This week we're talking about how to conduct a viewing. Whether you're showing your property to rent or sell, there are a few simple techniques you can use to radically boost your chances of sealing the deal once you get people through the door.

(A good companion to this episode is Episode 231 on how to find tenants, so you can get those viewings set up first.)

We also look over the Labour and Conservative housing policies that have emerged from the party conferences in recent weeks. What are the politicians planning to throw at landlords next? Take a listen and we'll reveal all!

Just pop a SIM card into this tiny device, and it'll broadcast a 4G signal to all your devices...so no excuse for missing the podcast, wherever you are and whatever's going on!
