The Right Move? The leading property podcast.

The saddest episode ever.

That was how this particular episode of Grand Designs became known. Even Kevin McCloud couldn't fail to be moved. With over £7,000,000 of debt and a broken marriage, Edward Short wanted Chesil Cliff House to be a wonderfully unique family home. Sadly his children grew up and flew the nest before the project was completed. His Wife Hazel subsequently split.

So have you got £10,000,000 to spare?

That's what this Croyde super house is on the market for and we're speaking to the agent marketing the house - Nicholas Chbat of Match Property in Devon.

But what does it actually take to design and build your own dream home successfully? Dan Grimshaw, who owns and runs Beam Development will share his expertise and experience.

And you'll also hear about the council buying up homes to stop more Air BnBs coming along.

Plus Simmo has ( another ) new qualification!!

What happens when you've done well enough in your early 20s to have money to invest, but don't know where to turn?

You invest in property.

Picking up a great instinct for buy to let, particularly in the Bristol area, former model Clare Wilson joins us to talk about her story and how you develop that keen eye and acumen for investment. Clare spent 15 years on the international modelling circuit working the runways of London, Paris, New York, Milan and Sydney alongside other stars like Naomi Campbell and Yasmin Le Bon. She now has an agency of her own - Gingersnap

An hugely successful model and businesswoman, Clare is a must listen and we're so pleased she could join us.

Look out for her forthcoming book and podcast.

The Sunday Times has Bristol down as one of the best places to live in the UK and who are we to argue? Simmo and JP bring their unique take on the city and its constant appeal. We chat about DJ Derek, the creative scene and the docks - if we're not on commission for Visit Bristol, we should be!

And who can forget the man with predictive powers that are more effective than predictive text on a Nokia 8210 - Mystic Simmo!

Did someone mention Will Smith?

It's completely normal when buying property in the USA.

A buying agent could be worth their weight in gold and in various countries, it's standard practice. We've met a brilliant one based in the South West of the UK, Jerome Lartaud - he co owns and runs Domus Homes and you can hear about his expertise in the podcast.

A 9% fall in house prices. That's what the Office of Budget Responsibility predicts, but how accurate will that be? Simmo picks over their forecast and gives his experienced verdict of what might play out in the housing market. Will Charlie Lamdin and Nic Chbat see eye to eye?

Sustainble, eco housing is naturally high on the agenda at the moment and with one scheme given the go ahead in Horfield, Bristol, we pick over the plans - will we give the designs our thumbs up or not?

And

Simmo is fast becoming the media go to guy - so does that explain why the cameras of Panorama were in his office, or is he about to go on reality tv?

She's the founder of Money Magpie and you'll catch her extensive financial wisdom frequently on tv, radio and in print.

Jasmine Birtles is arguably the most switched on person you'll ever meet when it comes to money management. She's straight talking, has some great stories and well thought out ideas on how we can become better educated around ££.

Simmo and JP chat to Jasmine about the way we learn the financial stuff at school ( or not ), what her advice would be for property buying / investment and whether politicians should " be more Jasmine ".

We're also blessed to have the company of Charlie Lamdin. A high priest of social media when it comes to property and finance, Charlie is on YouTube, Tik Tok, Twitter and all the places you'd expect a great analyst and forecaster should be. Charlie's just agreed to be a monthly contributor to this podcast and in this episode, you'll heard the first " Charlie's Takeaway ".

Oh yes and there's the small matter of an Elf. Literally.

Happy Xmas from all on the podcast.

It's our first one. What is it they say? Be kind.

Actually, don't worry - we can take it. As the know-it-all, edgy and fun new kid on the property podcast block, Andrew's ready for anything as we introduce the new show and tell you what we're planning.

Just how accurate will those Mystic Simmo predictions be and how will they play out with the old guy in the white beard ( Santa, not Phil Spencer ).
