The Property Podcast

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.

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.

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.

This week we were examining a simple question that has big implications: what is your time worth? As investors we spend a lot of time obsessing about how much money we can afford to put into a deal, but we neglect the only truly limited commodity we have – time. Really, we should be factoring […] The post TPP063: Valuing your time appeared first on The Property Hub.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We love books, we love property…so can you even imagine how much we love property books?
