You've bought an investment property, or you're planning to?

Ok. Quick question...

Have you bought a house, a home, a property, or an asset?

All just words of course.

But the one you choose will say a lot about your mindset as an investor.

If you chose any of the 1st three words, then you maybe have a hobby. Or an interest. Or a side hustle.

If you chose 'asset', then you might just be an actual INVESTOR.

Serious. Professional. Focused.

And if you are indeed an investor, buying assets, growing portfolios, generating revenue, and building a legacy for your nearest and dearest...then you better make sure you're PROTECTING them! All of them.

Insurance is a boring word; we're talking about several layers of PROTECTION here.

Simon Massey, from Express Mortgages, is a specialist with a wealth of experience.

There's not much that Simon hasn't seen with investors and investments.

Sadly, some of those have been sad tales of assets being lost, businesses not being structured properly, tax being overpaid, and families left with a LIABILITY rather than a LEGACY.

Let's have less of those sad tales please!

Let Simon help you. Help protect your assets. Help protect you. And help protect what you've built for your loved ones.

In today's chat, the conversation goes everywhere.

From the most obvious, like Buildings Insurance, to the more specialist and more obscure.

And to questions that you might not even have known to ask yourself.

Tune in to watch or listen to Simon's wisdom when it comes to protecting the things you've worked hard for, and the people that you're doing it all for...

Where is the prime place in the UK to face, experience, challenge and enjoy “the game” of property, planning, building and development?

It has to be London, yes?

And the ‘spear’ for facing that battle needs to be credible and powerful. So how about the iconic name of Barratt?

And for the tip of that spear, you’re going to need someone who has seen it all.

Experience and expertise in the game for over 20 years.

Knowledge of planning and development inside companies from SME developers to giant PLCs.

Experience of residential-led volume developments, tricky brownfield sites, mixed-use projects, and major regeneration programmes.

But they can’t just be a Solo Star.

They have to enjoy building partnerships and relationships. Seeing the best and the opportunity in others.

A track record of forming partnerships that find solutions, solve problems, and bring award-winning homes to the people and families that come to live in the end home or the constructed leisure space.

Someone who doesn’t just know and excel in the detail, planning, design and construction with success and financial figures. But who actually cares about the residents and tenants involved. And takes actual joy from travelling past sites that he’s been responsible for building years before.

Someone who thinks about the now and the present, but also thinks about the future and legacy.

That person just happens to be today’s guest, Mr Craig Carson, the Managing Director at Barratt West London…

When your iconic real estate brand is already well established in the UK for over 200 years, where can you take it?

That’s right. Everywhere else!

The Chestertons brand has been thriving in the UK since 1805.

Chestertons Global sits within that wider brand, as a network of leading international real estate companies.

And you need a global expert to lead that expansion around the world.

In steps today’s guest, Parikshat Chawla as Head of Operations for Chestertons Global.

A self-confessed “Global Nomad,” Parikshat and his wife had already lived a rich life of travel, working and staying in many different parts and cultures around the world.

With over 20 years of experience in the global real estate sector, he has worked with diverse and multi-national companies across the world, delivering innovative and effective solutions to market and sell properties globally.

And he’s put that experience to good use, leading Chestertons Global’s expansion and management of the affiliate and franchise network, overseeing various functions such as marketing, servicing, technology, and business development.

Things are certainly going well.

The firm has enjoyed a legacy of success and now has a strong global network in more than 10 countries, offering a comprehensive range of client services, from property sales and lettings to commercial services and investment advisory.

And Parikshat has no intention of stopping or slowing that expansion.

In today’s show, he talks about his personal experience, the business growth, the challenges and the milestones, networking, PropTech, the digital economy, and much more…
