So dealmaker, it's been a good while. I've not shared with you a bit of a props filter software update and I do really need to catch up on a few of the recent updates. So the first thing you've noticed, you would have noticed a while back already is when you log in on the right here we have a rolling sort of system here that gives you access to some of the resources so you're more aware of some of the things beyond the software that we do. So as a member you can click here, access the live calls and some of the stuff we do and the initiatives we have in the community. So this is just so you are more aware of what you get because some people didn't realize all the cool stuff we do, which is crazy. So a thing we do as you know, is continually we improve the speed and performance. So I've not heard anyone sort of complain, including myself, for a good couple of months now. But we do continue to improve that. So you will see that things are super fast, which is really great. One thing that is new and that I really, really love is whenever you're looking at a property, so it doesn't really matter which property you're looking at, you can. So let's say we look at this one over here, doesn't matter. I'm just going off something random and you see we have the details here about the agent and you can click this button here that says see other agents properties and now you can see everything they see. So every agent, so you can go and look at all the properties they've got available on the market or whatever it is that they are listing. So you can see everything they have available, anything they've got sold subject to contracts everywhere up and around the country, anything they've recently removed. And so when you follow up about a property and you have a conversation about that one property, you can go and extend that conversation about that other property where the sale has just fallen through or something like that. Super, super powerful, you know, when it's just a huge, huge, huge improvement to your ability to make the most of every agent conversations. There's no other ways you can do this anywhere else. And this is the true difference between some of you like doing a dealer, you know, like multiple deals a year, deal a quarter, deal a month, multiple dealer months. And those who just talk about it, you know, so because you know, property is a people business and it's all about, you know, building rapport, etc. So this is like some of the most impact this is really one of the most impactful things you can do and leverage to get really cool stuff. So if you have commercial properties, you can see in here, if you have other stuff to rent, you can see in there. And if they are involved in anything that's for sale as well as to rent, you will be able to see it in there as well. So it works for every agent everywhere up and down the country. So really amazing stuff. You would have known. So if you've been with us for a long time, you would have known. It used to be a case that we used to have to select some postcodes to define an area and now since a couple of months now, you're able to go and, and say Liverpool or just type whatever area in there, like London Borough or whatever you want. So you've got this area selector here and straight away, literally within seconds it goes and picks an area. So it's defined. There's a convention in the way it agglomerates the postcode together and so that's how it picks it up. You can always go and draw on top of it, whatever you like. But just so you know, you can now go and pick Birmingham, Sheffield, whatever it is you're looking for and it will go and find it for you. One really interesting piece of filter we've added is the ability for you. So the next thing is the ability for you, if you go in the contacts here, to select different agents. So for example, I don't know, actually, I don't know how it's called, I don't know Liverpool, but I'm guessing there will be Savills and Connells or whatever. So you can go and type these and as many as you like and it will only go and show you the, you know, the properties are listed. Here we go. So we've got the Savills here. Maybe there's no canons, I don't know or I misspelled it, but that's really the idea here. So you can go and specifically you like, do a search for, you know, properties that are, you know, listed by a specific agent. For example, so I just saw Seville's one there, so I use this, but it seems like they don't have so many in there. Another thing, so you will remember, when a property is owned by a company, we have details of the company here. You can go and have a look at the details on company's house over here. So this is not new, right? But as I'm seeing here, maybe it's useful for some of you guys if A property is owned by a company, you can click this button as well and go and find all the other. So this will list all the other properties this company owns. So you might have a conversation about not just this one property we have on the market, but about buying the whole portfolio and paying less time duty. So really, really powerful stuff. So another thing I want to share with you is around the EPC ratings here. So you would remember we've had it forever, right, but now you got some sort of improvement costs that have been brought into it over here. So it's just more, more things to help you when it comes to stacking your deal. So the next thing I wanted to share with you, so yeah, really cool stuff. Next thing I want to share with you is in the area data and on the top right here. So you will have seen all these things, the comparables, the LHA rates, etc. Every time you look at a property. But we now have, and we've had this since a few weeks now is the, the planning application. So you can go and do a search about all planning applications that have been happening around that property, which is really great. So this is within a sixteenth of a mile if you want, if you want to go a quarter of a mile you can go really granular here. And then you've got the list of all the applications, the description of the applications here. So this is actually on the same actual portal and see me going off absolute random properties, but you got a bit more information about if it's been permitted or not. And then here a link that goes directly to any, any of the 230ish sort of planning portals that are used by all the different planning local authorities upon the country. So it's just a game changer in terms of doing your due diligence. So it was long in the making and so really pleased you've got it here. And whilst I'm here, so this is actually tucked inside the market data library here where you got the market live market live maps, the last sold map. Now the planning application that I've just shared with you just now, the planning constraints with the different filters or the article for ARIA etc. You remember the census data where you got area of deprivation upon the country everywhere, stress testing your deals, etc. And something that we've added quite recently is this price and income ratio which is really, really interesting when you look at an area because you can see. So for example I go in a place where that I understand, for example, you can see the boundary so basically the lower the price to income ratio, the cheaper the property compared to the affordability. Which means a few things. One is that it's probably going to stack better on a yield basis as a buy to let. And also it's one where potentially, if other principles are true, I've got more capacity to have a, to have a capital appreciation. So you can see Birmingham, you know, like sort of like we recognize very clearly like the solid boundary here which has got a 12 ratio between income and the average property price. We can see King's Eve over here, eight. You can do the jewelry quarter here which is at 8. And if you look at all the nice areas, you know, so if you go like certain course field, you got nine, etc. Etc. So it's really, really interesting when you don't know an area, the average upon the country is around 8. So anything above that means it's a bit more well off and more affluent and anything lower than that it may be a better buy to let area or maybe there's more capital appreciation in the tank for it and things like that. So really, really cool. And you get obviously all of that with your property filter subscription. So I think that's the recent stuff I wanted to share with you. So obviously continue to explore. Right. You know, so, you know, I'm amazed by the amount of people who look at this and like, oh Guillaume, I don't know what to do, Just click around, you know, like have a look, you know, you can, these are all the shortcuts to the community over here. So speaking of community, you know, go, you can go and have a look here. So there's lots and lots of things you can, you can access here. You just need to explore and make the most of it. There's huge, huge amount of value in there on the software and on the membership site, you know, the property community. When it comes to the live calls we run each and every week. If it's, you know, the mortgage update, planning update, you know, everything, you know, there's lots and lots in there. The training and tutorial videos, you know, those little courses we have in there, the member, the member directory so you can get to connect, you know, with some of the most active and successful investors in the country and obviously the bank of resource and recordings, you know, which is now, we're now north of 200 hours of stuff you can go in here. There really isn't one strategy, one skill you don't want to master. It's all in here. Every skill you need to become a better deal maker. Every strategy you want to master, it's in here. Amongst this, the story of some of our members doing deals right now at the coal phase. So if you want to know what it takes to build a portfolio of 57 properties in under three years, and before you know why it's being a remote investor, you can watch Emad's story here. If you want to understand how to do more, how to use the fact that There are Article 4 areas to actually do more and more lucrative HMOs, go and watch Thomas story here. And on and on and on. Literally there are 200 hours more of real world, real stuff happening that you can use and make the most to become a better and more successful dealmaker. So, bit of a long winded update, but also an overdue one because I've not done. We do update the software every two weeks, right. But I've not done one of these in probably two months. Right. So I hope you enjoy, make the most of it and there really are lots of deals to be done right now, so go and fill your boots. Right, so enjoy and speak with you soon on one of the live calls. Bye.
