Steel and Construction Materials in High Demand

By

-

The construction industry in the UK has been in the vanguard of economic recovery as the country continues to open up after a year of lockdowns and other restrictions. Post-lockdown, the construction industry is operating at an escalating speed, with a record seven-year high activity levels. With this rapid increase in the activity levels, the demand for steel and construction materials is also at an all-time high.

The supply of a number of essential minerals used as raw materials for steel and construction materials has been stressed by this rising demand. Due to the mismatch between demand and supply, most minerals are now experiencing double-digit inflation. The UK government ordered the Construction Leadership Council to keep an eye on the issue earlier this year, prompting the formation of the Products Availability task force to tackle this issue. It has added more and more things to its list of products facing a severe shortage in the months since it was launched.

Timber

Timber has been in high demand ever since the lockdown restrictions have been lifted. However, the demand is in no way matched by the supply of timber. There is a massive shortage in the demand for timber. Timber remains one of the “worst affected product sectors” for the construction industry, according to a CLC construction product availability update released last month.

The Timber Trade Federation (TTF) claimed that the stock levels for timber were declining in its May market statement, owing to the influx of demand from overseas. This increased demand has prevented UK-based purchasers from replenishing their stock since the Covid outbreak. According to the Timber Trade Federation, demand for timber has soared at an all-time high in the UK and worldwide as housebuilders scrambled to make up for the lost time during the post-pandemic lockdowns and other restrictions that were inflicted. The growing emphasis on a net-zero building has boosted demand since lumber has significant carbon-storage potential; thus, additional focus is being placed on timber, according to the report.

Furthermore, Brexit-related issues further limit timber stockpiling in the UK since 80% of softwood used in construction originates from Europe.

Cement

The demand for cement has also been rising since restrictions were lifted after the lockdown, and the construction industry resumed its operations. Similar to timber, cement’s increasing demand was also met by a shortage. In April, cement was added to the CLC’s list of products in insufficient supply.

However, according to Nigel Jackson, chief executive of the Mineral Products Association (MPA), cement supply has improved to an extent. Bulk cement deliveries, which account for more than 80% of the UK market, are mostly back to normal.

Bagged cement shortages, which accounted for about 18% of all cement sales in the UK in February, have persisted, owing in part to an upsurge in demand as the sector began to reopen following the covid-19 lockdown.

Steel

Another material that has been facing a severely high demand is steel. Steel demand is outstripping its supply throughout the world, not just in the UK. The British Electrotechnical and Allied Manufacturers Association (BEAMA), a UK industrial trade association, confirmed earlier this month that a severe fall in steel production in early 2020 caused a worldwide shortage. Albeit output began to increase in mid-2020, to tackle this shortage. The “availability of steel remains difficult,” according to the group, and is expected to last for months before the steel supply levels start increasing. 

Due to “exceptional demand,” British Steel halted receiving structural steel section orders this week, and a director of a steel specialist told Constructions News that he is concerned that the decision may lead to “panic purchasing,” worsening the situation.

Conclusion

The owners at Western Industrial Business Interiors, along with other companies, are aware of the increasing demand for steel and construction materials and the impact it has had on their business operations. Post-lockdown, this increasing demand and lack of sufficient supply have led to excessive inflation in the prices, with suppliers taking advantage of the situation. The post-Brexit vote has further worsened the situation. Local production of the in-demand materials can also be viewed as a solution to meet the high-level demand. For instance, the future of cement is comparatively more optimistic since it is produced locally in the UK instead of relying solely on imports.

However, with the lockdown restrictions being eased and activity returning to normal, we can expect demand and supply levels to return to their previous levels and the imbalance between demand and supply to get minimized gradually.

Sergey Karshkov: Marketing Trends for 2022

By
Claire James

Founded by advertising industry expert Sergey Karshkov, 9 Pandas consistently outperforms its competitors in terms of leveraging the latest marketing tech and formulating dynamic and engaging advertising strategies.

