Chester February 2020 Meeting 

Interior Design - How to add value to property - Julian Maurice  

Julian has been talking on the pin circuit for several years now, and as time has passed his message about good design has gone from one of a lone voice to a common acknowledgement of the fact that in the face of stiff competition we have little choice but to up our game. 

At this month's pin meeting you will learn about the Boutique HMO (Houses in Multiple Occupation) strategy, an appraisal of market trends, a tutorial on the Principles of Good Design and learn how to work with contractors when applying more creative design. 

Julian regularly refreshes his Interior Design presentation keeping it fresh and current. He is still a lone voice on the pin circuit and yet the content is more relevant today than at any time. Julian's interior Design talk is innovative, engaging and entertaining with lots of lovely images that will ignite creativity and inspire.

ALSO...Headache in the Pipeline? Developing a Strategy for your Utilities...   - Marc Wheatley

Marc Wheatley, from pin’s preferred utilities supplier - Full Power Utilities – will be sharing his knowledge and expertise about utility management and helping us to minimise the associated headache and costs.
               
Normally a substantial running cost for HMO/Serviced Accommodation operators, Marc will inform you of the different options available to you with regards the procurement and management of your gas and electricity supply. 

During his talk, Marc will cover several topics, including:

•             How to minimise/remove the headache associated with managing your (growing) portfolio’s utilities.
•             How a commercial utility rate can be secured on a domestic use property (without VAT implications). 
•             How to protect yourself from inevitable price increases and additional charges.
•             How to avoid dealing with the suppliers!
