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. I was too busy freaking out. It was about money and my business. At the beginning of March, NCRE had run out of money! BUT..... More about that in this week's podcast! Long story short, I had to make a plan, and QUICKLY! At the base of it, NCRE is going to be okay and I've come out much stronger and wiser than before. On my podcast, I'm going to talk about how a client of mine had to act on their property portfolio quickly too (yes, a real life case study which I know is going to help you!) I'll also answer a question on the podcast about how my SSAS allowed me to purchase a telephone box in the center of London! This a jam-packed podcast with real-life problems and real-life solutions- I hope you get something out of it! ALSO...

In this week's podcast, I'll be talking about how I get ready for the week every Sunday - in property investment style! Looking for new commercial property investments can become overwhelming, especially with the sheer amount of properties that are out there... AND finding the time to go through the properties that might work for you. It's crucial to know what you are looking for and what your search criteria are. As with everything, I need a strategy. I'll show you how I personally go through RightMove Commercial for any potential commercial property investments. I'll give you a couple of golden nuggets along the way to streamline the process and to share what I'm looking for (and what I'm definitely not!).  Let me know what you think, what are you looking for property-wise at the moment?

On Tuesday night I hosted the “Rising Above the Noise… How to Successfully Invest in Commercial Property in 2023” Masterclass and it was AMAZING! It was such a winner that I decided to share it with all my podcast listeners. What I want to really tell you now is that you should turn off the news, stay in your lane, keep investing - AND make sure that you have the right people around you who are knowledgeable and experienced. The market is not operating as it should (I’ll tell you why) BUT that doesn’t mean that long-term tenants are not looking for space. Yes, commercial property prices are falling, but let me explain to you why that is and how you can benefit from the current economic climate. Listen to my podcast...  And… after you listen and feel ready to learn how to get started with commercial property investment in 2023, go ahead and book a call with my Team. Let’s get that conversation started about how you can ace your property investment goals this year. Book a call with Team NCRE here.

As I’m sure you are all aware the state of the economy is getting WORSE. The Bank of England (BoE) base rate has increased, inflation has skyrocketed, and interest rates on commercial and residential mortgage lending products have continued to climb. Many experts are now predicting an economic recession until late 2024. But it’s not all BAD news… Because as this dynamic and elusive economic market keeps changing, so do we.

After weeks of chaos for the British government and wider economy, the team at NC Real Estate is here to deliver you some POSITIVE news: In this week’s podcast, we’ve put your questions to the Professionals here at NCRE to understand the DOs and DON’T when investing in commercial property in today’s economic climate. Here are a few juicy questions that we asked our experts: What lessons can investors learn from the 2008/09 recession that investors can apply now in the current economic situation? What investment strategies are going to work in the next 12-18 months? When is the right time to invest in property and what are your general thoughts on the prices? So, without spoiling all the fun here are a few insights from today's podcast: Stay calm and take a long-term view when investing. There are going to be a huge amount of people panicking, but there are also going to be a huge number of opportunities as a result. REMEMBER you make your money when you buy! Communication with the commercial t

It's been a full-on couple of days, hasn’t it?! To me, it feels like we are being pranked by our Government as seemingly they can’t read the room. The £ has fallen over a cliff and is making its way to the bottom of the South Sandwich Cliff (deepest underwater trench in the Atlantic apparently). The Bank of England base rate continues to rise and rumour has it will increase again by the end of the week. Mortgage products are being pulled. Valuations are being hit by material uncertainty clauses… expect 10-20% drops because of this and then mortgage underwriters may downvalue it some more. Yet, through all of this, I don’t see any reason to throw in the towel, its just time to change your approach. Want to know how? Listen to my podcast now!  Sidenote: Throughout this period of recession it's going to be freaking hard to stay grounded. You’re going to want to scream, shout, hide, give it all up, start again, lose yourself, pick yourself up and it's going to be hard. Community is key. I promise you I have

Return on capital employed (ROCE) is the % that I hear investors parsing a lot. This figure is your Net Annual Rent divided by the Cash you put into the deal less any equity you take out of the deal = ROCE as a %. Nowadays it's common for me to hear 50% or 75% ROCE employed banded about like it's some easy, risk-free thing to be able to achieve. It’s not. Easy is 10%-20% ROCE. 25% ROCE means you’ll need to make some tweaks to the building. 30% or higher means there’s some risk involved in getting more money out and that risk gets higher, the higher the ROCE. You need to decide what level of risk you are willing to take and whether you are happy to put in the leg work and potentially sleepless nights to achieve that higher ROCE… because remember, it’s tough! If you want to find out more about this, listen to today's pod, where I explain what the risks are right now and how you should be investing based on today's economic climate. AND... You are invited to the NCRE Members' Club LIVE Deal Analysis Master

If you are in the SSAS or commercial property world in the UK then I’m sure you’ve already heard of Alastair Hoyne and Finanze (agh@finanze.co.uk). He and his team have some awesome products right now… But, I’m absolutely sure you’re also thinking, interest rates are going up, lenders don’t seem to be as keen on lending on commercial and especially not commercial property purchased in my SSAS so how on earth am I actually going to move forward in todays climate. I get you, which is why I wanted to quiz Alastair on this. Questions asked were: What happens if I have a missed payment on my credit file, will I still get lending? Are there actually any lenders who lend to SSAS’s at a decent rate? What interest rate can I expect to pay on commercial property? How high do you see interest rates rising? Should I even be buying now? When should I use bridging isn’t it expensive? And, as it turns out from the podcast, anything is possible when it comes to finance. Enjoy the podcast! 

I thought that I’d have a little fun over the last couple of weeks and purchase something that no one would expect. I transferred some of my business profit into my SSAS and purchased a telephone box for £11,200 (plus fees of £1,250 inc VAT) in Central London. What am I doing with mine? I’m first renting it out to my Ltd company for £80/month and we’re going to do a little marketing/educational piece with it (which is why I can’t tell you exactly where it is yet). I hope this podcast inspires you to "think out the box" in terms of commercial property- the possibilities are endless! 

Have you signed up for my webinar "How to Supercharge your Property Portfolio through buying Commercial Property…without jumping on the Commercial to Residential conversion bandwagon" happening on Tuesday the 23rd of August at 19h00 BST? This is one you are not going to want to miss! Sign up to join the webinar here. Great, you signed up! Now onto today's meaty topic. My job as an Asset Manager is to be creative… with commercial property you get to do that. Most people think getting into commercial property is all about buying a retail unit on a high street. It’s not. I invited Bryn Walker and David Nicklin from Retirement Capital onto the podcast this week to discuss how your SSAS can fund commercial property. We ALSO chat about a whole host of different strategies; one being CMO’s (commercial multi-occupancy units) where in the example we used the profit rent to the Ltd company would be £10,000pa. Sounds good right? Enjoy the podcast and don't hesitate to contact Lorenza (lorenza@ncrealestate.co.uk) if
