Ed Talks - UK Property Podcast

There’s plenty of industry chatter about what needs to change in the world of conveyancing - the legal side of buying and selling property. But here’s the issue: while most people in the industry speak the lingo, those with the power to demand change often don’t... and are (often unintentionally) kept in the dark.

That’s why this conversation between Jamie Cole, Co-Founder of Conveynext, Sail Homes & Sail Legal, plus Jade Lacey, Director of Partnerships at Viewber, is well worth a listen.

They dig into what’s happening in conveyancing right now, what should change, and how it actually can change!

With the right tech, up to 90% of the process could be automated - but not everything can (or could) be done by AI.
Let's discuss...

A message from Ed - Build to Rent is a tiny sector at the moment - with perhaps c.150k units in a vast sea of property.

However, with private landlords (sadly) exiting the sector, and some developers struggling to sell stock, the ability of an experienced operator to manage large numbers of units by taking a chunk of a development is increasingly attractive and one way to maintain a sufficient flow of rental properties.

However, with pension funds always looking for long term safety and returns and a Gov't seemingly looking to increase housing stock, simply taking stock off developers isn't going to be anywhere near enough.

Step forward SFH, single family homes. Traditionally more difficult to manage en masse as they tend to be pepper potted about geographically. The majority of us live in a house, so we need more houses - and investing in portfolios of actual houses is a good way of doing it.

Smaller Estate Agents have usually struggled to get into land and new homes BUT, this rush to BTR and SFH could be a godsend to forward thinking agents. Investors are looking for portfolios, so if agents have intimate knowledge of their locale, one of their main assets surely, they must be able to seek out such housing and developments and put them to investors with a view to helping manage as well?

Great opportunity that Richard and I discuss in more detail - I think you'll find this seriously interesting...
