I’m sick of hearing the same story from SME developers, investors & landlords. You find a deal, you take all the risk, you pour months into it, you solve everyone else’s problems, then when the numbers finally land… you’re squeezed from every angle. Materials up. Labour up. Finance up. Delays. Variations. Don't get me started on planning! Everyone wants paying faster, nobody wants to move on price, and somehow you’re the one expected to “make it work”. Then you hear the worst bit. People going bust, or making a tiny profit that is not even worth the stress, for what they’ve taken on. That’s exactly why we built the Property Developer Buying Club. Big national house builders do not win because they are smarter, they win because they buy better. Well, they have that power, don't they. They have negotiated rates with suppliers that most independents never get access to. So we went and negotiated national house builder style rates for SME developers, with some of the most trusted UK suppliers. Not gimmicks, not “maybe savings”, proper discounts on the materials and services you are already buying for your projects. If, like many of my friends and contacts in this industry, you’re fed up of getting punished for being independent, join the club and start buying like the big boys. Join the club - www.pdbc.uk