9 Pandas strives to keep ahead of the curve, enabling the brands it represents to create and maintain a competitive edge. This article will explore marketing trends that are likely to become prominent in 2022 and beyond.

The Death of the Cookie

Earlier this year, Google announced that from 2022, it would no longer be supporting third-party cookies in Chrome. This dealt a significant blow to many online advertisers; Chrome is the most popular web browser worldwide, claiming almost 70% of the market.

For some advertisers, the cookie’s demise will call for some drastic changes. Web tracking is essential to many businesses and advertisers today. Nevertheless, with privacy concerns coming to the fore more and more following the implementation of GDPR, digital advertisers will have no other option but to switch tactics.

The Rise of Zero-Party Data

Zero-party data is gaining increasing traction. Essentially, it is data provided directly by the consumer to a brand. This can be achieved in several different ways; for example, by encouraging consumers to complete a survey, or through consumer/brand online interaction.

With cookies off the table, brands will have to shift their focus from buying data to persuading consumers to volunteer it, convincing them that sharing their preferences will improve their online experience.

Growing Interest in Online Events

COVID-19 triggered a surge in reliance on digital technology, with web users taking their interactions online. Instead of staging real world product launches, brands found ingenious ways to create excitement about their new products through virtual launches, and meetings and seminars switched from the real world to digital venues.

Experts predict that this trend is unlikely to abate as we move through 2022. In fact, insiders suggest that brands will increasingly participate in online events, leveraging the significant benefits they offer, such as the ability to gather data directly –  eliminating the need for brands to rely on third-parties for information and enabling them to build engagement and rapport with their audience.

Transitioning from ‘Hard Sell’ to Educating

In the internet age, brand image is everything. To build a strong brand, companies must prioritise customer care – not only providing a quality product or service, but striving to organically raise brand awareness.

Today, companies must communicate with clients, leads and the world at large promptly and efficiently to earn consumer trust. Instead of shouting “buy from me now!”, brands need to offer web content that educates and offers value, whether it’s weekly podcasts or video tutorials. Today, successful companies must show consumers why they need them, rather than just telling them.

With marketing experts estimating that the average American is exposed to somewhere between 4,000 and 10,000 ads every day, how on earth can businesses get their ad to stand out?

The answer no longer lies in hard-selling tactics.

He/she who shouted the loudest may have made the sale in the past, but today consumers are more discerning. When brands start cajoling consumers to make a purchase, this typically puts them into defensive mode, causing them to switch off.

Rather than pushing products or services, effective marketers show consumers how they can help. Arguably, no company exemplifies this ethos better than Apple, which educates consumers on the value Apple products can add to their lives and uses its stores to offer consumers a space to learn about and try out Apple products.

Accessibility Will Become a Priority

With increasing emphasis on the customer experience, more and more firms are prioritising accessibility. In fact, between July 2020 and July 2021, the number of job advertisements featuring ‘accessibility’ in the title grew by 78%.

Forrester – a company specialising in business strategy – predicts that vendors will ratchet up their investments in 2022, honing their focus to increase accessibility significantly.

Personalisation

With more and more channels for customers to experience marketing content, from podcasts and Facebook ads to videos, brands have a variety of different options in terms of communicating with customers and engaging them in their message.

Since the launch of Clubhouse and similar platforms, podcasting has soared in popularity. Not everyone will listen to a company’s podcast, but those who do are likely to have specific interests that will align with the marketer’s objective, making them more likely to convert.

Similarly, individuals who read a blog post on a particular topic will be more inclined to purchase a related product. Personalisation is a powerful tool in terms of targeting and converting views into sales.

