Honest Property Investment with Natasha Collins

This week I'm going through the top lessons I've learnt or been reminded of in commercial property in 2024 and how I'm taking this into 2025... its more about money / negotiating / leasing then anything theory related. Make sure you add these lessons into your commercial property knowledge base too!

This week I'm loosing my voice (again) so I'm sharing with you a case study from my client Helen Gill about two offers that were accepted on commercial property. One, Helen went through with, £228,000 for £22,000 worth of income (9.65%). The second was aborted. You'll find out why in the podcast.

This week I discuss exactly why commercial property is boring, trust me, the next full update you'll get on something I discuss on this podcast will be end of June 2026... why I lost my temper just before recording and what to do when you get that downer of a heritage consultant telling you all the things you can't do!

Long title for this weeks podcast, but with the Freehold and Leasehold Reform Act coming into full swing in 2025 I'm giving you a heads up from the commercial investor standpoint... and to be quite honest I'd be wary!

This week on the podcast I share the results from our Facebook Ads for commercial property lettings, an update on mortgage results and what the Q3 2024 RICS UK Commercial Property Monitor says about the state of the commercial property market.

On the podcast this week my wonderful client Patricia breaks down what she learned from buying three industrial units as her first commercial transaction and how to make sure your offer gets accepted.

The headline points of the deal:

At first Kulvinder thought this was going to be a development, but after having the valuation carried out, the strategy changed entirely.

This week I invited my wonderful client Debbie Johnston onto the podcast to discuss the property she purchased this year in Dereham.

Headline figures are:

It was purchased via Debbies' SSAS unencumbered.

All was shaping up to be a straightforward deal until the seller accepted a break clause between exchange and completion which meant the main tenant was going to try and leave.

Confident Commercial Property Investment is launching on the 24th October.
