Welcome to propertyCEO
About propertyCEO
propertyCEO is a UK-based training company that trains people how to develop property.
We don’t train anything else – all of our expertise is focused on one goal; teaching people how to do property development successfully, with the minimum risk and maximum profit.
Whether you’re completely new to development, or you already have some experience under your belt, we can teach you not only how to avoid the pitfalls, but also where to find the opportunities.
Our mission at propertyCEO is to provide the very best property development training available anywhere. We do that by putting our 40+ years of industry experience into all of our training and focusing on our students’ success.
propertyCEO is different
We believe that people should have a low-cost way of discovering whether property development is for them. That’s why we offer high quality training webinars, workshops and content at either no cost or low cost that teach the fundamentals of property development – warts and all.
We also know that the devil is in the detail – so we make sure that our training tells you everything you need to know based on our forty-plus years of experience.
We have a number of core values that form the cornerstone of everything that we do:
- Trust – if we say or promise something, you can rely on us to do it
- Authenticity – our agenda is to create successful developers, not to see how many courses we can sell
- Honesty – we will tell it like it is, warts and all
- Customer-focus – we like to treat people how we would like to be treated ourselves
- Quality – our training is designed to be the best of its type available anywhere
- No hard selling – we’ll never make you run to the back of the room or spend half a day listening to us sell to you
- Integrity – we don’t try and persuade students to fund our own developments or make extra money from partnering with some students but not others. Nor do we take kickbacks from businesses or funders that we introduce to our students
- Depth of content – we will give you not only the detailed information you need to develop property, but also the business and personal skills that allow you to do it successfully
- A single solution – who wants to go on an endless journey of workshops, buying increasingly more expensive training? We have just one core product, and you don’t need to buy anything else
Above all, we set out to create a training programme and customer experience that would be exactly the training we would like to receive ourselves if we were looking to develop property for the first time.
Who We Are For…
We teach a wide range of people. Business owners, landlords, professionals, self-starters, entrepreneurs and people in careers looking to create an additional income stream or leave the day job behind. Most of our students are new to development but we also train many existing developers.
What sort of property development do you teach?
We teach property development full stop. So whether you’re looking to do new builds or commercial conversions, small projects or larger ones, we can train you how to do it successfully. We encourage first-time developers to go for a permitted development conversion scheme for their first project as it’s typically quicker and less risky than a new-build scheme. This could be as simple as putting flats above a shop or converting a small commercial building into residential.
Why should you choose property development?
We don’t think there’s ever been a better time to do it. The government has recently increased the permitted development rights that make it far easier to tackle small-scale conversion projects, plus there’s a massive housing crisis and a glut of properties ripe for conversion – just look at your local high street.
And, of course, property development can generate some very significant returns.
A small-scale property development project typically involves creating between 4 and 20 units, with GDV’s of between £500k and £2.5m, and targeting profits of between £100k and £500k.
This all points to a serious opportunity for people looking to get into development TODAY. The coming months and years will see some great buying opportunities. NOW is the time to learn how to take advantage, by investing in your education and getting trained how to do development the right way.
It’s not just about avoiding mistakes, it’s also about seeing opportunities.
People often make the mistake of thinking that property development is an advanced strategy that requires them to invest lots of money and is technically beyond them. Surely buy-to-lets are safer and easier? The reality is that development is simply a different strategy – one that typically requires less personal investment than a buy-to-let plus it utilises skills most people already have. And there are no tenants!
The first step is to accept that you don’t know what you don’t know. Forget your preconceptions about property development and let us show you exactly what’s involved when you do projects at the smaller end of the development scale. You can then decide if it’s something you’d like to do.
If this all sounds quite interesting, then we’d love to help. The best place to start is to take our free 3-Step Challenge using the link below, where we’ll tell you more about the best opportunities that are out there in the current market, and also how to find out more about being a developer, so you can decide if it’s right for you.
3 Reasons NOT To Work With Us…
1. Don’t work with us if you want to “Get Rich Quick”
Property development is the easiest way we know of making life-changing sums of money, but it isn’t easy and it’s not quick. So if you want to make a cool million or two in the next few months without much effort, it isn’t the right strategy for you.
2. Don’t work with us if you don’t have proven people, management, organisational, and decision-making skills
Property development is massively leveraged, to the extent that most people OTHER than the developer do most of the work. But you will still need to have some core skills if you’re to be successful.
If you don’t have these, we won’t be able to help you.
3. Don’t work with us unless you’re 100% committed to getting results
Our students have to show up for work; to be committed, to put the hours in. To be prepared to operate in a place that falls outside their comfort zone. That means they need to have a burning desire to move from where they are now to where they want to be.
So, if you’re only slightly interested in giving it a go, we’re probably not the organisation for you.
