    I have 2.3 billion worth of stuff available - all sectors - no joke.

    4651 £2,375,022,878.77 £510,647.79 £1.00 £213,809,379.00
    I have another 77 pubs and a few other things waiting to be listed this afternoon too.
    Guest houses/B&B's. Be careful what you are paying for. The business value could well be lower than the bricks and mortar value. Pay closer to business value if you can.

    Hotels some are on a fire sale but some vendors are holding firm. I will have more in soon in addition to the 51 I already have. I have a 31 bed hotel on the south coast for peanuts if you can be very quick. Best and final offer by noon on Monday Guiding at £275,000. Cash buyers only must complete within 21 days of Monday and indemnify.

    As Ladymuck says I know an awful lot about this stuff. A link to my listings mag is is my sig.
    I produce a listings magazine and also write "Market Comment"

    I am always happy to answer questions from folk here. Just reply to this post or get in touch privately of you prefer but I am happy to answer questions and provide advice openly.

    If anyone wants me to advertise to find them a new business that is fine too.
    That hotel - it's not Richard's by any chance is it? If it is then that is indeed a beautiful plot with bags of potential and planning already in place for conversion to apartments. Shame he has to sell it, but there are problems with his business partner going under unfortunately (I mean in financial trouble, not dead ). It will go for £500k+ I reckon.

    I would have gone for it but it's not in my area and I don't like to invest far from home. Bad experiences in the past etc.

    If you have anything in the S.E. like towards the west side of London like Berkshire/Bucks, or down in Kent near Ebbsfleet/Gravesend, then do give me a shout. Looking for businesses where the building plot has potential for conversion to residential units.

    Will chat in more detail with you soon no doubt.

          we had CDO's -> collateralised debt obligation now we have bespoke trench opportunity

          we might see a nationalisation of economy, I think already the state has bought 1/3 of mortgages in some countries. but how would this create a fairer system for everyone? if you pamper and isolate the old a rich and drown in debt the young and poor?
          I for one am loosing any will to do anything productive in this world.
          if being an immigrant and trying to make it and support the entitled ones was not hard enough, now having a society segregated based on wealth and less meritorious makes me question even more my role in this world.

          and I guess plenty of people would feel very similar.

          That's a bad sign, but agree. Reward for skilled labour is at an absolute low at the moment. Why work for something when you can print it? This dangerous debasement of currency is a sure way to provoke civil unrest in a society.

            Richard had an offer of £380k that was moving forward a few months ago but fell through due to cold-feet when the buyer discovered some legal issues with Richard's partner. These issues wouldn't have affected the new buyer but I guess he didn't know any better. What a bargain that would have been! Anyway that's another story and unfortunately one I can't be a part of. Nice to see that we share some circles.

            Will certainly PM you in due course. Am wrapping up my contracting business and will have funds to invest, hopefully early 2021. I'm not in a great rush as I'm forecasting quite the turbulent year ahead, but I'm ready to discuss and network and work on ideas with people. My usual business is BTL/HMOs but I want to diversify into other areas, though I really have no set idea as to what - could be resi development, could be another business. Quite happy to put some £ into an idea and share the work/effort to grow a business.

            I've lost a great deal of money in the past so will be somewhat defensive and sceptical - no disrespect meant, I will just need to be really careful of where I put my money now.

              It's just the beginning of the end of modern empires.

              Every empire eventually collapses.

              We still have long enough to ride our lives through the western economies, but our children will need to be much more adaptive and accommodating.

                      Aircraft?


                      Was thinking about flying lessons.. any pilots amongst us?


                      For those interested in land / property, why not just buy British Land company shares? They seem quite oversold at this time.
