In this episode, Caroline Claydon talks to property investor, Jesper Frederiksen, who discusses the ways in which he has made the most of former bank buildings, turning them into residential units that produce huge wins for his property portfolio. KEY TAKEAWAYS In 2021, new measures were introduced, designed to transform high streets into a mixture of retail and residential. As banks are shuttering, there is now potential to turn these large unused units into housing. Bridging finance was sorely affected in the wake of COVID lockdowns, meaning rates changed dramatically. This has thankfully tempered and settled now. Pick your strategy and stick with it, rather than changing tack halfway. This will ensure that you are resolute and fixed upon a specific goal. Never discount the power of an effective power team. They can help you out when the challenges mount up, and see you through most setbacks. BEST MOMENTS 'It was challenging, but we stuck to it' 'Have a good team!'