9 Fantastic Small Music Venues in London

By

-

London is home to some of the world’s most famous music venues, ranging from enormous arenas to small grassroots venues. If you love music and you’re heading to London, you’d be a fool not to catch a show at one of these incredible venues. No matter what your preference in music is, London has it all, with the likes of Foo Fighters, Queen, Stormzy, and many more hitting the stage. Not only does London bear witness to the greats, but it also attracts a multitude of breakout artists all looking to hit big. To find out where the hottest small music venues are right now, continue reading.

Camden Underworld

If you’ve ever been to Camden, with its rich cultural variety, colorful scenes, and eclectic choice of music venues, you’ll understand why we start here. Although not much is known about Camden Underworld’s history, it has cemented itself as one of the most important venues in the alternative music scene.

The intimate venue has seen many alternative legends including Avenged Sevenfold, Sum 41, and The Offspring. Further, the venue bursts to life for the Camden Rocks festival, which sees a complete takeover of Camden’s music venues. When bands aren’t taking to the stage, the venue hosts a range of club nights including a frivolous ‘80s night. If you’re heading down to a show, you should get down early and enjoy a refreshing pint of Staropramen in the upstairs pub, The World’s End – not to be mistaken with Edgar Wright’s The World’s End.

If you’re an artist or band, and you’re feeling inspired after your Camden experience, you can take a twenty-minute walk to find the best London rehearsal rooms. The space offers free professional equipment hire with every booking alongside 24/7 access. No matter what your sound, you don’t want to miss the opportunity to practice in some of the great rehearsal studios in London. 

The Lexington

Located in Islington, on the famous Pentonville Road, The Lexington is a fantastic pub and music venue that specializes in craft beer from the US and quality bourbon. The music venue is situated upstairs and pulls a mixed crowd of hipsters, bloggers, scenesters, and basic people with no assignment. The stage hosts a great range of indie artists including Sleigh Bells, Iceage, and The Pastels. Granted, the music isn’t for everyone, but the venue is fantastic and you can hear your friends talk.

Bush Hall

Bush Hall is no Empire, but it’s still an essential grassroots venue to the Shephard’s Bush music scene. Sat between Nandos and a stream of 24/7 markets, this charming venue is distinctly grand. Whatever your music taste, Bush Hall has seen it all, with the likes of The Killers, R.E.M., and the Sugababes hitting the stage. Originally, Bush Hall was built as a dance hall, way back in 1904, and is the only surviving hall a set of three. The venue returned to its roots in 2001, with its glory completely restored.

Cafe Oto

If quirky is your vibe, then Cafe Oto is the answer. They are the home of creative arts and music that sits outside the realms of the mainstream. During the day, they operate as a cafe that serves coffee, snacks, books, CDs, records, and other items you’d expect to find. The venue is easily accessible by tube, bus, and bike. The venue takes a minimalist approach, with no stage space and white walls to allow artists the freedom to express themselves. If you want a little teaser, you should check out the French legend Ghedalia Tazartes.

The Tabernacle

Located in Notting Hill, The Tabernacle is a unique venue with gothic splashes and Victorian dashes that features tiered seating. Back in the day, the likes of The Clash and Pink Floyd graced the stage. Fast forward to the modern age and we see artists including Adele and Lily Allen bellowing sounds across the grand hall. Alongside the classics, the venue aims to support Latin musicians, London-based African artists, as well as Caribbean sounds.

Plan B

Plan B is a quirky venue that opened back in 2009 following a major refurbishment. Step inside and you’ll see neon lighting and a warehouse-style interior. What’s more exciting is the installation of a Funktion 1 sound system, which brings crystal clear and super loud music alive. Once you’ve finished enjoying live music in this Brixton venue, you can party on into the early hours, thanks to their 24-hour license.

The Vortex

If you think jazz music is for old people only, you obviously haven’t been to The Vortex in Dalston. The building looks like some sort of futuristic greenhouse, and they bring live shows to every night of the week. The venue is typically chill, with the downstairs being full of varying influences and the upstairs stripping it back and keeping it lowbrow. The venue has put on some fantastic shows, including performances from the likes of Polar Bear.

