The show returns, and in this episode Mark Winship talks to Gill and Darren Green, to tell us all about their latest commercial investment project - everything from they raised the necessary finance and the strategies involved, to how the project progressed from the start. KEY TAKEAWAYS Choosing the correct area is essential, especially when it comes to commercial development. It's about identifying a need and supplying a commercial solution for that area. One of the defining characteristics that all property developers need to embrace is the ability to adapt to any challenge. A background in residential development is not necessary when it comes to commercial, but it can help. The various strategies involved can be similar, such as buy-to-let. It's always worth working on the installation of essential services from the very beginning of the deal, instead of waiting till near completion. Time scales and estimates can sometimes take much longer than you think. BEST MOMENTS 'We felt there was a growing market for small office space' 'We've got a passion for it!' 'Regulation is something people fear' 'It's more about having that foundation' VALUABLE RESOURCES This Property Life - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/this-property-life-podcast/id1540075591 Property Wealth System YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/PropertyWealthSystem ABOUT THE SHOW This Property Life is hosted by the team at Property Wealth System.
