Today's show is a great example of how the stuffy, slow-paced world of property can be disrupted by youth, by tech, and by actually thinking about the end users for once!

And as the co-founder of fashion phenomenon Pretty Little Thing, our guest today, Adam Kamani, knew exactly how to do that with his new swipeable property app: MoveStreets...

Adam is an award-winning property entrepreneur, start-up investor, mentor and CEO of Kamani Property Group and KM Capital.

Adam set up Kamani Property and then KM Capital in 2016, partnering with Stephen Morana (previously CFO at Zoopla & Betfair).

Adam has always believed that, in a fast-changing world, the next batch of entrepreneurs will come from the younger generation. KM Capital is a fund that aims to support young, dynamic businesses with a key focus on tech start-ups. They have already invested in a number of businesses that are mostly tech-driven or consumer-facing, that look to disrupt current ways of working.

The MoveStreets app not only allows you to discover the property market in a fun and easy way, but it also provides you with tons of useful information when searching for your new home. Property information including location, gallery, description, and an interactive map highlighting all the nearby essential destinations you might need to check before putting in that offer.

The app is fast and super easy to navigate. You can swipe right to like a property and swipe left if it’s not for you. Once you have liked a property, simply go to your liked area where you can book a viewing in one easy step, email or call the agents, or check out that stunning property a few more times. MoveStreets, the fun and exciting way for finding your new forever home!

In today's show, we hear the fascinating journey of a fascinating young man called Derek Mawhinney.

And it's a man who freely admits that he has no real interest in property.

For him, property is just a powerful and effective vehicle to enable him to do what he really targets: the bold and noble aim to lift and regenerate his home city of Dundee.

And Derek is managing to do that by combining massive finance with huge projects, and by listening to and working with the local city experts dealing with: mental health issues; drink and drugs abuse; unemployment; council projects and targets; apprenticeship schemes; housebuilders; and the city's business requirements.

And for Derek's special story, we've put together a very special show.  One where we not only speak with him in the studio, but then go on a road trip out to physically view one of his massive fascinating projects...
