13 October 2020

On the show -  Heather and James talk to Max Stuart about how rent to rent can provide an income without having a mortgage.

Is it time to dream GREEN? The Rise of Sustainable Living means Brits demand greener homes post lockdown. Changing our behaviour to reduce carbon emissions can be done, if we start by putting our own house in order first.

I talk to Charlie Luxton, Architectural Designer, Writer & TV Presenter, and Scott Somerville, spokesperson for E.ON about how Government, Companies and individuals can meet the challenge of the climate crisis.

Lockdown has resulted in prospective homeowners looking for a different kind of 'green' in their future properties.

Wanting to lower energy bills, starting today, is something we can ALL do with a few behavioural changes to make us happier in healthier homes.

Gas Safety Week celebrates its 10th anniversary from 14 - 20 September 2020.

To mark the occasion, I talk to Martyn Bridges, Director of Worcester Bosch.

Lockdown has thrown servicing and the issuing of gas safety certificates into disarray, for both homeowners and Landlords.

The annual campaign raises awareness of gas safety and the importance of checking gas appliances regularly - especially now winter is just around the corner.  So what better time to book in an appointment with your Gas Safe Registered Engineer!

Are you planning home improvements or an extension this year?

Latest figures reveal that PROPERTY hits the headlines again, with lock down sparking a boom in home improvements.

My guest, Interiors Expert and Instagram Influencer, Lisa Dawson, talks planning, budgets and mood boards.

I ask Lisa what her top 3 take-aways are when about to embark on a home improvements project:

1. Find your style!  Look at inspiration boards...

2. Decide what you love - textiles, flooring etc

3. Don't rush nor buy on impulse!

Currently suffering from 'extension exhaustion' myself, I love Lisa's easy to implement ideas.  

Heather Hilder-Darling and James Duffy chat to Sandy Bastin, Head of TDS Adjudication Services about Pets and Property.

Puppy pandemic and depressed dogs? Why landlords and tenants need to seriously consider bringing pets into property way before parting with their £££s.

On today’s ‘Let’s Talk Property’, how lockdown has provoked a surge of 70% in Wills!

And – we’re going to find out about 'Where there’s a WILL there’s a WAY', from my guest today, TV Presenter, Lifecoach and Author of 'The Grief Survival Guide', Jeff Brazier.

Thanks for listening,

Heather Hilder-Darling
