The majority of people are good and honest but as a landlord, you are likely to come across some people who are not and in this episode, David takes us through the court proceedings he has recently been through with a tenant. He shares great content on how the process works and the paperwork the landlord needs to have in place. In the proceedings, the onus is on the landlord to prove the case so having the right information in place is vital. David also reflects on the current situation with the rental market as demand continues to rise and the availability of properties remains limited.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Through Covid, there has been an eviction ban and local bailiffs have not been able to work with landlords before 1 June 2021 The landlord has to prove their case and you have to have followed the process correctly The tenant doesn’t have to do anything at all they can be rude, disrespectful, lie and ignore you Submit your paperwork to the court, there is an initial unattended review followed by an attended hearing around 4 weeks later A suspended possession order means the tenant stays in the property, pays the rent going forward along with an agreed monthly amount towards the arrears Selected licence areas are those where you need a licence from the council to have a single buy to let There is a perfect storm at the moment with Section 24 and COVID meaning there are less properties available There are more people needing rental accommodation because they can’t afford to buy Rents have gone up and there are very few properties available to rent. Tenants are offering future rent and guarantors to secure properties As a deal packager when you are putting together a deal make sure you are reflecting the right numbers.   BEST MOMENTS ‘The government may have thought they were helping tenants but they’ve made it worse’ ‘There are more people needing rental accommodation because they can’t afford to buy and less rental accommodation available’ ‘The demand for properties currently is extraordinary’   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Property Sourcing Profits Podcast https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/ https://unlimited-success.co.uk/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/progressivepropertycommunity/ Property Investors podcast   ABOUT THE HOST David is a property expert with over 25 years’ experience and his own portfolio of 26 units.

Update on Possession Hearings with My Reluctant Tenants PLUS What’s Going On in the Rental Market?

From 1 June bailiffs are permitted to work again for private landlords and David explains his court proceedings with a reluctant tenant providing great information and advice for landlords He highlights the importance of being all over your repairs and why following the procedure and ensuring you have the right paperwork in place is key. This episode is a great opportunity to hear exactly how the process works and about the help that is available.   KEY TAKEAWAYS The judge has mandated due to the money arrears it’s not about the condition of the property. The duty solicitor did it by the book, checking everything from the dates to the procedure followed There was no evidence re the issues the tenant raised in the court on the day The solicitor was very professional and took an opinion on what was happening If any issues are raised at a hearing the judge will look at;                          The value of the repairs                     The value of the outstanding rent                     Whether the value of the repairs would reduce the rent so it’s below two  months outstanding.

Me versus My Reluctant Tenants

Tenants are a key part of any deal packaging proposal and David shares some great tips about how the property market is changing. Rents have been stuck for a significant amount of time but now they are on the rise and as a deal packager you need to understand the impact of Section 24, why there are fewer rental properties available and why it’s vital you have up to date rental figures for your area to make sure you are presenting the best opportunities to investors.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Being a buy to let landlord is a business Incrementally section 24 has meant you can subtract less and less mortgage interest The presentation can make a difference to the level of rent and the ceiling level for rent is not determined by the street. The buy to let market has contracted since 2016 but with government incentives, the property market as a whole has continued to grow On average in the last year rents have risen by 6% There are fewer rental homes available which has impacted rents The long term impact of there being fewer rental properties is now being felt by tenants Tenants going into the property market looking to rent have approximately 50% of the choice they had two years ago A contraction in the market and fewer rental opportunities mean that tenants are seeing rising rents Make sure you have the up to date rental figures for your area   BEST MOMENTS ‘Section 24 has started a metaphorical fire in the rental market’ ‘Make sure you know the market rent and don’t be afraid to put it up’   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Property Sourcing Profits Podcast https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/ https://unlimited-success.co.uk/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/progressivepropertycommunity/ Property Investors podcast   ABOUT THE HOST David is a property expert with over 25 years’ experience and his own portfolio of 26 units.

Tenants, Love them or Not They are Key in Deal Packaging

The market is hot how do you give value to your investors? David shares great content from his deal packaging Mastermind group who have been discussing how as a deal packager you can give value to your investors when the market is hot. Multi-letting serviced accommodation and tenant buyers are all strategies to consider and could be what makes the difference in securing value for your investors.   KEY TAKEAWAYS At the moment the yield rates may not be great with buy to lets With single buy to let you need to use your education and make use of your mentors How can you increase the rent role so that investors enjoy a great opportunity? Look at multi letting - subject to making it legal and safe the rooms could be let individually and the gross yield goes up. Serviced accommodation -  a smart single let house where you have ‘guests’ and can increase the income Tenant buyers - find people who want to buy further on in time but will rent now Engineer the payments so every month there is an overpayment towards the deposit It’s a win for the investor because they get a higher return It’s a win for the tenant as they will get on the property ladder It’s a much overlooked strategy   BEST MOMENTS ‘The market is hot, hot, hot’ ‘A single buy to let can become very attractive with a tenant-buyer in it’   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Property Sourcing Profits Podcast https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/ https://unlimited-success.co.uk/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/progressivepropertycommunity/ Property Investors podcast   ABOUT THE HOST David is a property expert with over 25 years’ experience and his own portfolio of 26 units.

