π§β¨ OPPORTUNITY ALERT! β¨π§ Perseverance or perfect timing? Maybe a bit of bothβ¦ π Iβve been eyeing a boarded-up property for YEARS πποΈ. Researching, Land Registry, speaking to other businesses in the area, DTV letters with no responses π Fast-forward to yesterday: Iβm driving past & happened to be stuck at the traffic lights, spotting fresh scaffolding and thinking, βGreatβ¦ missed my chance! π€― But then a builder strolls out of the gates, with a sharply dressed older gentleman. π©π οΈ π‘ I decided to park up & go & introduce myself, and thankfully yes he was the owner, which saved my embarrassment π€£ & I found out he owns not one, but BOTH buildings. What a bonus ππ‘βπ‘ After a short conversation it turns out planning permission has him stuck. I asked him what heβs plans were & he asked me what I would do with it. I said I would like to convert some of the property into accessible affordable homes & he liked the idea, so i subtly pitch a joint venture, or possibly buying it off him, so we swapped numbers, he told me he would get heβs son to call me as he is overseeing the project currently and now fingers crossed! π€π₯ Moral of the story: πΈ Donβt quit until the door is really closed. πΈ βNoβ today can be βMaybeβ in 3, 6, even 12 πΈ Keep showing up, as you never know when the stars (and scaffolding!) will align. π Are you looking to sell a Commercial, Mixed Use or Holiday Complex/Portfolio in the UK? please get in touch.
