Episode 73 Avoiding Cowboy Builders

Spot a Cowboy Builder Before They Cost You Everything. As the property developer everything is your fault, set your project up for success because poor systems can turn a good builder into a cowboy builder. They paid £80,000. The builder had done £30,000 of work. No contract. No agreed payment terms. No valuation schedule. And they had absolutely no idea until it was far too late. In this episode, Phil sits down with Tim, 20 years in project management and estimation, for a straight-talking, no-nonsense guide to protecting your UK property development from the ground up. Whether you're converting a commercial unit, running an HMO refurb or managing your first development project, this one could save you thousands. Here's what we cover: Why anyone in the UK can call themselves a builder, and what that means for your project The red flags that reveal a cowboy builder before they even start The steps to take if a builder is already on site and it's going wrong The real difference between good, poor and cowboy performance This isn't theory. This is 20 years of hard-won experience, condensed into one episode.

Episode 70: How Property Management Increases Value

Properties especially HMOs and serviced accomodation only get capital appreciation and increase in value with proper property management. So much focus goes on the renovation but it’s what happened next over the longer period that sustains the investment. In this technical episode, we are joined by Amber Chadwick, co-director of inVest Multilet Property Management, to talk about what it really takes to maintain your financial freedom after the project is complete. We discuss why the right property management team, strong systems, tenant quality, void avoidance and responsive maintenance can make the difference between a profitable asset and a stressful burden. Because financial freedom is not just about owning property. It’s about owning property that gives you back your time, protects your cash flow and does not take over your life.
