💡 Key Topics Covered in This Module:
✅ Step 1: Select Your Initial 10 Areas
🔹 Start local – Use familiar locations as a reference point.
🔹 Expand strategically – Consider areas within a 45-90 minute radius.
🔹 Look for value – If local property prices are too high, explore more affordable towns up to 3 hours away.
🔹 Focus on growth – Shortlist areas with regeneration projects, infrastructure growth, and rising demand.
✅ Step 2: Conducting Agent Research
🔹 Call 3 estate agents per area (that’s 30 calls total!) to collect on-the-ground insights.
🔹 Ask targeted questions using the 10 Smart Development & Flip Market Questions Worksheet.
🔹 Validate price points, demand, and resale potential directly from market experts.
✅ Step 3: Desktop Research & Data Analysis
🔹 Use Rightmove, Zoopla, and Property Data to analyse:
Average house prices (Focus on £150k-£300k properties for strong flip margins).
Resale trends (Check past sold prices to ensure profitable resale value).
Market speed (Fast-selling properties = high demand).
🔹 Record findings in the Development & Flip Area Analysis Worksheet for easy comparison.
