This Week In Property Podcast

Our recent guest, Paul McFadden, who was interviewed for his immediate analysis and review on the unfolding situation for business owners and property investors with the COVID-19 pandemic, promised that he would "sit by the Bat Phone" in case we needed to call him for another urgent update.  In today's show, he duly obliged... > while in lockdown how can we still work on our business and what areas should we focus on? > hear Paul's latest take on the Government stimulus around: Coronavirus Business Interruption Loans, Grants, Rates relief, and support for employees and the self-employed > why Paul is "busier than ever" during this time of crisis  > a reminder on his views on the global economic recession that he sees lying in wait behind this current global health pandemic

Due to the fast-moving nature of the global health pandemic that is COVID-19, this week's scheduled episode with Jay Turner has been postponed for a short period. That's a fantastic 2-part show that viewers will get a lot from, so keep your eyes peeled for those episodes being released shortly.

For now, though, due to the current situation we have a special 'emergency podcast' bringing in Paul McFadden as a special guest to discuss the current climate that we face as people, family members, business owners, and investors.

Watch today's episode to find out...

> how the very real economic impacts from this health pandemic are NOT the actual global recession that Paul sees as still to come

> how Paul views challenging times like these to test ourselves as leaders

> the lessons behind thinking of the 'economic tides' being out and being in, and how they relate to the state of our business

> how the key areas of Mindset and Due Diligence are what can help you thrive and survive in these times of uncertainty

> how the current Government stimulus packages are very much required in the short-term, but also very damaging for the long-term.

In today's show, we do something a little bit different and special when we bring two highly impressive people into the Property Pros Spotlight...husband and wife team: Barry-John & Leanne Corr ----- We've had the Corrs on the show a while ago, but what they've been doing over the last year in particular, how their business has exploded, and the amount of people that they're helping, is something you've got to see and hear about. So we sat the lovely Corrs in the studio and captured their story: their family life; their decisions to grow a business and leave employment; how they both went through Property Protege to bring their partnership closer; the ups and downs of the property world; the successes and challenges; their projects and developments; and the huge group of people that they're helping and impacting around them. We then headed out on the road to actually visit and film inside just some of the projects they have on the go at the moment. Properties needing a lot of love and attention, homeowners and buyers needing assistance, conversions and developments, and a chance to let you take a look behind the curtain of the reality of property development and investing. Completely open and transparent as ever, the Barry-John and Leanne shared every part of their story. How they bring up their kids around money and work, how they work together as a partnership, how they work with their power team around them, the decisions and setbacks they've faced, the moments of appreciation when they look back at what they've managed to achieve; everything! It's a fantastic show with a fantastic couple. Make sure you watch the video version to fully see and hear all that's going on, and take the tour through some of their live projects...

In today's show, Richard sits down with Ales Spetic, the CEO and Co-Founder of Klevio. Viewers and listeners who know all about the endless headaches in their home, office, and business life with doors, locks and keys, are going to love today's show and hearing how Klevio can clear those headaches... ----- As a serial entrepreneur, Ales spotted a technical solution to an age-old problem in the property world: having to deal with locks and keys... > The office manager with a team of changing staff and countless keys > The short-term-let landlord with a relentless stream of customers, quick turnarounds, cleaning staff, and maintenance team all looking for access to the same place > The long-term-let landlord dealing with security issues around previous tenants leaving, possible lock changes, missing keys, refurb/decorating crews, and new tenants moving in > Being away from your home or business when a delivery driver turns up  > Or even the 3,000 year-old-problem of the teenager who constantly loses their home key! Klevio has the tech and the intelligence to solve all of those problems...

In today's show, Richard sits down with Chris Wood from Portolio. With the tagline of being "The Landlord's Estate Agent", Portolio has a business model and provides a service that can remove a lot of headaches for both Landlords and Investors... ----- Chris chats freely and openly about his own career path and love affair with property. He explains the inspirational morning that the whole idea of Portolio came about. Chris explains how his entrepreneurial spirit then took that idea into action.  Connections, networking, relationships, solving others' problems, experimenting and testing, acting as the hub between different parties with different needs and issues, and bringing Portolio to life and great success with business partner Ross MacDonald. For the landlord looking to sell their tenanted property at a good price, for the investor looking to purchase a property with cashflow from Day 1, for the tenant hoping to carry on living in their home, and for the letting agent and solicitor who want the whole changeover handled in a highly professional and reassuring manner, Portolio is in the middle making it all happen...

"In today's show Richard brings another fantastic Property Professional into the Spotlight on This Week In Property.....Ellie McKay!

Ellie has been on the show before, but has been kicking up such a storm, racking up so many wins, and is now specialising in a particular area with her husband Mark, that it was time to bring her back on the show for a catch-up.

In her typical honest and open fashion, Ellie bares her soul with the challenges and setbacks, or as she rightly calls them "life lessons", that she has faced on her journey.

She also offers inspiration and encouragement to all viewers and listeners with the amazing successes that she's built up in business with her husband Mark.

They're both on an incredible journey in life and business, and they are serving and helping so many people. A sterling example of how to properly do business in today's modern world.

In today's show, we have not one, but two expert guests eager to help viewers of This Week In Property.

And they're the sort of experts that every property professional dealing with buy-to-lets and portfolios really needs. A key member to the Power Team you form around you: the Letting Agent.

And in this instance, two incredible letting agents: Laura Chapman and Mark Shanta.

Top-quality agents that we've personally used and would recommend, Laura's company covers the city of Edinburgh, while Mark's company covers the city of Glasgow.

Any viewers who are landlords, who have properties to let in either of these cities and nearby areas, and who are lucky enough to be taken on by Laura or Mark, have got it made!

The expertise, professionalism, knowledge, and service that these two crack professionals provide is of the highest standard.

And they kindly share a ton of that knowledge and experience in today's show.

In today's show, another high-performance property professional is brought into the spotlight.

Known affectionately as The Wizard of Wigan, for how he can expertly structure property projects and find ways to help and serve many people, today's guest is Craig Winnard.

Craig kindly traveled to PMW Offices with his lovely young family, to generously share his impressive journey so far in the world of property.

- hear how a family business was formed and expanded over time, and how such family relationships and different skillsets and personalities can be brought together in a hugely successful fashion

- listen to details of some of the deals, profits, and projects that can be achieved in the property world

- learn from Craig's mindset and approach that has helped him steer the business forward, and how many different lessons have been learned along the way.

- take inspiration from stories of the many quirky and successful marketing campaigns and ideas that he's used throughout the years

- but also learn from the openness and honesty about the bumps in the road, and how to adapt and respond when challenges come along

Craig's story is another impressive, encouraging, and inspirational tale of what's possible in business and in property in particular.

Viewers of the show will have a lot of 'golden nugget' information to take away from Craig as he kindly stepped into the glare of our Property Pros Spotlight...
