    EP 15 - What to expect in 2025

    In the modern fast moving world of 24/7 news cycles where everything has to be summed up in 240 characters, it can be difficult to take the time to look ahead and forecast what's to come.   With all the electoral turmoil across the states and the potential impact upon our economy and more, Steven and I took a moment to sit down, take a breath and discuss what 2025 might bring.   We start with the macro world view and funel that down to how it may impact housing here in Scotland.

    Ep12 - Paul McDermott - what is a property factor

    If you or your family have lived in a tenement at any time in the West of Scotland you will have a pretty good idea about what a property factor is and what they do.  Elsewhere across Scotland it's likely that you'll know of the work of a factor if you live in modern flats or an estate of modern homes.  But for many a property factor may be a thing you've heard of but you're not really sure what it is - well we're here to explain.   Paul McDermott owns a property factor company and is a director of the trade body - The Property Manager's Association and he's on the podcast to explain all.

    Ep 11 - Stuart Patrick of Glasgow Chamber of Commerce

    Founded in 1783, Glasgow Chamber of Commerce is the oldest Chamber in the English speaking world with continuous records and has always been a driver of change and progress in the city.   Current CEO, Dr Stuart Patrick CBE, is a very vocal advovate and whilst his position is based upon what's best for his city, his comments will resonate among people across Scotland.   Recently Stuart has been making news in his comments about the recent Housing Bill and so we decided to have him as a guest on the podcast.   Hopefully you'll enjoy the chat between Brian, Steven and Stuart.
