Property Solopreneur with Rachael Troughton
136 Inside the Mind of a Property Developer
Episode notes
This week’s guest is well known to many of you because you’ve seen him on Property TV. John Howard is one of the UK’s most experienced property consultants, developers, traders and investors, with over 40 years of experience within the industry. John has bought and sold nearly 4,500 properties in 87 different locations across the UK, from traditional houses to hotels and large scheme developments. One of his more recent projects is the £27 million construction of 150 apartments at Ipswich Waterfront.
People like John, who’ve built big property businesses, have been through quite a number of boom and busts in the property market. The thing about boom and busts is there are key elements that are the same, and some that are different, but you've got to know what the difference is if you want to survive. That’s why I invited John onto the show to share little nuggets of his expertise that can make all the difference to us.
