Hey everyone, Rob B here with Rob D and you are listening to the property podcast. I'm going to say

something that is a big claim, but I feel very confident that we will deliver on this.

By the end of this episode today, if you listen to what we talk about and follow along, you will

feel that this is the most valuable podcast that you've

listened to from us this year and maybe any podcast you've listened to this year.

It's a big claim, but we have got so much value to deliver to you this week.

I can't wait for you to listen and be inspired.

Welcome to the Property Podcast.

In case you don't know, we run a business that arranges more than £100 million worth of property deals for our clients every year.

You can find out about that at property hub.net slash invest.

And within our business, as well as personally, we're going big on AI. Why? Because it's crazy not to. If you can get things done faster to a better quality and have valuable insights coming out of your ears, why would you not do that? And in this episode, we're not just going to inspire you by sharing all the things that you can do to make your property life better and easier, but we're going to give you the step-by-step instructions for how to do it as well. So what's probably going to be the biggest news story of the week is the resignation of Kirstama as leader of the Labour Party, which means we're going to have another prime minister and another leadership contest. So at the time we're recording this, this has just happened. So we're going to save the analysis for next week. What does a new prime

minister mean for property investors? What can we expect to happen? What are some of the suggestions on the

table? We'll get into all of that in next week's episode. But first, Rob, there's something else that

quarter eye on the news this week. This week's news story comes from Savils. And you may have heard

of the Bank of Mum and Dad. Well, they've extended it out further have heard of the Bank of Mum and Dad. Well, they've

extended it out further. It's the Bank of Mum and Dad or possibly the Bank of Grandad and Grandma,

because Savals are reporting that half a first-time buyers receive direct financial support

from family members to help them get on the property ladder,

which I suppose isn't shocking, Rob, because people know that this happens. But as much as half,

that's quite a staggering number. And it shows that while property is affordable, it is,

compared to where it has been for a long, long time. Making that first step

to get on the property ladder, to become an owner of a property is still really, really hard work.
