    68: The Cowboy Builder Crackdown – Good Idea or More Red Tape?
    2026/09/06
    Jonathan and Kieron dissect the Prime Minister's pledge to combat "cowboy builders" and the proposed government-run escrow portal designed to protect £10 billion in lost industry funds. Instead of relying on slow bureaucratic systems, they outline practical ways to use JCT contracts and independent surveyors to securely manage project capital and protect both contractors and clients. KEY TAKEAWAYS Redefining the Problem: The industry term "cowboy builder" often masks the reality of deliberate fraud. The property sector suffers equally from deceptive contractors and rogue clients intentionally withholding payments. Government Overreach: While a central portal holding project funds in escrow sounds ideal, placing this massive administrative burden on the government risks severe payment bottlenecks and bureaucratic mismanagement. Utilize Existing Protections: Developers do not need a new government system to stay safe. Standard JCT contracts combined with independent contract administrators or quantity surveyors (QS) already provide robust, milestone-based payment security. Mutual Due Diligence: Trust goes both ways. Clients must verify a contractor's past work and licenses, while builders should request proof of funds before breaking ground on any major project. BEST MOMENTS "I don't like the saying 'cowboy builder'... these are con people, con men. This is a fraudster." "The government do not need to see the transaction of money in jobs. I just don't think they do." "If you're asking me to do the work, fine, show me the money. Show me that you can afford to do it." "We all got to take responsibility for our actions effectively... Don't let yourself be duped."

    67: You Asked, We Answered: Property Development Q&A
    2026/08/30
    In this episode of the Property Developers Playbook, Kieron and Jonathan dive into a Q&A format, addressing key questions from their listeners about property development. They discuss the importance of contingencies in development finance, emphasising the need for a reserve fund to cover unforeseen costs. KEY TAKEAWAYS Contingency Planning: Developers should factor in a contingency of 10% for build costs to cover unforeseen expenses. This reserve acts as a safety net for unexpected costs or changes during the development process. Importance of Neighbour Relations: Building good relationships with neighbours is crucial in property development. Early communication, such as introducing oneself and providing contact information, can help mitigate complaints and foster a cooperative environment. Retention in Contracts: Developers typically hold back a percentage (usually around 3-5%) of payments to contractors as retention. This serves as a safeguard to ensure that any issues or incomplete work can be addressed after practical completion. BEST MOMENTS "Typically 5-10% of whatever your build costs are, more on the 10% side. I think the 5% days are long gone." "You should always start from day one building that relationship with your neighbours. It's all about relationships." "If contingencies aren't enough that you've allowed for and things are still going over, you've got to value engineer it always anyway."

    66: Master the Pitch: How to Present Property Deals to Vendors and Investors
    2026/08/23
    In this episode, Kieron and Jonathan give an update on their latest development projects before diving deep into the art of presentation in property development. They discuss how you present yourself, your offer proposals, and your deal opportunities can make or break a deal with vendors, estate agents, and investors. KEY TAKEAWAYS Avoid Flippant Email Offers: Simply emailing a single cash figure without context or backing comes across as throwaway and lacks substance. Offer Multiple Options and Total Transparency: Including several purchase options along with clear conditions helps validate your price and manage risk. Keep Investor Packs Focused: Investors want to know their money is secure, how risks are mitigated, and what returns to expect. You Are the Main Selling Point: Authenticity and personal integrity are crucial. Trying to pitch a persona you aren't won't hold up under scrutiny, so align your personal behavior and social media presence with the professional image you project. Build Relationships Over Multiple Touchpoints: Deals are rarely closed on a document alone. Scheduling coffee meetings, site walkthroughs, and lunches builds the essential "know, like, and trust" factor required for long-term success. BEST MOMENTS "People buy into people. Especially the more AI comes into it, I think relationships—the way we communicate with each other—it's a huge thing." "Don't just send an email saying 'here's our offer' of £450k with no context... that has no substance, and that's how it's going to be received." "If you're honest with yourself... if you try to pitch a lie or try to be someone you're not too much, that's going to show. People can read that straight away." "You're not going to get a confirmed decision from the investor pack. All it is is an opportunity to have a sit down and chat about it." "Keep calm, trust your numbers, trust your process, and don't put too much pressure on yourself."