Union Chapel

As the name suggests, this converted chapel is the perfect place for music worshipers to get their fill of live shows. Built into a Grade II listed building that dates back to 1877, this venue has become a hallmark in intimate concerts. Step inside and you’ll be met with a gorgeous gothic interior, with grand stone walls that contribute to the acoustics of the building. The venue has hosted the late Amy Winehouse, Coldplay, and Florence and the Machine.

Electric Ballroom

We end our London venue tour down the road from the Camden Underworld, bringing us full circle. This venue is small and lends itself perfectly to intimate shows. The venue has been part of the community for the best part of 80 years and has seen everything from quirky singer-songwriters like Bry to The Horrors.

If you love music, you will never be at a loose end in London. They have everything from vibrant warehouses to tiny underground stages. This list is only the tip of the iceberg – there are plenty more venues out there for you to explore.

5 Ways to Reduce How Much You Would Have to Pay For Life Insurance

By
Claire James
-

Life insurance is one of those jobs that many people don’t want to fuss about but is vitally important. It not only protects your loved ones should anything happen, but it also means you can have peace of mind. Although you don’t want a cheap life insurance policy, you do want to find the best deal for the cover you want. Here are five ways to reduce how much you would have to pay on life insurance.

1. Get The Right Cover That You Need

Finding the right level of life insurance cover is important. You don’t want to get cover that won’t cover all the costs your family will face, but you also don’t want to pay too much for cover you don’t need.

Work out how much you need to secure the future for your loved ones, then take the cover out that matches that amount.

2. Employee Life Insurance

Many employers offer group life insurance policies to their employees. These policies will offer you cover against injury or death in service while at work.

These can be a good way to get life insurance for your family, plus, you can also pay for an additional policy if the employer policy doesn’t cover all of your needs.

3. Choose the Right Policy For Your Needs

The type of policy you get will impact how much you pay. There are a couple of different options that can help you decide.

  • Whole of Life Insurance

This type of cover is expensive, but it also offers the most cover. It guarantees to pay out at some point and will be available to your loved ones when that time comes.

  • Term Insurance

This type of cover is cheaper than whole of life insurance. It will cover you for the length of the policy, but not your whole life. If you want to have life cover while paying off your mortgage, then this is the best option. When the mortgage is paid off, the cover ceases.

4. Choose a Policy with Guaranteed Premiums

There are two types of premiums that you can pay with your life insurance, reviewable, or guaranteed.

Reviewable premiums are variable and can either get cheaper or more expensive when factors such as health and age are taken into consideration.

Guaranteed premiums are fixed along the entire length of the policy. Although these may be more expensive at first, they can save you money in the long term.

5. Joint Cover

A joint life insurance policy has its pros and cons, but can save you money in the long term. However, the policy will only pay out once, so this should be taken into consideration.

Things to Consider

It is important when you are looking for life insurance that you explore all of the options. You need to assess your needs and choose the right cover accordingly. If you are getting life insurance from your employer, then that will detail what the policy covers.

With these five suggestions to hand, you will be able to make a more informed decision on your life insurance, ensuring that you never pay more than what you need.

What is the best thing I can do to help homeless people?

By
Andrew Mcaffrey

There’s never a good time to be homeless but the wind, rain and freezing cold of winter are more likely to increase awareness of people living on the streets.

It’s a subject that is featured more in the news as temperatures plummet and everyone’s planning to eat, drink and be merry over the festive season.

Of course, homelessness can be dangerous to health and wellbeing at any time of the year.

The immediate response we have when we see someone bedding down on the streets is to give them some money, but that’s not the only way you can help.

There are also other ways to make a homeless person feel better. Some won’t even cost you anything and may even be more sustainable.

Here are just a few ways you can help:

  • Stop and talk

Making eye contact and having a chat can be a simple thing to do but it may make a homeless person feel more connected and human. By stopping and talking you can show you care.

