The Right Move? The leading property podcast‪.‬ Andrew Simmonds

It seems like Simmo's dim (ish) view of open houses as a way to sell property didn't play out especially well.

Mainly in Devon.

Match Property's Nic Chbat is on to tell you why they work for him and what they can give to both vendor and buyer.

Not the best of news from Grafton Regis, as Alan's self build grinds to a halt ( wait, did we nick that from Kevin McCloud? )

Plus

Charlie Says tackles the Rightmove price index and Charlie isn't happy about it!

What could the link be between ITV and Purplebricks? This is the podcast that has the answer and there's a spooky tale from a particularly supernatural part of Somerset!

Selling Somerset brings on another house selling story that you won't hear anywhere else.

Want to see the most luscious architectural visualisations for your next dream build ?

Michael Hall of NVision Studios is your man.

They produce such stunning imagery that brings a house to life. We're glad to say that Michael is our guest this month - just wait until he talks about their most "out there" project!!

We're also tackling the question of Open Houses as a marketing / sales tool. Could it work for you? Simmo runs the rule over their potential to get your house sold.

Charlie Lamdin is back with us for a Charlie Says that analyses the latest outburst from Kevin McCloud and Alan the self builder is back on with news of Silver Birch Cottage.

Oh and if you've ever seen Selling Sunset, strap in for our own version - Selling Somerset!

28 week agreements - can there be any justification for them?

The argument to see the back of them is gathering pace and the voices against them are loud and convincing.

A sense that the sector has to change is in the air. Our guest John Durrant is proposing it has a complete overhaul and that a code of conduct should be driven by PropertyMark and RICS.

Simmo has his thoughts - and you're about to get them both barrels ( as long as he's not too busy thundering around a karting track!)

Self builder, pub owner and chef Alan Bonar-Drake has some news about the roof and porch and promises not to mention his Inglenook fireplace.

Charlie Says with Charlie Lamdin runs the rule over 28 week agreements; will he agree with John?

And

New rules around holiday lets - who will they help?

Hear it all on THE property podcast.

First time buyers are strong armed into a situation that benefits no one ( well apart from the big name, corporate estate agencies ). Vendors suffer, low grade call centre " conveyancers " screw it all up and reputable agents also get the brunt of it.

Conditional selling. It's a racket and Malcolm Davidson of UK Moneyman, Charlie Lamdin of Best Agent and of course, our very own Andrew Simmonds are calling it out for what it is.

Unethical, despicable and illegal.

So why are some still getting away with it?

Barclays and Santander have played their hand. What about the other lenders?

In a move that's seen as encouraging for remortgaging, we're bringing out this short special to further examine this latest news.

With a real life case study and an agency overview from Simmo, the leading property podcast leads the way.

Again.

Whether it's ripping out the bathroom or replacing a whole bunch of windows, the skip is the ultimate symbol of waste building material.

BUT

We've found the organisation that may be bringing about the untimely demise ( or certainly lessening the use ) of the skip.

The Rebuild Site in Carlisle has a great story to tell about commitment to the planet and the community. They even helped to realise the real Club Tropicana.

Emma Porter talks to us about sustainability in construction.

For all things self build, our friendly neighbourhood pub owner and chef Alan Bonar-Drake describes his site's progress and Charlie Says sees Charlie peering into his housing market crystal ball.

We also chat over the listings that either bounced or hopped feebly!
