Ed Talks to Phil Priest - Proven: asking buyers to pay for upfront searches reduces property fall throughs to zero

You may have read about how a trial in Cheshire was dramatically cutting property fall throughs and completion times - Ed [\'https://www.linkedin.com/in/ed-mead-frics-48232325/\'] talks to Phil Priest [\'https://www.linkedin.com/in/philpriest/\'] (founder of 4Corners Property [\'https://www.4cornersproperty.co.uk/\']) and is the man behind it all. Plus, see how you can join in with the trial. The trial has conclusively shown that simply asking buyers to pay for an upfront search reduces fall throughs to zero and takes weeks off completion! Here he explains what he’s doing and adds in a free PIP vault data room. Given the paucity of progress from the recent Digital Property Market Steering Group meeting, it perhaps reminds us that in a largely analogue world, keeping it very simple helps.

Ed Talks to Peter Ambrose - Buying & selling property - better or worse over the last three years?

Speed of transactions has been a hot topic for years and Ed [\'https://www.linkedin.com/in/ed-mead-frics-48232325/\'] first talked to front line practitioner Peter Ambrose [\'https://www.linkedin.com/in/peter-ambrose-294261/\'] in Dec 2020. So what has changed, if anything, in three years from a conveyancing perspective? As CEO of The Partnership [\'https://thepartnershiplimited.com/\'], with 48 lawyers and assistants, as well as a software business Legalito [\'https://www.legalito.co.uk/\'] (making tried and tested conveyancing software available to all), Peter is well placed to comment and usually doesn't hold back. There's some good empirical data in this discussion, as well as some home truths. Given the substantial amount of hot air delivered on the subject, an objective overview of what's REALLY happening 'behind the scenes' is overdue. Property Industry Eye article Ed refers to at the beginning: https://propertyindustryeye.com/would-no-sale-no-fee-conveyancing-help-speed-up-housing-transactions/ [\'https://propertyindustryeye.com/would-no-sale-no-fee-conveyancing-help-speed-up-housing-transactions/\']

Ed Talks to Ben Beadle - Recording straight after speaking with Government about issues & changes that are happening in the private rental sector

It's a hot topic - the private rental sector and what is happening with landlords? In this episode Ed talks [\'https://www.linkedin.com/in/ed-mead-frics-48232325/\'] to Ben Beadle [\'https://www.linkedin.com/in/benbeadle1/\'], CEO of The National Residential Landlords Association (NRLA) [\'https://www.nrla.org.uk/\']. The largest membership organisation for private residential landlords in England and Wales, supporting and representing over 100,000 members. Ben reminds us first that he's a landlord himself with a strong background in housing and property management, so plenty of insider knowledge to draw on. Interestingly - Ben actually met up with Ed to record this episode straight after speaking with Government about issues and changes happening in the PRS! So fresh from the big meeting, he was ready and open to discuss pressing topics such as Section 21 - at the end Ben is asked what he thinks being a landlord will look like in 24 months time.   Available to watch on YouTube.
