The Property Podcast

This week we’re talking about buying to sell – why would you flip a property, and how do you make sure you avoid the risks and secure a good profit? We got help in putting this episode together from Susannah Cole from The Good Property Company, who recently helped us to put together a course […] The post TPP076: How to flip a property appeared first on The Property Hub.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, no two ways about it: we had a bit of a moan. Yes, we each picked three items to go into our personal Property Room 101 – an idea we shamelessly “borrowed” from Pete Matthew, who did his own Room 101 on the Meaningful Money Podcast a while back. We thought we were […] The post TPP075: Property Investment Room 101 appeared first on The Property Hub.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The property market is moving fast, and you can’t rely on the newspapers to give you an accurate picture of what’s happening – or to give you the level of detail you need about what’s happening in your local market. So this week we shared 7 ways to stay on top of the property market… […] The post TPP074: Seven ways to stay on top of the property market appeared first on The Property Hub.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week we’re celebrating the official launch of Yellow Lettings! So what better time, we thought, to do a whole episode about getting the best from your letting agent. We’ve said before that a good agent can make your property investing life a doddle, and a bad one can land you in all manner of […] The post TPP073: How to get the best out of your letting agent appeared first on The Property Hub.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week we risked offending pretty much everyone by running through a list of places in the UK where we wouldn’t invest. Our intention wasn’t to slag anywhere off, but to illustrate what does make a good investment by calling attention to situations where those factors are missing. So, strap yourself in while we share […] The post TPP072: Areas Where We Wouldn’t Invest appeared first on The Property Hub.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week we laid ourselves open to looking very daft indeed by making some long-term property predictions based on the 18-year property cycle that we introduced in Episode 69. The beauty of the cycle is that while no two cycles are ever quite the same, it’s a great framework for guiding your own thinking and […] The post TPP071: Long term property predictions appeared first on The Property Hub.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Some landlords rent exclusively to tenants who are receiving housing benefit – others would never dream of going anywhere near that market. So who’s got it right? We received a voicemail from a listener this week about this very subject, so we decided to dive deep into the issue in this episode. We looked into: […] The post TPP068: LHA tenants: Deal or No Deal? appeared first on The Property Hub.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Property Hub is six months old! To mark its half-birthday – and to celebrate having brought 1,000 members into the fold so far – we thought we’d share some things that the experience has taught us so far. The idea isn’t to bang on about why The Property Hub is great for half an […] The post TPP067: 8 things we’ve learnt from The Property Hub appeared first on The Property Hub.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We’ve never done a lease option, but they get talked about a lot and some people have had big success with them – so we thought we should dedicate an episode to explaining the basics. As the name implies, it involves taking an option to buy a property at a set price in the future, […] The post TPP066: An introduction to Lease Options appeared first on The Property Hub.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Back to school this week, as we talked about financial lessons we’d been taught in the classroom. We were inspired by this Daily Telegraph article by Martin Lewis, the Money Saving Expert, and talked about some of his ideas while adding our own. The lessons were: Your time has a value (Episode 63) Don’t borrow […] The post TPP065: Financial lessons you should have been taught at school appeared first on The Property Hub.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
