Summary

Richard Stone has been in construction for more than 40 years and has completed over £300 million worth of property and 3500+ refurbs. In this podcast, he shares his wealth of experience to help you to maximise your profits. This episode is particularly useful for those wanting to move into commercial conversions for serviced accommodation. He covers how to comply with construction HSE and CDM regs. The CIA tax scheme. Hiring the right contractors for the price, scaffolding, and getting accurate design drawings without paying a fortune. KEY TAKEAWAYS All refurbs are construction projects, so you must comply with the regulations for that industry. Complying with HMRC´s CIA scheme removes any danger of your having to give HMRC 30% of your labour costs. Paying contractors using the CIA improves cash flow and helps you to employ decent workers. Take references and always check the person has the qualifications and experience they claim to have. Providing contractors with detailed drawings and specs pays dividends. Don’t just buy on price, satisfy yourself that the firm can complete the job properly for that price. BEST MOMENTS ‘If you are in property and you are doing refurbs, you are in the construction industry.’ ‘Getting the right set of drawings done on any job will save you money, you don't have to go and spend £10,000 on an architect.’ ‘Systems save you sanity, time, emotion, and your mental well-being.’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Discovery Day Sign Up Page - https://progressivepropertyreferral.com/serviced-accommodation-discovery-day/amb0676 The Serviced Accommodation Property Podcast - https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-serviced-accommodation-property-podcast/id1436005279?mt=2 https://propertysoldier.co.uk/ Serviced Accommodation Success by Kevin Poneskis Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert T Kiyosaki GUEST RESOURCES Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/rmstone2011/ LinkedIn - https://uk.linkedin.com/in/richardmstone Website - https://richardmstone.co.uk/ ABOUT THE HOST Your host Kevin Poneskis enjoys public speaking, travelling, exercising, and keeping fit.

The ADHD Friendly Way to Organise Your Home Faigy Liebermann Do you feel guilt and shame around your clutter since forever?Why can't you part with your clutter and get organised "like everyone else?" I have ADHD. My 5 children have ADHD.I live daily with the intense pressure of being expected to excel, and constantly expecting to fail; the crippling shame, and intense guilt and anxiety; feeling frazzled, and being clueless how to explain why my ADHD brain won’t focus to those who need to know is totally draining. ADHD in women is largely unknown in the UK, misdiagnosed and largely goes untreated. I live daily with the extreme behaviours that are part of the ADHD child makeup. I live daily with the acute worry and anxiety over my ADHD children's future. I live daily with the mistreatment of my ADHD children through those in authority who pay lip service to the neurodiverse accommodations in our schools and further education settings...I witness daily the damage that this causes to my children and to myself. In this podcast series you will join me The Straight From The Heart Show Uttam R Maraz The Straight From The Heart Show is a raw, authentic and unscripted show. As the show is unscripted, it is fun and anything goes.The objective of the show is to add value to people's lives. The show was inspired by my own journey of personal development. When I started out on my journey I was broke and could't afford the services of personal development experts and this is my way of giving back.If you want to participate as a guest on the show, please contact me and we can have a chat. Terms Of Service TermsOfService Terms Of Service is a weekly podcast bringing conversations about life. Terms Of Service are rules by which one must agree to abide in order to use a service. In a metaphorical sense the service we use everyday is LIFE. Come join me in a conversation. Remember the Fallen KLRNRadio It is a known fact that war and high levels of tension can change a person. Sometimes, the road back into mainstream society can be just as difficult as one’s time in the Service — overseas and at home. And when the support disappears... We all need a voice to speak out, so we don’t get forgotten. It’s time to remember the sacrifices of our Armed Forces — past, present, and future. Remember the FallenSgt Dave served in Afghanistan, returning home with a tale of perseverance and survival. He is not alone. Join Sgt Dave as he talks to other veterans about their own experiences, and how their time in the Service affects their everyday lives and their families.
