The Berkshire Property Meet News

First of all we must thank all those outstanding people who made it
to the 16th July 2007 BPM. THANK YOU! After a slow start we were
overwhelmed by the number of people that attended.

It's encouraging to hear, from so many of you, how much people are
getting out of this meet. What we observe is all the animated
conversations and smiling faces. People are leaving with new
contacts, ideas and friends.

As stated in our previous e-mails the No.1 request we are getting is
for a speaker. In order to accommodate this we are already looking
for a new venue and talking to a number of speakers, all of whom
will provide beneficial advice helping you move forward in your
business.

The date of the next FREE meeting will be Monday 20th August - same
time, same place. If you have any questions please ask!

Berkshire Property Meet 16th July 2007 - Topics for discussion

Just a quick reminder that the BPM is being held tomorrow night
starting at 7pm as usual.


In direct response to feedback, we are introducing Topics for
Discussion. We have had a number of questions about Redemption
Figures when analysing deals, so the Topics for tomorrow evening are:

"How to find out what the Redemption Figures are on the 1st, 2nd
and subsequent charges on a property"

"How to reduce secured loans - will lenders negotiate?"

Please bring your questions, answers and any creative tips for the
lively discussion that will take place.

Look forward to seeing you there!

Your Feed-back about Berkshire Property Meet

Hope you've had a cracking weekend!

Just dropping you a note to remind you of the next Berkshire
Property Meet which is being held on Monday 16th July 2007 - same
place - same time. As always bring your business cards and any
questions you would like some help with. Please feel free to e-mail
us in advance if you have a burning question and we can try to get
you the answer on the evening.

Thank you all for the great feedback on the BPM. Also thanks for
the overwhelming messages of support and positive responses we have
had. It's good to know people are finding the BPM of benefit.

The number one request was for guest speakers! In order to oblige
we will be looking for a more suitable venue that will accommodate
a speakers needs. We will try and make sure that it lives up to the
benefits of our current location:

- Easily accessible
- FREE parking
- Close to the M4 and M40
- Friendly staff and management
- Liked by all attendees

There have been a few other great suggestions that we are looking
into implementing, all of which will enhance the BPM experience.

We have been to various Networking events, big and small. The most
important thing is to go with an open mind knowing that one brief
conversation with any attendee could be the one idea that elevates
your business to the next level!

For those people who have asked for extra Chris Howard tickets the
easiest thing to do is use this link to register for free tickets

please do it now:

1. What do you like about the event?

attend more often! Thanks for the compliment, but we'll be staying
put in Berkshire for now.. :o)

Look forward to hearing from you soon.

Take care,

success due to the quality of people we have been able to attract.

What the Budget means for property investors!

Investors - worried that the Chancellor might back-track on plans to cut capital gains tax (CGT) on property - will be heartened that Alistair Darling is pressing ahead. From April, people who own second or rental homes will have their CGT bill cut from as much as 40 per cent of their profits to just 18 per cent.

Agents are divided on whether buy-to-let investors, who favour the cheaper homes once snapped up by first-time buyers, will choose to exit the market or will sink the extra profits into yet more properties for renovation and eventual resale.

Some believe that the new rules may offer overwhelmed amateur investors a way out. Neil Chegwidden, head of residential research at Jones Lang LaSalle, notes that the new regime will most benefit those who purchased within the past two years (and would have been liable for the highest rates of CGT under the current system). It is this group of investors - many of them beginners, seduced by the easy money others made in the housing market, but now aware that the market is shakier - who will be most grateful for an opportunity for a low-cost exit.

Sadly, owner-occupiers who might have been hoping to join the fray are increasingly frustrated by a lack of easy credit. Buyers are increasingly facing sudden demands for larger deposits from lenders, a factor that has caused some transactions to fail.

The buying and selling that the CGT changes will probably prompt in cheaper postcodes may also be reflected in agencies in Central London. After years of growth, the health of the market for prime property has been unsettled by changes to non-domicile taxation rules. Estate agents in Mayfair, Kensington and Chelsea have reported that many foreign homeowners are proposing to sell up rather than trust the Government's assurances that it does not not intend to tax them too heavily.

Foreign nationals accounted for 50 per cent of all buyers in prime Central London last year. Jonathan Hewlett, head of residential sales in London at Savills, says: “A substantial proportion of prospective overseas buyers and existing overseas owners have been reviewing their options, pending the outcome of the Government's deliberations.”

Any hope of a reversal of that policy, due to take effect next month, was scuppered with the Budget. Now all that remains is to estimate who will feel the pain most acutely. Lucian Cook, director of research at Savills, says: “The extremely wealthy are unlikely to baulk at the scale of the charge, and so the major concern has been among the brokers, bankers and hedge fund managers.”

remember the BPM Monday !!

This is just a quick reminder that the Berkshire Property Meet is
this Monday 21st May 2007 from 7pm onwards.



We look forward to seeing you there. Have a GREAT weekend!
