Nc Real Estate Podcast

I know it's been a tough 6 months! In this episode I get candid about how I'm feeling when I take off the business hat and what I'm doing about it! It's a bit of a jumbled episode as it's still pretty fresh, but I wanted to share what's been going on so hopefully it gives you some confidence that you too are also doing just fine!  Don't forget to check out my website http://ncrealestate.co.uk/

I’ve seen a lot going around social media about free content v paid content. I develop my business growth on Free v Paid and there is a difference in what is offered and how each type of content operates. I also don't class my ‘paid’ services as ‘content’. At the point that you pay my firm of surveyors for a service we are on hand to help, support and advise and that for me is the difference.... A professional service. This is also what you should be asking for with any service you pay for. In this podcast I go through the strategy and reasoning for both types of content and services. It may also help you understanding the back end of running a business through social media, as it’s definitely different from the traditional way for growing a firm of surveyors!!

Today, I have decided to get to the bottom of what actually goes on with valuations, from the man who sets the standards, Ben Elder. We discuss what Market Value actually means. How Valuers come to a value. The difference in valuations AND we dispel myths. PLEASE put this podcast on and take a good listen to what Ben has to say. Ben is in charge of setting the standard your property will be valued on. Yes, he does it on a UK basis for the RICS but also chairs the International Valuation Standards Committee so will be part of setting the standard for valuations internationally too. Please note that all views are Ben's own.  You can find Ben Elder on LinkedIn Twitter @belder10

this week, I sit down and talk to Shaz Ahmed. We go through property finance and FINANCE TRUTHS… Including bridge to let, bridge to refinance, commercial, social housing, short term accommodation, overseas investors, and of course using bounce back loans as a source of deposit. It’s an interesting chat AND Shaz is open about the lenders he uses for each different type of property and the interest rates you can expect to achieve. You can follow Shaz on Facebook , LinkedIn and Instagram

Ultimately there are 6 main ways you can raise your next deposit: Savings Remortgage of current property Additional borrowing on current property Second charge over a current property Sell an underperforming property Private finance whether through JV’s or Investors There’s a decision to be made behind why you would use each one I go through that on the podcast!

In this, shorter than normal, pod. I ask you to get back to basics and remind yourself of what your goals are. I start with asking questions about where you are today. I then ask you to look at what you want to achieve. I then get you to think about what you want your property portfolio to look like. This will help you to focus in on what you want to achieve, rather than getting overwhelmed with everything that comes your way. I encourage you to listen with a pen and paper handy!  Explore --> http://ncrealestate.co.uk

I’m optimistic that after a few slow years there will be opportunities for innovation and changing the shape of high streets and offices, into more dynamic spaces that can be opened up or closed down depending on what’s needed at the time. However, I also know that in order to get a mortgage on a commercial or mixed use property you definitely need to have tenants in situ, which is why I’m looking to scoop up properties from Landlords who can’t wait to get out of this sector. Therefore, as it’s high on my agenda, I have dedicated this weeks podcast to Commercial and Mixed Use Property Investment. I answer the question, is it really worth it?

Jake is a property investor, developer, owner of Assets We Build which includes its global acquisitions consultancy and Jake is the host of the Best in Property Podcast. You can find him on Instagram @jakeknotman 

Today, I’m excited to invite Faith Locken to the podcast where we discuss commercial, residential, risk and more. If there’s one big takeaway you should be getting from Covid 19, is that going forward we need to diversify our portfolios to risk proof them. That’s having a mix of residential property, plus if it’s your jam a sprinkling of commercial. Markets are ALWAYS going to change, that’s inevitable. Yes, there will be demand for homes and so standard BTL’s will always be a popular investment (providing we buy in the right area). However, we always need to be thinking about live, work and play… the three overarching categories of property, and how we can maximise that in our portfolio. You’ve also got to remember, that what works for you, may not work for someone else and vice versa. Therefore you’ve got to build a portfolio that both excites you, but will also hit your goals in a changing market.

In this podcast, I'm going to let you into my and my husband Chris' bubble that we have going on here in our apartment. We have been working from home together since the 10th March, lockdown really came into force on the 16th March and we’ve been figuring out the new dynamic within our family. Spoiler alert… we’ve handled this much better than I thought we would! Come and join us as we talk through what we’ve been doing over the past couple of months, how we’ve handled the highs and the lows and what we’ve learnt so far.

What is the first step you should take to developing your personal brand and then what is the one consistent step you should be doing daily?
