Hi! Going round in circles online, anyone got a reliable firm that will do a RICS desktop with a 48 hour turn around or less? Thank you

Hi all, I’m looking to go out to tender in the next couple of weeks for my commercial conversion project in Greater Manchester; comprising 2x large HMOs (15-bedroom) and 3x separate flats. Can anyone recommend a reliable contractor in North West who would be worth adding to the tender list? Any introductions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks 😊🙏

It never fails to surprise me how clever the lenders are at selling expensive mortgages. I am purchasing a student HMO for £180k. Here are my options. Which one would you choose? 2-year fixed • 4.59% • Free Valuation • £4005 product fee 2-year fixed • 6.35% • Free Valuation • £1495 product fee 5-year fixed • 5.19% • Free Valuation • £4005 product fee 5-year fixed • 5.69% • £435 Valuation • £1495 product fee

You guys all know that a big part of my business is funding. Today I’m heading out for something a little different: the inaugural UK Finance Festival organised by iLA and Roma. If you’re going to be there give me a shout, I’ll report back on how it goes in the comments!

After much deliberation, Jamie and I have decided to postpone SLAM! as we shift our focus toward something bigger. Over the past few months, demand for our online offering has grown significantly, and we've decided to lean into that fully - investing our energy into building a truly first-class digital experience for our community. The two speakers we had lined up for Sunday won't be going anywhere - they'll both be featured here soon, so if you're a Premium or VIP subscriber, you'll still get everything we planned for and more. When SLAM! returns in the Summer, it will be bigger, better, and part of a much more exciting chapter for us. Stay close - the best is very much ahead.
