Ed Mead Advisory

Advice
Being an agent has been a real passion and after 40 years it makes sense to continue to advise people looking to buy or sell and make the right introductions where necessary. Genuine depth and breadth of experience is combined with an exceptional black book. Helping people BEFORE they decide on what to buy or how to sell can make a huge difference. ed@ed-mead.com

Speaking and writing
Increasingly the future of the industry is puzzling those examining it. My unique experience on all sides, inc high street, online agency and PropTech, gives a unique insight into that future and it seems many are willing to employ me to talk to their interested groups, investors, bankers, entrepreneurs etc.. get in touch if you’d like me to talk. Current demands include the FT Festival, Keynote at the RICS Resi conference… Read More

James [Jim] Pittman

MD

56 year old insurance loss adjuster. Have run half a dozen businesses and worked in blue chip bank. Bought first flat in August 1988 bubble as MIRAS x2 mortgage relief ended. A year later it was worth 20% less. Took 6 years to recover and i sold it and bought a 3 bed house for £54k in Plymouth in 1994. My dad had always bought homes as projects so this was my first 'doer upper' and i sold it 1996 for £60k. My next house in Chippenham i did nothing too and it doubled in value when i sold in 1999. I have moved a lot and spent too much on SDLT so kept a house in Cambridge as a BTL until Govt announced S24. I returned to property investing in 2021 after spending a month stuck in Malta [trying to get back to UK from Dubai] where i watched YouTube / listened to podcasts about property. I found a property in Crewe and after some research signed up for the Modern Method of Auction. Rather surprisingly i got the winning bid and within 4 months had agreed 2 further purchases. So 2022 has been all about refurbishment and conveyancing along with a remortgage. Painfull. So your and other podcasts have kept me smiling
