PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP
25th & 26th March 2017 - Harrow
Who is this for?
Anyone looking to get into small scale property developing as an individual or group of friends or family. You may own property that has hidden development value or you may be looking to buy your first flat or house but want to buy smarter. You may own a commercial property that has potential.
This workshop is designed to give you a step-by-step guide to starting your first project. Helping you understand the work involved and the risk-rewards. Your approach must be to buy smart, learning to invest your time as much as your money. Learning to evaluate sites before buying or bidding and also learning to walk away. Learn 'there will always be another site, one that meets your needs, capacity and expectations, in the short or long term.
So whether you are a first-time buyer, retired, property owner, dentist, doctor or property investor you can still make money from developing with RIO of 25% to 50% P.A. or more based on your risk approach. Provided you have the time and resources, now is the best time to develop with borrowing to remain below historic rates, banks willing to lend and with continued housing shortages and a Government that's pro-development to help resolve this, not in one or two years but through the next decade.
Areas covered during the Workshop:
