Bill, You have had great advice here - but something I was wondering (from what you seem to have suggested in previous posts) are you fed up with the tenants and the property? You have mentioned several times before about people going off and not…

Nope - I think that is spot on. And I'll put my money where my mouth is - if someone will buy me out at 5% yield (that seems to be the guideprice on local BTL) you won't see me for dust - CGT or no CGT. Kind Regards, Nick Renting Flats in London…

"Elastic Pricing" didn't come up on Google, but I haven't made it up. It's adjusting your prices to suit demand as practised by Easyjet, EasyInternet - by which I mean EasyInternetCafe etc etc. It's why Pimlico Plumbers can Charge £140/hr - when the…

Exactly Nick, that's how I see it. I can't see that the funding of all these properties is sustainable either as rented or owner occupied, they have got to be funded either way. It seems there might not be sufficient funding around to do this with c…

Thanks to all who replied. To clarify this is not for an investment I intend to make, rather it is for an article that I was tasked to write. Thanks to Nick as I have used some of your statements in the piece.

o & John, You forget that house prices are variable. If houses were to lose 75% of their value there would be no need for any mortgage funding whatsoever. All Mortgage Funding does is invest money (from abroad apparently) into property rather than…

Google announces launch of free property portal

In July 2009 Google launched a property search feature in Australia using its google map technology which allows people to look for property in their area. In the UK in excess of 90% of homes for sale and to Let are advertised via the website. Some websites claim as many as 80% of people find a home to let or buy via their websites. This is an ever growing figure. Currently Agents pay between £325 and £500 per site monthly for sites like Rightmove and Findaproperty, though some lesser known site… Continue

Who are YOU?

Who are you?

Not such a silly question as it sounds. You see – we can all tell everyone the basics. We all outline what our job is – what we’re planning to do today, this week, this quarter etc.

Trouble is – that’s not really good enough anymore. I was sat last night at an excellent event put on by Nick Tadd and Vanessa Warwick at Property Tribes (@4_Walls) where they explored the value of a portfolio of content on the web as being every bit as valuable as a portfolio of property.

Now – befor… Continue

Why do I keep attending events led by Nick Tadd?

In the recent weeks, I attended talks by various communication experts and authors of new books in "International Communications”. They presented “tasters” of their product, for the uninitiated, as ground breaking. To us in Networking, it is Social Media with the established methodology of blogs, Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter or combinations thereof.

However, from the case studies presented and answers to questions, I get the impression that they had just tried the various methods but have not… Continue

How to create great web video content ...

It is no secret that we live in an age of “information overload”. With more material being loaded onto the web in one day than someone would have been exposed to in an entire lifetime 500 years ago, there can be no doubt that we are entering the era of the “attention economy”. The explosion of new types of information online can be seen as a blessing and a curse. We both enjoy and drown in news, blogs, tweets, podcasts, photos, videos and interesting FaceBook pages. And the problem is only going to get worse, as more and more people discover the social web and start adding to it.

4walls/ecademy property and social media networking 23rd February 2010

This month, I will be helping you increase your knowledge of how to create a compelling and content rich blog that stands out from the crowd and helps you become known as an expert in your industry. It is widely believed that, in order to be considered an authority in whatever you do, it is vital to have a long running and popular blog. I will show you how tonight and give you some pointers as to thinking laterally to create compelling content that earns reader’s continued attention. Our event is attended by committed property and business professionals who all believe in networking for success, sharing information, and being supportive of others. We are a friendly bunch and everyone is welcome!
