Is Rightmove's dominance finally coming to an end? In this thought provoking conversation, property industry veteran Mal McCallion shares why he believes a major shift is happening in how people search for homes, and what it means for estate and letting agents across the UK. With decades of experience launching names like Zoopla, PrimeLocation and now ModelProp, Mal explains how artificial intelligence is starting to do what the internet did to print in the early 2000s. He reveals how tools like ChatGPT are already allowing buyers to bypass portals entirely, using natural language to search directly across the web, including estate agents' own websites. This isn't a distant future scenario. It's happening now. And agents who take the time to understand AI, and how it can support their business, will be the ones who thrive as the market evolves. Listen to the full interview, share your views in the comments, and join the conversation on where the UK property market goes next.

The Biggest Mistake in Estate Agency Tech: Mal McCallion Tells All! What if the biggest mistake of your career was trusting technology to do it all? In this candid and thought provoking conversation, we're joined by Mal McCallion, (the man behind PrimeLocation and Zoopla), as he reflects on his early belief that tech would revolutionise estate agency without much human input. Fast forward to today, and with AI dominating the conversation, Mal reveals why that mindset was flawed and what agents really need to know. This episode dives into how AI is reshaping the property industry, not by replacing people, but by shifting how we work. Mal talks about the real opportunities AI brings, the dangers of hype, and why relationships still sit at the heart of the business. He also challenges whether CRMs are keeping pace, and what agents should be doing to stay ahead. Listen now and share your thoughts. Has AI started changing your business yet, or are you still waiting to see the impact?

Perfectionism Is Holding Your Agency Back, Here's What to Do About It! Are you constantly tweaking your marketing, rewriting your listings, or putting off launching that new idea until it's “just right”? You're not alone, and it might be doing more harm than good. In this refreshingly honest conversation, we speak with Mal McCallion, the man behind Zoopla, PrimeLocation, and ModelProp, about how the drive to be perfect almost derailed his career, and why letting go can actually move your agency forward. Mal opens up about the mindset that changed everything: embracing progress over perfection. From handling client feedback to making smarter decisions faster, this episode is packed with practical advice for estate and letting agents who want to grow without burning out. If you've ever held back from trying something new, whether it's AI tools, video marketing, or a bold idea, this is the wake up call you didn't know you needed.

Simon discusses the advantages of seeking property deals during the summer months. With many investors slowing down their activities for holidays, he encourages you to take advantage of the reduced competition in the market, outlining specific strategies for finding motivated sellers, including using property filter software, engaging directly with estate agents, and reaching out to landlords. KEY TAKEAWAYS The summer months, particularly July and August, are often seen as a slow period for property investors. However, this is a prime time to find motivated sellers as many investors take a break, leading to less competition in the market. Utilise property filter software or platforms like Rightmove and Zoopla to identify motivated sellers. Make direct calls to agents representing these sellers to discuss potential deals and arrange viewings. Visiting estate agents in person can help establish rapport and trust. Present yourself as a serious buyer looking for local expertise, which can lead to better opportunities and insights into available properties. Sending letters to landlords, especially those with HMOs, can uncover off-market opportunities. Many landlords may be looking to sell or are open to creative financing options, making this a valuable strategy. BEST MOMENTS "In the summer, typically in July and August, most property investors decide to slow things down a little bit because they want to go on holiday." "The very reason that most people are off is a reason that you should step up your activity." "When you make an offer, you actually want the seller to reject that offer." "It's great to be able to speak to them outside of the office."

How AI is Actually Changing Estate Agency, with Mal McCallion AI isn't some far off concept, it's already reshaping the UK property market. In this insightful conversation, Mal McCallion, a seasoned figure behind Zoopla, Primelocation, and GetAgent, shares how artificial intelligence is transforming the way estate agents work today. From smarter prospecting to virtual staging and deep market research, AI is doing far more than writing property brochures. Mal explains how it's shifting the balance, taking the heavy lifting off agents so they can focus on what really counts: people. But with that shift comes opportunity and responsibility. Understanding how to use AI effectively could be the difference between falling behind and leading the charge. This isn't about machines replacing agents, it's about giving professionals the tools to stand out, build stronger relationships, and deliver service at scale without sacrificing the human touch.

