Highly Exclusive Content

On this full day workshop you will be getting access to highly exclusive content that would normally only be available to Colin's private clients.

As one of propertyCEO's Senior Technical Coaches, Colin teaches cutting edge planning strategies to students on our flagship 12-month mentorship programme. However, we've persuaded him to host this brand new EXCLUSIVE workshop where he will reveal EVEN MORE of the planning secrets that have made him the go-to planning consultant for savvy developers across the UK.

With over 30 years' experience in the planning sector, Colin knows a thing or two about making profits from planning. From exploiting loopholes to understanding how to work the system, he's been able to both make and save his clients a fortune.

So whether you're looking to do a small flip or refurb, or you've set your sights on a much larger project, Colin will be sharing a broad range of strategies and secrets that you simply WILL NOT FIND ANYWHERE ELSE!

In short, you will be getting unique access to the planning playbook of one of the most experienced and innovative planning consultants in the country.

Colin will also be providing an update on the very latest changes in the world of planning, as well as discussing how he sees the future panning out.

DON'T MISS THIS EXCLUSIVE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN WHAT MOST DEVELOPERS NEVER GET TO DISCOVER!

"You don't know what you don't know" is one of the truest statements we know. And it lies at the heart of what can turn a loss-making development opportunity into a profitable one. Or make a great developer out of a good one.

Many people try to tackle refurbs or development projects armed with their own nous and the expertise of a few jobbing professionals. And while such a team can be capable of delivering a project, it almost certainly won't maximise its profit.

Planning is one area where the impact on profits can be highly significant. If you know how to make more profit from a site than the people you're competing against, not only can you pay more to acquire it, you'll likely make more overall profit too.

And the differences can be huge. Being able to save money by getting cheaper labour or materials, or through better design, is all well and good. But it rarely becomes a game-changer. Planning, on the other hand, can make a substantial difference to your bottom line.

Better still, planning gain doesn't have to involve physically carrying out the development work yourself. You could simply gain the planning uplift and sell the project on to a developer for a substantial profit. You effectively become a development deal sourcer, using your newly gained planning knowledge to find opportunities that other can't see and then sell them on.

Whichever route you go down, whether as a sourcer or a developer, having a better understanding of how to maximise planning opportunities and navigate the system will create less risk, and more profit.

FAQs

Where is the event being held?

We're hosting the workshop at the 4-star Crowne Plaza Hotel at the Birmingham NEC. It's just a few minutes from the M42 and M6 by car or just a short hop from the airport and rail links.

How many people will be attending?

We restrict the numbers attending so we can have a direct relationship with each student and can do our best to make enough time to answer everyone's questions. But there will certainly be enough people present at the workshop to make it an excellent networking opportunity!

Will food and refreshments be provided on the day?

Yes, we'll have coffee and pastries available throughout the day plus we'll be laying on a sit-down networking lunch for all attendees, all included within the price. We're also able to cater for any specific dietary requirements you may have, if we receive sufficient notice.

Is parking and accommodation available?

We have negotiated free parking at the hotel for our workshop delegates. For those looking to book an overnight stay, preferential rates are also available. Simply contact the Crowne Plaza Birmingham NEC hotel directly and inform them you are attending this event when booking.

Does the Planning Secrets Workshop integrate with your 4-day Masterclass Workshop?

We are hosting the Planning Secrets Workshop on Monday 29th April 2024. Our Masterclass Workshop, in which we follow a real-life development project from start to finish over an extended 4-day period, runs from Tuesday 30th April to Friday 3rd May. While there is no direct connection between the workshops, many students see the advantage of spending the entire week with us by attending both events. If you're interested in attending the 4-day Masterclass, please contact support@propertyceo.co.uk to check the latest availability.

I'm interested in your Fast Track and Mentorship programmes; what exactly do they cover?

"Comprehensive" barely does them justice. You can access full details HERE.

I'm already a propertyCEO mentorship student - do I need to attend this workshop?

You certainly don't NEED to attend however many mentees see the benefit of learning additional planning-related strategies that they can apply to different types of projects, or use to source deals for other developers. It's also a perfect way to start the week for those attending the Masterclass Workshop which begins the following day. We think you'll get a lot of benefit from attending, however all mentees are eligible for a significant discount on the full ticket price - please contact the propertyCEO Helpdesk for further information.

What if I find the workshop isn't for me, or I don't like the way you teach?

We want you to attend this event with ZERO risk. So, if you get to the half-way point of the workshop and feel that it's not for you, then simply let our event staff know and we will give you a full refund. All we ask is that you return to us any course materials that we've given you.
