How would you like to know more about floorplans and how to reconfigure them to squeeze the maximum cashflow out of a property? Or to understand more about the role and value of an architect in UK property investing?
Do you know what makes a good architect or a good planning consultant? Or are you looking to create an all ensuite 6 bed or more HMO out of a poky 3 bed terrace?
Grant Erskine has been involved in property either as an investor or architect for over 25 years. In this episode, we discuss:
Analyzing Floor Plans for Property Investment
The need for accurate measurements and caution with estate agent floor plans.
The cost and feasibility of converting houses into 5, 6, or 7 bedrooms and the implications of planning approvals and thermal insulation.
The need for alternative exit strategies and stress testing financial plans.
The challenges of l-shaped dormers and identifying the minimum size requirement for 2 bedrooms.
The configuration of stairs in HMOs.
Techniques for lowering the 2nd floor to create height in the loft
Commercial to Resi - HMO conversions with apartments as a fallback plan
The problem with most planning consultants.