A Good News Episode....well mainly

David shares his perspective on repayment and interest-only mortgages and explains what his current strategy is. With an interest-only mortgage over time inflation can come to your rescue and with the pandemic causing a massive shock to the economic system, some expert opinions say that it will be inflation that will ultimately eat away at the debt. The value of property goes up over time, rents go up over time but in effect, the value of the mortgage is less over time meaning inflation could be the magic element for your property portfolio moving forward.   KEY TAKEAWAYS When you purchase property you are investing in bricks and mortar and hoping the value will go up over time It’s a much more efficient use of your cash to go interest only With an interest-only mortgage over time inflation will come to your rescue There is huge pent up spending power, assets will be purchased and go up in value and this will eat away at the coronavirus debt With inflation, property prices go up but if you have a mortgage debt  it  stays the same You can follow the inflationary rise of the property and keep drawing money out as the value increases. The value of the debt is eaten away by inflation The value of the property goes up over time, rents go up over time but in effect, the value of the mortgage is less over time Over time inflation will be pushing up the value of your property and in real monetary terms decreasing the value of the loan with rents going up When you are property portfolio building interest-only mortgages are a good way to go There is a magic in the effect of  inflation over time on your property business   BEST MOMENTS I’m leaning towards inflation going up, I can’t see how it can do anything else Asset inflation makes heroes of us all I’ve seen significant inflation before   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Property Sourcing Profits Podcast https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/ https://unlimited-success.co.uk/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/progressivepropertycommunity/ Property Investors podcast   ABOUT THE HOST David is a property expert with over 25 years’ experience and his own portfolio of 26 units.

Repayment or Interest Only. Which mortgage is right for me?

Estate agents currently have the lowest stock since 1982 so in this episode, David goes through exactly how to find properties and generate leads without going through an estate agent. To generate viewings you need to be able to get in contact with people and there are a range of ways to do this if you know where to look. As a deal packager, you need properties and deals and it all begins with getting enough leads.   KEY TAKEAWAYS If you get enough leads you will get a deal, 30 leads will usually bring 7 or 8 viewings and potentially one deal. Look for leads on Spare Room, Open Rent, Gumtree and Facebook Marketplace because you get a point of contact with the landlord This could be an opportunity for rent to rent for serviced accommodation, multi-let or a lease option. If you get leads you can change them into deals Extract the data from the sites online and then get in touch with people You can WhatsApp or text to try and get a viewing but keep it short and sweet. If you send enough messages you will get responses The purpose is to get an appointment for a viewing EIG have information from every auction site in the country and list all the unsold lots. Find out about the unsold lots, there are deals for your investors in there.   BEST MOMENTS ‘Not since 1982 has the amount of housing stock that estate agents have been so low’ ‘Test and measure which messages get the best responses’ ‘With Gumtree, you get a phone number and an email address’   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Property Sourcing Profits Podcast https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/ https://unlimited-success.co.uk/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/progressivepropertycommunity/ Property Investors podcast   ABOUT THE HOST David is a property expert with over 25 years’ experience and his own portfolio of 26 units.

Estate Agents are being mean to me! How do I find my deals?

Getting the numbers right is crucial to success in deal packaging. In this episode, David discusses the fact that the majority of valuations he sees are incorrect and shares great succinct advice and tips on how to work on your valuation skills and get the numbers right. If you can compare like with like, understand the sold comparables and accurately estimate refurbishment costs then you will be able to improve your valuation skills and get more deals.                                                        KEY TAKEAWAYS What can you do to improve your valuation skills? You can only make comparisons with something that is similar Where there are sold comparables look at a range, not just the best. The information is all available online so it will be checked through due diligence by the potential investor If you want a yield driven valuation in the current market you need to be in an Article 4 area, it’s got to be 6-bed plus and preferably in a property that isn’t a family home set up. It’s got to no longer flow as a family home due to the alterations made You need to accurately understand and estimate the refurbishment costs especially with conversions to HMO’s Make sure you compare like with like, work out from the sold comparables what you think a house is worth if there are any odd-looking numbers then highlight them We work on an average of 6-10 thousand per room Focus on the bricks and mortar family home values   BEST MOMENTS ‘An HMO has got to no longer flow as a family home due to the alterations made’ ‘When there are a lot of pictures you can tell it’s a property that the owners are proud of’ ‘You have to compare like with like’   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Property Sourcing Profits Podcast https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/ https://unlimited-success.co.uk/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/progressivepropertycommunity/ Property Investors podcast   ABOUT THE HOST David is a property expert with over 25 years’ experience and his own portfolio of 26 units.

