Welcome back to Property on Fire—Happy New Year from Ian and the team.

Ian's actually in Naples, Florida and this is a fitting episode for him to introduce another of his ventures: Travel Geek! If you like the idea of executive travel on a surprisingly low budget, you're going to love this segment of the show. To find out more about Travel Geek, please join the Facebook community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/TravelGeek

He also sets his sites on poorly designed hotel/SA/B&B rooms on Ian's Rant (it's impossible not to nod along)

You'll also hear some great tips on what happens after 8 weeks of planning, following on from a question the team received this week.

A regular podcast from your host Ian Walmsley. Join him every week for a dynamic podcast with Ian and his guests on how to seize the opportunities out there before others do! 

You will learn about planning from a developer’s eye, you will benefit and learn together from the mistakes that Ian makes. He is very grateful for the opportunities that he has had and would love to share these with you.

ABOUT THE HOST

Ian Walmsley  is a third-generation experienced developer who loves Planning. Referred to as a ‘Walking Encyclopaedia’ by a mentor he developed a passion for planning in 2015 having got fed up with inaccurate information on some websites as to what was possible with property or land that he was looking to develop.

In 2017 he set up the site ‘Planning Geek‘ as a way to inform others as to the possibilities of using permitted development rights on both domestic and commercial property. This has now grown to cover many other aspects of planning, giving plenty of ‘wow’ moments. To the best of our knowledge, It is now the largest planning website in the UK, apart from the national planning portal.

He now speaks around the UK at both property meets and with mentorship groups as a developer/planning geek.

As a developer with his company, Leading Homes, he has 40 dwellings under construction with a further 50 plus in legals or pre-construction.

The one thing he is not is a Planning Consultant – he is a Planning Geek – although a chartered town planner said ‘Ian knows more about planning than most planners!’. He is simply ‘A developer who loves planning’. As a result he has nothing to sell from his talks, which is always a refreshing change!
