The Refurbishment Mastery Podcast

Ultimately this is your responsibility and can’t be outsourced to your builder so you need to understand your responsibilities before there is an accident.

I’m not qualified to give health and safety advice so this episode provides an overview of the legislation so that you understand the advice that you need to take from a qualified health and safety consultant.

This podcast could save you a lot of trouble in your property investment, it’s not one you want to miss.

Did you know that in certain circumstances you only need to pay 5% VAT for your refurbishment works?  Wouldn’t it be great to save 15% every time you refurbish a property?

Although I’m not able to give VAT advice, in this episode I explain my interpretation of the VAT regulations and help you understand them better.  I explain when the reduced rate applies and what you need to do to get the benefit.

Tune in now, this episode could save you 15% of your build cost.

Whilst amateur investors and the public are running away from property with structural problems I would encourage you to run the other way as with a little bit of knowledge there are some great deals out there.

In this episode, I’ll explain who your best friend is when it comes to properties with structural defects and talk through some ways that you can creatively acquire a property with structural problems using less money.

Structural defects reduce your competition, if you listen to this podcast I hope you are more enthused to look for these properties.

Personally I don’t buy listed buildings and maybe after listening to this podcast you won’t either.  

There’s definitely kudos in owning a listed building but if you are a property investor they may not be ideal as I reveal in this episode.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for protecting our heritage but the one thing I dislike is too much RISK and in my mind that is a one word summary of buying and owning Listed Buildings.

The 3 real live projects I discuss will really help you understand this more, listen now.

It’s alright using a formal contract on a large project but on smaller ones it just isn’t practical.

Smaller builders are often put off by a formal contract as they don’t understand them so you need to find an alternative solution.

In this podcast I outline a simpler solution and go through the important things that you need to think about, discuss and agree with your builder.

This podcast could avoid you getting into a dispute with your builder and if you do, then help you resolve it quickly.

Property Investors tell me that they hate this.

I believe that’s because they don’t know how to manage the process and probably get involved too early.

It doesn’t have to take hours to snag a property and it certainly shouldn’t lead to falling out with your builder.  Join me in this episode and I’ll explain everything so that next time you need to snag a project you’ll find it easier.
