We Brits love property! My podcast is for people who eat, sleep, live and breathe property (and work in it, too!)
Listen to the fascinating stories of service providers (e.g. Solicitors, Mortgage Companies) to those who literally get 'up on the roof', homeowners, landlords and tenants!

Let's Talk Property - Battles with Broadband, featuring Guy Cocker
How well does your home broadband perform?
Guy Cocker (https://about.me/guycocker), my guest today, reveals the multitude of frustrations caused by unreliable broadband speeds.
Unreliable internet means missing out on gigs and festivals - and with a summer of events and sport ahead of us - we don't want to miss our favourite shows. I can't wait for Wimbledon!
From buffering to lags, a lack of broadband speed causes issues for people on a daily basis. When multiple people are in the home at the same time, unreliable broadband can result in bickering, homework getting delayed, and for those working from home, project deadlines being missed.
EE (www.ee/co.uk)unveils their most advanced broadband, with new FULL FIBRE 1.Gbps, delivering the fastest speeds and best reliability.
Our personal and professional lives depend on fully operational broadband. Research (RWB) shows that 30% of us have daily issues with speed.
Heat affects internet speed, servers and routers giving yet more misery to users.
If you're finding it difficult to work from home, or impossible to hand in assignments and projects to your school/college/employer, maybe it's time to make the change?

HOH: HELP OUR HEDGES
The decline of UK hedgerows is contributing to the alarming loss of plant and animal species. A typical hedgerow encompasses over 2000 diverse species of plants and animals.
The People's Trust for Endangered Species (https://ptes.org/) (PTES) and ARLA farmers across the country are working together to redress the balance. We can also help at home, and make a difference by encouraging our children to get involved too.
My guests are Oliver Williams, Farmer, and Lizzie McLaughlin, Head of Commercial Content Solutions at Agriconnect, who both promote the idea that we can all get involved, whatever the size of our garden, and become 'Custodians of the Land'.
You don't need to be a farmer to become a landlord to a thriving population of diverse wildlife. You can create wildlife-friendly gardens and green spaces within your own garden, balcony, or local outdoor areas. Some simple ideas include introducing bee hotels, bee boxes, bee bricks and manage outside space to encourage the return of bumblebees, insects and hedgehogs.
How can you help to secure a brighter future for the remarkable wildlife we risk losing?
Simply - join in the conversation.

Let's Talk Property - with Neil Jefferson, MD Home Builders Federation
Is house-building politicized? How are developers future-proofing new homes?
Join me as I chat with Neil Jefferson, MD Home Builders Federation (https://www.hbf.co.uk/), about how the cost of living crisis and a potential recession has changed the way we look for, and buy, new homes in the UK.
Market analysis found that the cost to bring most old properties in line with modern standards can be upwards of £70,000. Research reveals that more than 53%* of us would consider buying a new build to increase energy efficiency and lower our utility bills.
