James answer two more listener questions.

Our first question is from Tom “Hey guys, hope your both well. Loving your content please keep it coming. I’ve been chatting to my step dad and he thinks the property market will go down/ crash (at some point). He’s advising me not to buy a residential property right now, but I’m still thinking i should because I’d prefer to pay a higher price to buy and pay a mortgage rather than rent. What I am debating is doing up my one buy to let property and selling it….. then sitting on the cash for the future until the market goes down and I can buy a cheaper property. I’m weighing up the pros and cons in my head of either having regular money coming in from the buy to let as a holiday let or selling when the market is high. Was just wondering what your thoughts are on the matter”

Next up we have a question from Peter in Stithians

I am hoping to take a derelict cottage in Porthlevern where I live and bring it back to the Cornish locals. I am allowing 6 months for the project but I am going to be refinancing afterwards, some tell me this can be achieved in two weeks, is this possible and is it wise to have say 7 months for the whole project where i have the refinance money back in the bank?

Episode 30: Ask Dan & James

This week Dan and James answer two more listener questions.

Our first question is from Jay in Bodmin who asks,
“I know I need to improve the energy performance of my rental property but my concerns are that it is all electric? Have I got any chance of achieving a C rating on the EPC if this is the case as I understand that it is much harder without gas? ”

Next up we have a question from Emma in Truro who asks:

I know that people talk about Mundic in Cornwall but is it really something that I should concerned about when investing down here or is that a bit OTT?
