In the ever-changing landscape of property investment, it is crucial to adapt and balance risk. Various factors, such as interest rate rises, government legislation changes, economic fluctuations, and cultural shifts, continuously impact the market. To navigate these changes, diversification is key. In commercial property, it means investing in different use classes and areas as your portfolio grows. While it is natural to seek high returns in the short term, it is vital to establish clear goals for the long term. Consider defining target returns or yields for your entire portfolio to provide direction and ensure you stay on track. Remember that diversification beyond property is essential for a well-rounded portfolio. Start small, gradually expand, and adjust your investments over time. Embrace a growth mindset, allowing yourself to invest in imperfect properties as you refine your strategy. Set clear targets, remain flexible, and maintain a long-term perspective for successful investing. If you want to r

In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Vito and Daniela, who shared their unique approach to running serviced accommodation (SA). They revealed a strategy that goes beyond relying solely on Airbnb and Booking.com for bookings. While their properties are listed on these platforms, Vito and Daniela primarily use them for SEO ranking purposes to drive traffic to their own brand website. This innovative approach allows them to secure the top spot in search results, and it also provides direct access to Daniela's phone number, enabling potential guests to contact her directly. This personal touch has been instrumental in attracting guests looking for a home away from home. During our conversation, they shared their remarkable success story of securing a staggering £22,300 booking for a two-bedroom property over three months. This achievement showcases the power of their knowledge and innovation in the SA market. Furthermore, they delved into the topic of capital allowances, emphasizing its import

In this podcast episode, Natasha explores the benefits and limitations of Chat GPT, an artificial intelligence tool that provides information based on pre-existing data. While Chat GPT can answer questions and offer insights based on available information up until September 2021, it requires well-formulated queries to obtain useful results. Although it claims to research property deals, it currently lacks access to specific real estate data sources. However, it can analyze and synthesize data provided by the user to offer a broad overview of market trends. Natasha advises listeners to gather comprehensive property information and use Chat GPT's insights as a supplemental tool for decision-making.  1. Collect comprehensive property data: Ensure you have all the necessary informa

In this week's podcast, I discuss Mindset and Commercial Property Investment with Alyssa Holbrook. We had a fascinating discussion about Mindset and Investing in Commercial Property and I can't wait for you to have a listen.  As I work closely with so many commercial property investors, I KNOW what many of you go through, so it was crucial for me to get to the bottom of what is going on so that you can continue investing more successfully and for the long term.  Here are a couple of the topics we discuss on today's podcast:  Money Mindset (and how it might be holding you back)Fear of Failure and how to learn from "negative experiences"Assessing your belief systems and setting firm boundariesHow to put yourself and your business first How to become more confident and learn techniques to shift your mindset when you need toIf you can relate to some of these topics above, you're going to want to listen to my podcast!

In this episode, we'll be taking a look at Commercial Multiple Occupancy (CMO) and exploring the advantages and disadvantages they can offer.CMOs are an incredible strategy within Commercial, especially if the landlord had negotiated all-inclusive rents which cover maintenance, insurance, business rates, utilities, etc.  But that's not all - we'll also be discussing a particularly unique and exciting property purchase - my telephone box!I'll be taking you through all the costs, challenges, and current updates on what's happening with it. Also, today (the 25th of April 2023) is the LAST day to join the Members' Club at the current price of £1625 + vat p/person p/annum.

I’m currently collecting £1 for every time someone says to me: ‘all Commercial Valuations are being done on vacant possession value, my mortgage broker says so’. To avoid that £1 charge, read up on “5 methods of Valuation RICS” on Google… The one’s that you and I will be concerned with are the comparable method or the investment method.  Essentially, the comparable method is the most widely known, and the values (whether rental or capital) are derived from other similar buildings.  The investment method is used where there is an income coming from the property.  I’ll go into more detail about this on this episode, and will importantly discuss what things could impact yields.  Listen to my podcast, and leave a comment. I'd love to hear from you!

If you want to ask a question that I’ll answer on my podcast, email natasha@ncrealestate.co.uk. I'm collecting questions over the next week or so, so please send over your property-related questions and get them answered! So, I messed up last week… which is why there was no podcast.