Simon examines the innovative strategy of freehold to leasehold title splitting, a method that allows investors to create equity from existing properties. Building on the previous discussion of creative finance, the episode outlines how to identify opportunities in the property market where freehold buildings have already been converted into self-contained units.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Understanding Freehold to Leasehold Title Splitting: This strategy involves purchasing a freehold property that has already been divided into individual self-contained units Investors can find suitable properties by searching platforms like Zoopla or Rightmove for larger properties (8 or more bedrooms) that have been split into individual units When evaluating potential investments, it's crucial to ensure that each unit is at least 30 square meters, has separate utility supplies (electric, gas, and water), and that the purchase price is less than 75% of the cumulative value of the individual units. Potential for Increased Value: By creating leases for the individual units, investors can significantly increase the property's value. For example, purchasing a property for £200,000 that can be valued at £300,000 after lease creation can result in £100,000 of equity. BEST MOMENTS "The freehold to leasehold strategy really is property magic, because you literally create equity from thin air." "It's very important that you find apartments or flats where they are fully self-contained and they do not have shared kitchens or shared bathrooms." "Most landlords who own these buildings never bothered to create the leases because they didn't need to." "This is an advanced strategy... I'm giving away this strategy on this live online training because I want to help you make more money."

The 3 Biggest Mistakes Estate Agents Are Making with Their Marketing in 2025! Are your marketing efforts in 2025 up to scratch? In this episode, marketing expert Reena Patel shares the top three mistakes that many estate and letting agents are making, and how you can avoid them. Firstly, relying too much on AI tools like ChatGPT without properly checking the output is a big issue. While AI is a great tool, it can often include mistakes like American spellings or emojis that don't suit your brand. Simply copying and pasting content can give the game away, so it's essential to proofread and ensure everything aligns with your professionalism. Next, many agents focus too much on sales, forgetting the importance of building long term relationships. As Reena points out, it's the agents who stay in touch and genuinely engage with clients who are most likely to see success when those clients are ready to buy or sell years down the line. Finally, a surprising number of agents fail to follow up on leads from major property platforms like Rightmove and Zoopla. If you're paying for these listings, you must nurture every lead, even if they're just browsing. Failing to do so could mean missing out on valuable opportunities. If you want to take your marketing strategy to the next level and avoid these costly mistakes, this episode is for you. Don't miss out, hit play now!

Is Giving Away 30% of Your Fee to a Self Employed Brokerage Worth It? As an estate agent, the thought of giving away 30% of your fee to a self employed brokerage can seem daunting. But is it really a bad deal? In this episode, Adam Mackay, an experienced estate agent who recently joined the self employed model, breaks down the pros and cons from his own experience. Adam dives into the details of how self employed brokerages, like EXP, work, and why he made the shift. He discusses how the fee structure isn't as simple as it seems, and how the costs are offset by access to a full range of services, including Rightmove, Zoopla, a powerful CRM, training, and strong compliance support. For Adam, it's not just about the financials, but the added flexibility, support, and the sense of community that comes with being part of a bigger network. If you've ever wondered whether self employed models can actually help you grow your business and reduce the stress of running an agency, this episode will give you the insights you need. Tune in to hear Adam's full experience, and share your thoughts in the comments. Could this model work for you?

In this episode of the Digital Disruption Podcast, hosts Chris Williams and Pete Gatenby delve into the topic of vertical fragmentation and its impact on the UK home buying process. They discuss how isolated digital solutions have led to inefficiencies, delays, and friction in transactions across the property market's ecosystem. With various actors like vendors, lenders, and property firms all affected, the need for a more holistic approach becomes clear. Chris and Pete introduce Horizontal Digital Integration (HDI) as the solution to the current fragmentation. They highlight the need for interoperability and collaboration across all parties in the ecosystem to improve the customer experience, maintain competitive advantages, and increase efficiency in decision-making. The conversation explores practical steps for businesses to begin implementing HDI, including conducting mapping exercises to assess existing technologies and identifying potential collaborative partners. The hosts provide real-world examples of HDI in action, such as Zoopla's integration with mortgage brokers and LMS Connells' pilot focusing on upfront data sharing to streamline processes. They also emphasize that organizations of all sizes can play a role in this shift—even those without large technology teams. The episode concludes with an open invitation for listeners to engage further on HDI and its potential to transform the property market. Additionally, they announce the launch of Novus Strategy and Consulting's new physical newsletter, offering unbiased insights and analysis to support digital transformation in the home buying sector. This episode is a call to action for stakeholders in the industry to embrace HDI, leverage technology, and put the customer at the heart of their strategies.

This podcast is about how to find properties. There are different ways that you can approach this. Speak to estate agents and look on online estate agent portals such as Rightmove and Zoopla. Do letter drops to local properties?  It may not always be a landlord, but you never know who might see your letter.  Talk about the benefits you can bring to the landlord, and make sure you include your contact details. It's crucial to be honest with estate agents about your intentions and ensure that the properties you either buy or rent are suitable for serviced accommodation. This not only builds trust but also sets a standard for ethical business practices in the property investment sector. You must check mortgages and leases to ensure both allow serviced accommodation. If you would like to find out more about serviced accommodation please join our facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/servicedaccommodationsecrets If you would like to contact me please email: linda@theprofitnavigator.co.ukSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
