Join us as we explore the dynamic world of property development with our esteemed guest, Paul, whose innovative strategies have transformed the value of pub portfolios. Paul takes us through the journey of how his family's background in property investment led to identifying a sweet spot in the commercial building market and how specialised software became the key to unlocking the hidden potential in thousands of pubs. The challenges faced by the pub industry, including the credit crunch and smoking bans, are discussed, as well as the impact these had on the need for a strategic shift to recover value.

Listen in as we uncover the remarkable transformation of underutilised retail spaces, with Paul sharing a case study of converting the upper floors of central Leamington Spa properties into student housing. His approach to redeveloping spaces above shops, tapping into the demand generated by Warwick University, and leveraging modern tools like the Nimbus platform demonstrates the importance of understanding local market needs. Paul also provides insight into the complexities of licensing data and developing software that caters to a diverse client base, from major retailers to smaller developers, highlighting the evolution from a small investment company to a software powerhouse.

Finally, Paul shares his personal ethos on worklife balance and the driving forces behind his successful property business. We also touch on the transformative impact of AI and advanced technologies in real estate, offering a glimpse into the future of property development. From the use of innovative AI to assess opportunities to the evolving market conditions, Paul and I discuss how to adapt strategies and recognise potential despite uncertainties. Whether you're a seasoned investor or just curious about the property market, this episode is packed with valuable insights and strategies that are reshaping the industry.
