week so today's video is in association
[39]
with the refurbishment masterclass run
[41]
by the highly regarded Martin and Sarah
[44]
raptly and I've managed to persuade them
[46]
to let me give away five of their
[49]
amazing PDF FAQ sheets
[51]
they've on how to write project
[53]
specifications putting together budgets
[55]
how to appoint builders working with
[58]
builders and managing your time line of
[60]
works these are incredible resources and
[64]
I've put a link to each of them at the
[65]
end of this video ok so tip number one
[69]
always work backwards from the gross
[72]
development value or gdv when
[75]
calculating a purchase price it's the
[77]
very best way to work out what you
[80]
should be paying for a property or a
[82]
building plot and be realistic about
[85]
this gross development value in fact can
[87]
I suggest perhaps being a little bit
[89]
pessimistic when calculating this figure
[92]
next just because of property needs
[95]
refurbishing that doesn't automatically
[97]
make it a good deal if you spot a
[100]
property that appears to be say 20,000
[104]
pounds below market value if you think
[107]
gotta spend say 30,000 pounds doing it
[110]
up that's not a deal and unless you can
[114]
add some real tangible value in some
[117]
other way for example say building in
[120]
the back garden I would suggest you
[122]
should be looking for another project
[124]
just because a plot has planning that
[127]
doesn't guarantee you a profit or that
[130]
the property can even be developed at
[132]
all for that
[133]
matter obviously you need to do your
[136]
research carefully and dare I say if the
[139]
agent is offering up some fairly
[141]
persuasive numbers for example the gross
[144]
development value keep in mind the agent
[147]
makes a commission if you buy and so
[149]
personally I would suggest putting more
[152]
faith in your own numbers rather than
[155]
theirs always have a scheduler works if
[160]
you don't know what you want how does
[162]
the Builder and just as importantly how
[164]
can you possibly have a realistic budget
[167]
you can't build from planning drawings
[171]
it's therefore impossible for builders
[173]
accurately price from them your
[176]
architect needs to produce building reg
[179]
drawings before you go and get any
[182]
prices don't be afraid to outsource to
[185]
experts
[186]
honestly they will save you thousands in
[189]
the long term you don't have to appoint
[192]
the cheapest builder work with the best
[195]
builder on any one project you can only
[198]
achieve two of the following three items
[201]
you can get high quality fast turnaround
[205]
or low cost and our advice is to aim for
[208]
high quality and fast turnaround if you
[212]
possibly can by the way if you're
[215]
finding this video helpful I wouldn't
[216]
love it
[217]
if you could let me know by clicking on
[218]
the thumbs up button below it would
[220]
really help me if that's okay delaying
[224]
the project was trying to beat down the
[226]
price can cost you more in the longer
[228]
term than what you're trying to save
[231]
delays tend to swallow up your profits
[234]
as the financing costs on any given
[236]
project are generally quite high always
[240]
agree terms with your builder before the
[243]
work starts and write them down for both
[246]
parties to keep a record off and on
[248]
larger projects don't be afraid to use a
[251]
formal contract and lastly I've got to
[254]
ask you this question is project
[257]
managing the works really the best use
[260]
of your time and skills or might your
[262]
time be better spent going out looking
[264]
for that next
[266]
