How Property Auctions Really Work and the Core Four Ways to Make Money - David McGinty
Property auctions offer more opportunities than simply buying a bargain. In this practical session, David McGinty, property investor & BEM at Prime Property Auctions—established in 2022 and built by investors, for investors—will explain how auctions really work, how auction companies earn their fees, and what the process looks like for both buyers and sellers. He’ll then explore four tried-and-tested strategies for making money through auction: two active and two passive approaches, including two that involve purchasing a property and two that don’t require you to buy one at all. Drawing on real-life examples, David will share practical steps attendees can start applying straight away.
What you’ll learn on the evening:
- How property auctions work, from listing and bidding through to completion, including how auction companies earn their fees.
- How to buy and sell through auction, and recognise when it could be the right route.
- The core four ways to make money through auction, covering two active and two passive strategies.
- How to access opportunities both with and without purchasing a property yourself.
- Practical lessons from real-life examples, with clear steps to begin putting the strategies into action.
ALSO... 2030 Is Closer Than You Think. Don't Get Caught Out — Get Clued Up. - Jon Reynolds
With the government's deadline for mandatory Band C EPC ratings fast approaching, landlords across the UK face some of the most significant regulatory changes in a generation. In this talk, Jon Reynolds — a qualified Energy Assessor and Retrofit Assessor with over 20,000 assessments to his name — cuts through the noise to explain exactly what is changing, when it is happening, and what landlords need to do now to stay compliant and avoid costly penalties.
Jon will guide attendees through the transition from the current EPC system to the new Home Energy Model (HEM), unpacking what the reformed assessment methodology means in practice and how it will affect property valuations, lettings compliance, and landlord spend. Whether you own one rental property or fifty, this is essential knowledge for anyone operating in the private rented sector in the years ahead.
What you will learn
- What the Home Energy Model (HEM) is and how it fundamentally differs from the current SAP-based EPC system
- The new MEES standards taking effect in October 2030, including fines of up to £30,000 per property for non-compliance
- Which exemptions are available, how long they last, and how to use them legitimately to protect your portfolio
- How the £15 billion Warm Homes Plan and available government funding can help offset the cost of required improvements
- Practical steps to take now — including how to engage a qualified assessor, understand your options, and prepare your properties ahead of the deadline
