Basingstoke June 2019 Meeting 

Push the big red planning button - Linda Wright MBA DipTP

Linda is a planning consultant advising and obtaining planning permission for property developers and investors across England and Wales. She is a key note speaker, writer and guest lecturer at Manchester, Liverpool and Bolton universities

She has enjoyed a successful 35-year career in planning in both the public and private sectors – with the result that she has usually seen most planning problems before. Her pragmatic approach and insight into the planning system have been described as ‘invaluable’. She is truly a gamekeeper turned poacher.

Linda’s presenting style is both informative and entertaining – she says ‘Let’s face it the English planning system can be a minefield so we have to inject a little humour to make it tolerable.’

The USP on her CV is that she worked for several years as a senior planner for the Government on the island of Bermuda.

Linda's presentation for 2018 is ‘Push the Big Red Planning Button’ – where she invites you to ‘press a button’ on some of the planning and property issues trending at the moment. There are 12 topics to choose from.

ALSO ...A Broker's story - property investing from a mortgage broker's perspective. What I've done right and wrong over the years and what I've seen clients do right and wrong - Scott Rawlings  

Scott has been advising on mortgages for over 20 years and has been a property investor for 15 years.  But until Scott got educated he made some property mistakes and learnt some great lessons.

During this presentation, Scott will be totally honest with what works and what doesn’t both from an investor perspective and a broker perspective. 

He will also provide lots of opportunities to ask any of those mortgage questions that you’ve always wanted to ask.
