  • 026 - JCT Contracts

    In this episode I go through the basics of these contracts that you may need for larger and more complex projects and will almost certainly be required if you are using commercial finance for your project.

    I also explain the role of a Contract Administrator who will help you understand these contracts fully and compile them when you need one.

    If your project is smaller then I would encourage you to go back and listen to episode 009 - Contracts for small projects

  • 024 - Architect or Planning Consultant

    Should you employ an Architect, a Planning Consultant or both on your next project?

    Well, the answer is often 'it depends'.

    In this podcast, I outline the roles of each so that you can understand what they bring to the table and I'll give you a rough set of criteria to help you work out for yourself who you need.

  • 023 - Paying your builder up front

    This is another topic that I regularly get asked for my opinion on and sadly, sometimes by property investors who have lost money when their builder has disappeared. In this episode, I'll explain the pros and cons of paying in advance and how you can reduce the risk as much as possible.

    I'll also talk you through the options for recovering this money as the project runs through as that is frequently something overlooked, often causing a dispute later.

  • 022 - Are you spending too much on your refurb?

    I regularly speak to property investors who, I think, are potentially spending too much on their refurbishments. This could be because they have just followed what they have seen other investors do or because they don't understand their market.

    In this episode I talk through some elements of a refurbishment where it's very easy to spend too much money especially if you aren't working at the top end of the market.

    You won't want to miss this episode, it could save you thousands of pounds.

  • 021 - Splitting the services - it's not always as simple as it sounds

    This is a topic that I regularly discuss with members of my community and every time someone is surprised that it is not straightforward. This also means that it isn't that cheap either so if you don't understand what you need to do you could easily be caught out.

    In this episode I explain the whole process and give away indicative costs so that you have the knowledge you need next time you see a property where the services need splitting.

    If you are putting off refurbishing your property because you don't know what software or apps to use to help you manage things then this episode is for you. I'm here to encourage you to get started and can tell you that you don't need anything special.

    There's a bonus as well - you don't need to buy anything!
