First time property developer UK week 3 - we document everything from start to finish
Will the skip ever turn up? In this weeks video there we carry on with the strip out of the building, install a working electrical supply so that we can safely remove the old electrics. The hoarding is up and we have interest form companies that want the rent the building before we have even started the refurbishment. #money #construction #propertydeveloper #property #mindset

In this video we start work on our first property development deal. I take you on a tour of the building as a record of what it looked like before the building works begin. We take delivery of our hoarding but end up having a 2hr round trip to collet a spanner!

In this video we complete on our first property development deal. I show you what else I do while waiting for the building work to begin and there are some out takes from filming, because I know I make it look easy but it's not! It's taken 18 months to get to this point from getting serious about taking the plunge, but it will still be a week or so until we get fully up and running. We will be ...

    Are you going to do a breakdown of all the costs etc? Enjoyed the video 👍👍

      Hi Billy yes we will talk costs. I think I will talk about them as we go through the weeks and probably do a stand alone video to pull them all into 1 place. We have worked on 30% profit before finance costs. The reason we’ve done it like this is because there are a lot of variables in the finance costs, but overall you want min 20% profit.

    Never seen a boom pump used like a line pump! How dumb waste of effort!! Boom truck should be in the air so you only have to move the hose were you need mud not dragged around behind you like a line pump🤷‍♂️

    • @StephenKnowlesProperty
      @StephenKnowlesProperty 8 วันที่ผ่านมา

      They are used like it all the time otherwise why would they carry 30+ metres of hose as a standard? Often you’ll be booming up to high and then running hose or through a window etc. Tbf the customer orders the truck and then we just turn up some customers don’t want to pay the money for the longer boom or they just get the length wrong or expect you to setup somewhere you can’t. it’s also still easier to move around the site and it also means you are less likely to damage the plastic on the side of the footing.

    Thanks for the comment, we will try to divert as much waste as possible from landfill. We will implement the waste hierarchy Reduce Reuse Recycle (I think there is a few more now days 😂). It was nice to be able to rehome a large number of the carpet tiles it was good for us and the people that collected had a little bonus of something free for their project.

    Thanks for sharing your journey and learning of property development! It will be interesting to see how an office building will be repurposed into residential properties. I was wondering if anything can be recycled and good that the tiles could be rehomed.
