Listen in and hear Marks in-depth discussion with Chattered Surveyor, Serial Property Investor & Master Class Trainer, Peter Jones. 

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 
Mark: How have you been growing your portfolio? 
Peter: Traditionally I’ve been investing in the North East but more recently I’ve purchased a plot of land which we were planning to build 5 terraced housing but due to some issues with planning that have taken over 2 ½ years to go through we have finally been settled on 3 bungalows with actually will generate us the same amount of profit and are cheaper to build so currently we’re now applying to remove the conditions and should have the foundations in before Christmas. The goal now is to have 2 or 3 projects running at the same time because of how long planning can take to go through.  

 
Mark: What investments have you been doing? 
Peter: As you know I owned one flat in a block of fourteen and it was a disaster, all fourteen were rented out and none of the owners could agree and it the whole block started to deteriorate so I was planning to sell. But in the end, I managed to get acquire four more flats and convince the other owners to secure the plot with a fence and make the area a lot nicer. Additionally to this, I have also been investing with my son-in-law in properties around Nottingham, mainly single-lets following the BRRR model.  

 

 

BEST MOMENTS“The whole planning system is a game and you just need to know more ways round” 
“More recently it’s taken me over 18 months to get planning consent”  
“The goal now is to have 2 or 3 projects running at the same time because of how long planning can take to go through” 
“Capital values have been rising in certain areas and the Midlands and the North are still playing catch-up to London price rises” 
“The property market is like a rollercoaster and property prices follow a ripple effect”
