WEALTH: Gold expert Simon Popple makes a strong case for the inflation protection qualities of investing in gold. Even now when gold is at all time highs. As a former head of investment manager at Strutt and Parker, Simon realised that his personal inflation rate was much higher than the RPI. After much research he decided investment into gold was the answer.

In this interview we discuss:
- Why gold provides the hedge against inflation that Simon believes we all need as part of a balanced portfolio
- How to invest in gold and other commodities directly or via companies exposed to gold
- How physical silver can save your skin should an armageddon-like situation unfold
- How Simon teaches people to invest in gold and other commodities using his BRIDGE System.

ABOUT SIMON
Following an MBA, Simon's corporate career started in investment banking at Singer and Friedlander and later at ABN AMRO where he became one of the founding members of their financial sponsors team within corporate finance.  

Deciding that his friends in property were earning more and working fewer hours, Simon went on to become the head of investment management at Strutt and Parker real estate financial services and then joined Copland, one of the world's largest private property companies as their youngest director. It was during this time that Simon realised his pension wasn't keeping up with his own level of personal inflation let alone the RPI. He decided to do something about it and struck gold.

EP152: "I've been doing purchase lease options since before they were being taught. I would never have said now is a good time to do it because it's always been a good time. But now I'm telling the world that there are so many options out there. And the amazing thing about it is that we get to help people. There are people out there who we need to help. They are literally so stressed, so scared, getting sick because they cannot cope with what they've got. We can go in there and take all that pressure off them. Take their pain. Let them earn income each month without the fear of having to pay a mortgage each month."

I met with Gillie Barlow, experienced property investor who has never put down more than a few thousand pounds for any of her property deals. She explains how PLOs are the way to not only build your own portfolio but genuinely help people get out of difficult situations. 

KEY POINTS

• What are purchase lease options, PLOs? 
• What is now the right time to seek out PLOs and how do you go about it? 
• How Gillie started with a vision to help disabled children and led to her volunteering in jails
• Why it is so important to invest in property with purpose

ABOUT GILLIE 

Born an identical twin into a large family, Gillie grew up in a wonderful farm house with a menagerie of animals. She has always had a passion to build people up, to see them flourish and to help them understand what ‘happy’ and ’success’ mean.  She has forever had a love for property but even more for people.  She is a property entrepreneur and a visionary.  When she was 20 she flew out to the Kalahari desert where she lived for a while, working with a safari company.  It is during this time that Gillie whilst stretching herself massively out of her comfort zone and lead her to purchasing her first property 2 years later - a ski chalet in France. It became part of Sophia Holidays and is where many disabled children ventured through her charity Sophia's Alpine Disabled Adventures.

EP151: January 2024 has started well in terms of confidence returning to the UK property market. The cost of borrowing has started to decrease as mortgage lenders fight for market share. Santander has launched a 5-year fixed rate at 3.84%, which is very different to the average rate of 6.66% during August 2023. The Bank of England may start to cut interest rates sooner than initially thought. This will be welcome news to homeowners, businesses and the wider economy.

 The positive indicator of the housing market is that mortgage approval rates are 25.6% higher than 12 months ago, which will filter through to a greater number of property transactions over the next few months. 

Key Points: 

• Nationwide, Halifax and Rightmove have reported: -0.2%, +3.1% and +0.1% over the last 12 months. Nationwide, Halifax and Rightmove show that prices increased from last month (on a monthly basis). 
• ONS figures show increases of -1.4% nationally and -4.8% in London. 
• Rents have increased by 7.5% nationally and 4.6% in London. The average monthly rent is now £1,280 nationally, and £2,081 in London. They are predicted to increase by 25% over the next 2 years as the shortage of rental stock increases as some landlords leave the market.
• The Bank of England rates have remained on hold at 5.25% for the fifth consecutive month, and is forecast to reduce rates as early as May 2024. 
• Lenders have started to reduce the rates available on 2 year and 5-year fixed terms, as they predict that Bank of England rates will decrease to around 4% over the next two years. 
• Stamp duty: it has been muted that if Labour are elected in at the next General Election in the second half of the year, they will increase SDLT for overseas buyers. 

My Property Consultant believe that prices will remain constant for the next 6 months, but some areas may see slight decreases (around 3-5%) but it does depend on the area and type of property.
