Do you want to be shown useful hacks and tips for planning permission and permitted development?
 

The two most popular questions I get asked daily are:

“What can I do with my property?”  
and
“I want to do xxx with my property, but I don't know how?”

 

As part of our property education, we developers are shown how to evaluate a building or site in terms of its commercial viability. We know how to calculate the gross value after development, we know rules regarding construction costs, we are taught how to find opportunities and how to create our team of professionals. We know how to present our appraisals to funders and partners and we have all studied our favourite property strategies.

 

However the one thing that isn't taught, which a vital piece of the puzzle...

“What can I do with my property?”

If you don't know what you can do with your property or land, 
then how can you get the best from it?


How do you get the best potential and profit?


How can you plan a course of action?

How much do you rely on planning professionals?

 

How many times do you need to ask them the same questions because each project is slightly different?

How many schemes and ideas could you evaluate if you had that vital but basic information?


How much time and money would you save?

 

If you present to your planning consultant or architect a clear idea of what can be done you will get much better, faster and precise results. They will know what you want from the start. They won't be using valuable time to see if your scheme is viable, only to find that it doesn't work or the costs don't stack up.  

I'm running a one-day workshop where I will show you how you can do this for yourself.