When you have an appointment to visit you have the opportunity to make a deal. Deflect, turn the objection away and move the lead forward. You can be thrown off course if you are unprepared.

What can you do about tenants not paying? David shares his current journey serving a Section 8 notice and the ensuing process leading to a court hearing. Currently, the government have made it challenging for landlords who have tenants who just won’t pay and there is great advice in this episode on the Section 8 process with practical tips and clear content on exactly what to expect throughout the process including understanding the time it takes to compile the required documentation.   KEY TAKEAWAYS The government have hamstrung us and closed off many avenues You can serve a Section 8 notice and go through the court process. You can’t do anything until the tenant has accrued substantial arrears which is usually 6 months or more. With Section 8 you get possession and the judge has very little discretion if you can prove the tenant is more than 6 months in arrears, they have to give possession. You get both possession and a money order for the amount outstanding and a daily rate that is in force from the date of court to the date of possession. With substantial arrears, you can make an application to the court The court can request documentation to be with them a minimum of 14 days before the hearing. Requested documentation has to be sent both by post and electronically to the tenant. Documentation required by the court includes particulars of the claim, tenancy agreement, payment history, a statement of information about the defendants’ situation ( the tenant’s ability to pay and a statement about the effect of Covid on the defendant and their dependants. Tenants can have their own legal representation or use the legal representation available at court on the day   BEST MOMENTS ‘The initial review is to decide when the full hearing will take place’ ‘It is a significant intellectual exercise’ ‘I’m on the journey now, but it’s not resolved yet’   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Property Sourcing Profits Podcast https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/ https://unlimited-success.co.uk/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/progressivepropertycommunity/ Property Investors podcast   ABOUT THE HOST David is a property expert with over 25 years’ experience and his own portfolio of 26 units.

Going Through The Possession Process In 2021

In the recent Budget, the location of eight new Freeports were announced and David looks at what a Freeport is and the positive impact freeport areas have on an area. With the generation of infrastructure and favourable planning along with benefits such as favourable customs duties and low or zero VAT rates, there are many positives in a Freeport area. If you are deal packaging there is great potential and opportunities that should not be missed.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Freeports are usually located around shipping ports or airports The Solent Freeport will incorporate a large geographical area and could generate 52,000 jobs. The Teesside  Freeport will be huge with 46 geographical areas connected with the Freeport with an estimated 3.4 billion boost to the economy. A freeport generates a huge amount of infrastructure spending Benefits for these areas include favourable customs duties, low or zero VAT rates There is simplified planning or a suspension of planning in these areas. Property prices as a result of freeports will be strong. Property opportunities in the Midlands are going to be exciting If you are in the East Midlands, Felixstowe, Harwich, Humber, Liverpool and City, Plymouth, Solent, Thames or Teesside now is the time for great opportunities.

Your Property Business Going Forward

David is currently packaging a ‘Lifetime Interest’ deal and in this episode explains how this type of deal can be a positive for both the beneficiary and the investor. For an investor who wants to invest in a secure way with a great uplift that is both significant and inevitable in a way that can only be achieved with bricks and mortar, this is a strategy that is worth a look at.   KEY TAKEAWAYS A lifetime interest is a document that means the surviving person can remain in the property rent-free. If you have cash in today’s market  you can put your money into bricks and mortar and increase the value of your money overnight You have an asset that you can’t access but it continues to increase in value. You don’t know what’s going to happen in the future but if you have cash and don’t know what to do with it then bricks and mortar is always going to be desirable When packaging this type of deal the beneficiaries get their money out and the lifetime tenant doesn’t have to move. The investor gets an uplift from day one and when the property is sold, achieves a good increase for the money invested. If you have money that you want to invest in a secure way why wouldn’t you look at lifetime interests?   BEST MOMENTS ‘The uplift is inevitable and significant’ ‘Lifetime Interests – an interesting strategy for the times we are in’ There is no-where elsewhere you can get that kind of increase’   VALUABLE RESOURCES  Property Sourcing Profits Podcast https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/ https://unlimited-success.co.uk/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/progressivepropertycommunity/ Property Investors podcast   ABOUT THE HOST David is a property expert with over 25 years’ experience and his own portfolio of 26 units.