  • Alert StreetLink

If you see someone over the age of 18 sleeping rough and want to make sure they are OK, you can contact StreetLink by visiting streetlink.org.uk, via the mobile app (available for Apple and Android devices), or by calling 0300 500 0914.

Once StreetLink receives details about the person, they’ll inform the local authority or outreach service for the area. They will then contact the person sleeping rough and give them access to support.

  • Donate clothing or personal hygiene items

Shelters always need donations of clothing such as clean socks, underwear, and personal toiletry items. Why not ramp up your efforts using social media to tell friends what you’re doing and volunteer to bring over any items that others may want to donate?

  • Become a fundraiser

Fundraising for a chosen homeless charity is one way to ensure their work continues. GoFundMe, Just Giving and other online sites can help you maximise your fundraising and help to create awareness of their work. Some charities, such as Centrepoint which provides support specifically for young homeless people, are looking for long-term solutions and are forging relationships with influential people as part of their Growth Board initiative in a bid to end youth homelessness by 2037. Fundraising is key to its strategy for building affordable housing that will help take young people off the streets for good.

  • Volunteer to help

Most homeless shelters or charities will welcome volunteers. It may be that you have a special skill that can make a difference. Charities are always looking for regular volunteers who can use their skills to help the homeless. For example, fundraising, teaching, computer skills, cooking, driving, advice sessions and more.

  • Donate to a homeless charity

Donating, however small, will help charities fund emergency accommodation and provide other services that can lead to long term solutions. Centrepoint, for example, uses donations to support homeless young people by getting them off the streets, back into education, or into an apprenticeship and any treatment they need for health and welfare.

  • Prevent people from becoming homeless

Do you know someone who is at risk of homelessness due to the threat of eviction by landlords or because of relationship breakdown? There are organisations out there that can help. Urge them to contact the likes of Shelter, Centrepoint, and Citizen’s Advice or google ‘homelessness’ on your local council’s website.

  • Help canine friends

Often a homeless person’s closest companion is their dog. You can alleviate their anxiety around caring for their canine friend by donating food and also by putting the them in touch with the Dog’s Trust which runs the Hope Project – an initiative providing free and subsidised veterinary treatment to dogs whose owners are homeless or in housing crisis.

  • Pay it forward

Thrusting a sandwich and a drink into the hands of a homeless person can be perceived as patronising, so if you want to buy someone something to eat why not pay it forward? Give money to a local café, and then a homeless person can go along and choose food and drink that you’ve paid for in advance.

  1. Learn about homelessness

Dispel any stereotypes you may have and make contact with homeless people in your community. They are people just like you and by learning more about homelessness you may be able to help them find a way out of their situation.

Freezing temperatures could see EV motorists lose more than 30 miles of range this winter

By

Freezing weather and increased cabin heating could see some of the UK’s most popular EV models lose more than 30 miles of range this winter.

The data from Macklin Motors finds that a cold snap could cause an EV to lose up to nine per cent of its range overnight, due to the intense energy usage required to power through the freeze.

Most popular EV modelsRange (miles) beforeMiles of range lostRange (miles) afterTotal miles lost

MINI Electric145-13.05-2.18129.7815.23
Honda e137-12.33-2.06122.6214.39

Cabin heating is another major issue for EV motorists, with 1.5 per cent of range being lost this way.

Together, the effects of freezing overnight weather and in-vehicle heating could incur more than 30 miles of lost range – and that’s all before it leaves the driveway.

Of the 10 most popular EV cars, the data from Vertu Motors finds the Tesla Model 3 loses the most range (37.8 miles) due to cold weather and cabin heating. That’s the equivalent of a one-way trip from Manchester to Liverpool.

Although Tesla’s Model 3 greatest range losses are to be expected, considering it also has the greatest amount of range to begin with.

