Edinburgh October 2019 Meeting 

Interior Design for Profit - 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...Welcome to the new, more rewarding and financial era - Tom Edmunds

At this month's pin meeting, Tom Edmunds, Borrower Manager at CrowdProperty, will be talking about the dawn of technology-enabled alternative finance, which the UK leads the world in. 'Fintech' is breaking new boundaries and making financial services far more efficient and therefore more rewarding for customers.

 During Tom’s presentation you will learn:

• What Alternative Finance is and why it’s the future of finance
• Why it benefits everyone (except the banks)
• How CrowdProperty is harnessing technology to disrupt the property finance sector
• How CrowdProperty can help you grow your property business faster

CrowdProperty is becoming the number one place for SME property professionals to easily raise finance for property projects. Offering bridging, refurbishment, development, auction and 'special situations' (just ask their experts) funding, CrowdProperty is funding projects in minutes (and sometimes seconds) on their platform from 8,000 lenders, funding £100m of property and 600 Great British Homes to date. Applying complex technology and deep property expertise, CrowdProperty more efficiently matches the supply and demand of capital, meaning a better deal for both borrowers and lenders alike.

CrowdProperty is different because:

• They are property experts and understand your need for speed, ease and certainty
• You speak directly to their expert decision makers

• There are no last-minute changes
• They offer loans from £100k-£5m+
• They can fund up to 100% Loan to Cost (project dependent)
• Interest is rolled up
• Drawdowns are fast and easy
