1 in 3 properties that go under offer at the moment never complete.
So if you've missed out on a property, don't give up. Stay in touch with the agent and be ready to move quickly.
There's a good chance you'll get another opportunity when the sale falls through.

£100,000 to invest.
Would you buy:
🏠 A flat in Norwich
or
⌚ A Watch?
Investment isn't just about returns. It's also about the hassle factor.
What's your pick?

I had 9 planning applications in. Today I have 8.
Delighted to secure planning permission for 21 flats at the Grade II* Great White Horse Hotel in Ipswich.
A great milestone, but now the real work begins. 🏗️

Delighted to be speaking at The Property & Entrepreneur Summit, Milton Keynes, on 13th June.
I’ll be discussing two of my favourite topics: property trading & auctions.
Always a great event and it sells out fast.

41% of tenants say they’re happy with their landlords.
Only 41%?
There are a few bad landlords around, of course. But most provide quality homes.
And now 30% of renters say they never want to own property
Interesting times...

Twenty years ago SME developers built 33% of the UK’s housing stock.
Last year it was just 10%.
My latest video explains the 10 changes government must make if they are serious about fixing it.

Political uncertainty is never good for the property market.
But if you’re buying a home, don’t let short-term politics make long-term decisions for you.
People stay in houses for around 9 years on average. There will always be another crisis, election or scare story

People come up with endless excuses for why their house hasn’t sold. Usually it’s much simpler than that. If your property hasn’t sold in 6 to 8 weeks, it’s probably overpriced. Every property sells at a price & a buyer decides that price #houseprices

James came on my masterclass and asked me to look at a deal he’d found in Wales. Was it a waste of time driving all that way? Not at all. In fact, there may be a way to structure a purchase over several years that works for everyone involved!

£2 MILLION.
That’s the contract I’m awarding today at The Belfry.
Before you sign any building contract, make sure you have these 3 things:
✔️ A Schedule of Works from a surveyor
✔️ A Programme of Works showing week-by-week progress
✔️ A fixed-price JCT contract
Wish me luck.

Since March 2022, mainly residential #PlanningPermission in #Norwich has effectively been blocked.Around 2,000 homes affected, and now developers are being told to buy “nutrient credits” costing £4,000–£12,000 per unit just to move forward. Who suffers most? SME builders.

At a time we need more homes, this feels like blackmail. It's down to @NENorfolkSufflk
@NorwichCC time to sort it out

#EstateAgents are having a tough time right now, I know this is a pretty unpopular opinion!
It's taking an average of 17 viewings to find one buyer, and 30% of sales fall through. Even good agents might only sell half the properties they list

One of the biggest mistakes in property & in business is thinking the person you’re doing a deal with is the opposition. They’re not. The best deals are the ones where both parties walk away happy, and those are the deals most likely to complete. #PropertyInvestment

The Government has committed £39bn to #HousingAssociations over the next decade, with £4.9bn starting on 1st April.
There are three key ways that housing associations provide homes:
• social rent
• homes for key workers like nurses and teachers
• and shared ownership
