Commercial Property Investor Podcast

Jerry catches up, once again, with Tony Freeth to discuss the  specific considerations of internet access for smaller multilet properties and how Tech and supplier provision has evolved over the past year. Tony has been working in the workspace industry for a long time. He has a particularly good knack of translating high level tech talk in a way that makes it accessible & understandable to all.  If you are just starting out in Flexible space and multilet properties, internet access can be a bit of an afterthought but to get a good symmetrical fibre connection takes time and is an  important investment. Tony and Jerry talk through how you can take advantage a good internet connection at a lower price than ever. It can give you a great marketing edge as well as providing an essential part of the modern workspace consumers diet.  Great internet access and ease of access is a must for any CMO,  coworking or serviced office space.

Some Landlord investors can make the mistake of launching straight into offering Flexspace without thinking through the different skill sets required.  Being a Commercial property investor is one thing, but the process of purchasing the right property, designing the space, developing it out and then operating a Flexspace on a day to day basis is a tangled web of decision making that could make or break the project. Compliance, space optimisation, fire regulations, efficient tax structures and customer retention all transcend the different layers of each project development.  Which skills do you possess and where are the gaps you are going to need help with? Working that out is critical to your project success.

Jerry shares his thoughts following a recent discussion on target markets & customer segmentation. Who or what should be your target market and should you be open to everyone? Flexspace and CMO developments need to have some kind of customer focus. But what is your target customer, is it a company type, a local demographic or a customer need? _______________________________________________ Podcast Sponsors: Anderson Smith Insurancewww.anderson-smith.co.uk Join the Commercial Property Investor Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/commercialpropertyinvestor/Jerry Alexander on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jerryalexander/ Instagram for Commercial Property: https://www.instagram.com/jerryalexander.commercial/ Commercial Property Investor YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCd-TbqDQajq2F7nOKlE5VuQ   Listen on your favourite platforms:Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/commercial-property-investor-podcast/id1502254406Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/0NjKNRcTE2z36s9qQYxslHStitcher https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/commercial-property-investment-podcastProperty Investing, Commercial Real Estate, Strategies, CMO, Lease, Licence Agreement, Cashflow, Vacancy rates, Agents, Best Commercial property podcast, how to buy, Valuations, ROI, residential, assets, Flexspace, office space, How to get started: https://www.commercialpropertyinvestor.co.uk/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jerry and Lucy Watts explore the reporting that Instant can provide to those of us that want to assess demand in certain locations. Imagine having a report telling you all of the inquiries that have been in a specific geographical area over the last 2-3 years or the average desk rates that are being achieved by other operators? Over the years Instant has built up a huge amount of data and contacts within the flexspace industry and the wider commercial property market. As Lucy explains they are well placed to give an informed and data driven perspective of the trends and models that are working best for operators, landlords, investors and occupiers.

The Annual Financial report for global flexible space provider IWG was released this morning and included details of a merger with online broker The Instant Group.
