Honest Property Investment with Natasha Collins

The property market is getting tricky.

There are so many blind spots in the industry wrapped up like Christmas Presents, that investors/buyers just simply don’t notice.

And that is where it will cost you long term.

It may look really nice that some new build apartment block developers have decided to hand out £0 ground rents and 999 year leases (how kind).

But you read through the lease and realise they charge you £200 in admin fees every time you put in place a new AST…

To be a competent investor you MUST 👏 READ 👏 EVERYTHING. That includes any lease. Any title deeds. Any special conditions in the auction catalogue.

Yes, you pay a solicitor to do this… but everyones human and may miss something thats vitally important to you. You also owe a duty of care to yourself to make sure you are as informed as possible.

So in this weeks podcast I’m going through all of the blind spots I’m seeing in the property industry right now and how to avoid them.

There are currently 124 Debenhams units employing 12,000 members of staff across the UK.

When the stores close down, that’s an awful lot of empty space clogging up the high street.

‘Clogging’ funny word to use, right? But, in all honesty that’s what will happen. There will be a period of time where the liquidation process happens and none of the units can be used.

That will mean retail units being shuttered or boarded up. Leading to security issues… which inevitably leaves the surrounding retailers nervous, if they survive at all.

Traditionally Anchor units, Debenahms would bring footfall to an area, which is why retailers pay to be next door to these units in the first place.

Footfall dwindles = reduced profits = more store closures.

Not pretty.

Which is why in this weeks podcast I’m discussing options for these Debenhams units.

HINT: Think innovation

Even if you don’t dream of owning a property the size of a Debenhams unit this is still for you. You need to be thinking about how you can change up the industry… this gives you a chance to daydream. That’s where all the best ideas come from!

Let me be straight, because I can be nothing else, I’m pretty sure the real reason your strategy is off is because you’re listening to too many other people telling you what your strategy shouldn’t be and pretending like that’s a strategy.

For example, If I were to ask you:

‘What’s your property investment strategy’

and you were to reply ‘Serviced accommodation’

I’d sigh and shake my head because that’s 👏 not 👏 a 👏 strategy.

A strategy is a plan over a number of years that shows growth, pinpoints when you’re next buying a property, how much income it’s going to generate, how you’re going to fund it, so that you’ve got a step by step guide.

Intrigued? Let me tell you more in this podcast

We don’t normally do this, but as we had such fun last night we have decided to replay the webinar as today’s podcast... The Decision Making Clinic Replay is RIGHT HERE

The key take away I wanted to share with you is that every single person's property portfolio is different and we all have different decisions to make at different times… but, decision making follows a set of rules we create for ourselves in our goals.

Being in a community where we can hash out the facts from the “what ifs” and come to the next best step moving forward.

I have created a space to do exactly that.
