Property Developers are used to making decisions based on a calculated risk. But in the current Coronavirus crisis, how should you proceed when buying a property at auction, or if you are part-way through a land purchase, or if you’ve spotted a great property development opportunity? Is now the time to hold back, take more precautions, or to drive forward with new opportunities? Property Forum hosted a ‘Development Special’ LIVE Chat Show podcast on Thursday 23rd at 12:00 midday to offer help, advice, and guidance from 2 seasoned, highly experienced developers.

Hosted by Property Forum’s CEO (multi-millionaire property investor, developer and For Dummies book author Nicholas Wallwork), alongside guest speaker John Howard (Accomplished property developer with 4 decades experience, Director of numerous successful property companies, author, event speaker and mentor), the podcast covered the following topics (as well as taking questions from the audience)…

• What property development strategies are more robust in today’s uncertain market?

• What development opportunities are likely to be available in the next 6-12 months?

• How do you spot a solid commercial investment at this time?

• If you are considering buying a plot of land to develop, should you continue with that purchase?

• If you’ve already purchased land or a building, should you start development work now, or should you wait? Equally, if you’ve already started development, should you hold off finishing the project?

• Is now the time to buy an auction property? What will the auction property market look like in the next 6-12 months?

With a combined 60+ years in property development, Nicholas and John gave their take and personal experiences of the property development market in the last few months, explaining the challenges they have personally faced and the new opportunities they have seen.
