Jeannette talks to Navead Yousaf, the founder and managing partner of Burgh Thorpe Solicitors. Navead shares his journey of setting up his own law firm and the challenges he faced along the way. He also discusses the current state of the property market, including the impact of the stamp duty holiday and the future outlook.

Navead additionally provides valuable advice for first-time buyers and investors, emphasising the importance of choosing the right solicitor and building strong relationships.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Setting up a law firm can be challenging, but with belief in oneself and hard work, it can be a success.
Recommendations and personal connections are important when choosing a solicitor or conveyancer.
The conveyancing process can be protracted and old-fashioned, with wet ink signatures and slow land registration.
The property market is experiencing mixed trends, with the first-time buyer market affected by the removal of the help to buy scheme.
As a business owner, it is important to juggle between being in the weeds and taking a macro perspective, and to be willing to adapt and learn in order to succeed.

BEST MOMENTS

"You either go for it, because if it failed, you know, and there's no guarantee any business will be a success. But you want to tell yourself you tried, and you gave everything."

"Recommendations is always the best, isn't it? And or if not try to find somebody localish to someone that you know you can pick up the phone and they can guide you."

"I'm enjoying it. I'm learning. you know, and taking it on board. But in 12 months time, or 12 to 18 months time, you know, I'm expecting to start to delegate a lot of these tasks out and kind of then just oversee."

"The best advice I received was, despite the challenges in the early days, you know, the advice I received was to go and set it up on your own. And that's exactly what I did."



This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.
