37 Question Due Diligence Checklist / Auction Guide

Recent times have seen many UK property investors sitting on the sidelines or leaving the sector altogether. 

But with interest rates gradually heading south, uncertainty around the Renters’ Rights Act and the recent budget also fading, perhaps now is the right time to buy. 

That's the argument of this week's guest, Will Mallard

Will moved to the UK in 2017 from his native New Zealand where he started his professional career as a junior estate agent. 

He’s an experienced investor and developer specialising in social housing, residential portfolios, and property trading.

He’s also the host of My Property World, a podcast with 280 episodes worth checking out.

During the episode, we discuss:

·       Why now might be a good time to buy UK property, considering interest rates, recent legislation, and market uncertainty.

·       The impact of rising population and the proportional increase in households on property demand.

·       Landlords leaving the market and how this creates opportunities for new investors.

·       The dynamics of previously rented properties being sold to owner-occupiers versus landlords.

·       Current challenges facing the HMO sector, including rising utility costs and inconsistent commercial valuations.

·       Key risks in property investment and the importance of understanding what could go wrong.

·       Where the biggest opportunities lie in buying and fixing problem properties, especially those that are initially unmortgageable.

·       The effect of increased institutional investment from companies like Lloyds, Grainger, and John Lewis.

·       How to prepare a property portfolio for sale, focusing on profitability, compliance, and strong leases.

·       The fundamental importance of being persistent and consistent in deal-finding, including networking, following up, and tapping into unconventional sources for discounted properties.
