Hey everyone, Robby here with Rob Dee and you are listening to the Property Podcast.

This week we do something that we've never done before.

We reveal to you deals that we've put together over the last few months.

And each of these deals is completely unique.

It's completely different.

We've gone at it with a different angle.

But I think you're going to be surprised by what we've been able to put together over the last few months.

Welcome to the Property Podcast. Thank you for joining us. In case you don't know, we run a

business that buys more than 100 million pounds worth of property for our clients every year. You can find out about that at property hub.net slash invest. And today, we are lifting the curtain. We're showing you three of the best deals we've done over the past year to share our thinking about what we look for when we invest and to inspire you with what's possible. So it's time for our new story of the week now. And Rob, I like the

headline. So normally I say let's go beyond the headlines, but I'm happy to stop with the

headline because the headline of this week's news story says, mortgage rates may have reached

their peak, says money facts. Well, I hope money facts are right, Rob. But don't worry,

everyone, we have read beyond the headline. Yes, and stabilised is the word, because over the past week, rates have not been coming down. Well, they've come down by 0.01% but they have stopped increasing, and they're increasingly more buy-to-let products on the market. So all those deals that are being pulled because prices were all over the place, they're now finding their way back on, meaning if you are taking out a mortgage or refinancing at the moment, you're going to have more options. And the person from Money Facts says that sentiment is improved, swap rates are coming down, and there are few expectations for base rate hikes. So all sounding good, Rob, but mortgages are the hot topic of the moment. So make sure you're listening to the podcast over the next couple of weeks because we've got a mortgage broker coming on to the show to give you the inside story and tell you exactly what you should be thinking about right now. As we say at the top of every episode, every year we help our clients buy over £100 million pounds worth of UK property. That is a lot of property, which means that our team gets to see more deals

than pretty much anyone else. Funny thing is, we tend not to talk about it that much on the podcast.

It's quite unusual that we talk about specifics of deals that we've done, probably because

we don't want to come across, so it's not pushing our service. But this week we're going to make

an exception, because we think it's important that you know

what's possible in today's market. We've talked a lot recently about how it's a buyer's market,

how there are great deals to be done, how everyone else switching off or getting scared,

means the opportunities are there. So to really bring that to life, we're going to show you

three deals that we've done, three of our best from the last 12 months. Not to try and sell you on these deals, these are all long since gone, but to show you our thinking, show you what we look for in an opportunity, and to hopefully inspire you a little bit and show you what's possible. And we'd love your feedback once you've listened to this episode, like Rob said in all the years way over 10

now that we've been doing a podcast we've never ever revealed our deals to you before and again to