The Honda e, on the other hand, has just 122.62 miles left on it after sitting in freezing weather overnight and being heated up (just enough to get it from London to Leicester one-way).

Other areas that energy losses can easily occur in an EV include using old or worn tyres, accelerating frequently, charging the battery, and parking up.

EV’s biggest lossesCausePercentage lost
#1Acceleration-20%
#2Old tyres-20%
#3Charging-16%
#4Freezing weather-9%
#5Cabin heating-1.5%
#6Parked-1%
Total energy loss-68%

While charging the battery and parking up are unavoidable, there are still ways to mitigate the losses on an EV’s range.

For instance, rapid charging points can come in handy when out and about, although they can be expensive.

“Alternatively, try to charge your battery overnight at home”, a Vertu Motors spokesperson suggests. “Energy company tariffs electricity rates are usually lowest at this time.”

You could also save precious miles by parking in a garage (at home) or a multi-storey car park (when you’re out). “These indoor areas typically have a more stable ambient temperature than road parking, for instance, which helps to prevent energy loss.”

But the most crucial – and perhaps the simplest – top tip? Aim to have your EV charged at around 50-80% when parked.

“Lithium-ion batteries (the battery pack used in most modern EVs) lose energy when they are charged 100% and parked up. Leaving 100% charged batteries for long stretches of time could even cause long-term battery damage.”

Why should you choose Curtain Tracks?

By
Andrew Mcaffrey
-

Curtains and Curtain Tracks are the perfect choice when you want a spotlighted fabric. The curtain rods are made of plastic or metal, and the cloth is attached to the rail with hooks. The tracks are fixed horizontally to the wall or ceiling using brackets, and the curtain slides smoothly over the plastic sheet. When closed, most of the curtain tracks are hidden behind plugs for an inconspicuous finish. This makes the curtain tracks ideal for a more minimalist look and windows with limited space between the top and the ceiling.

Curtain track: A good choice for a Bay Window?

Curtain tracks are great for bay, bow, and box windows because they are highly flexible, easily bending around curves and tight corners to provide a clean finish that matches the contour of your window. Curtains are fastened to the track with gliding hooks. The trail can be mounted on the ceiling or the wall, depending on the space available and personal preferences.

Are you looking for quality metal Curtain tracks with sleek designs, then click here.

Choosing the Right Curtain Tracks

Choose the proper track weight for your curtains — a lightweight track is best for unlined and shorter-length curtains. Curtains that are lined and extensive in length will require a heavier-duty track. Choose whether you want a corded or an uncorded track. Corded tracks make it simple to pull your curtains closed and are an excellent alternative for windows that are tough to reach.

Brackets and gliders are included in most kits (which allow the curtains to move along the track). If you’re buying parts individually, make sure you have enough for the track length and specific weight.

Curtain Tracks: Smooth Operational Choice

A curtain track’s functioning allows for a seamless, typically silent, and painless operation. They’re also adaptable to most curtain headings, except eyelet curtains, making them a versatile option. The wave curtain heading is only available on curtain tracks that use specially constructed wave gliders to achieve the necessary wave effect. Wave curtains are becoming increasingly fashionable, and they’re perfect for spaces with expansive windows, bi-fold, or sliding doors. The wave heading has the advantage of providing a beautiful, narrow stack back. This allows light to pour into a room, highlighting the glazing.

Are you still confused?

Home decor is tricky, and sometimes you get confused about the right choice. Don’t let your dilemma compromise on home decor as home depicts your personality aura of warmth and love.

In most circumstances, curtain poles or tracks will work with your windows, and the choice is typically a matter of personal preference.

We at Direct Fabrics offer a range of curtain tracks and rails in a variety of designs.

  • Contract Quality Curtain Tracks – Delivered Quickly. Cord Operated and Hand Drawn

Electric Van Rental for Business

By

Intro

Van rental is the rental of a commercial vehicle to a company or individual for an agreed amount. When you start a van rental business it means that you are stepping into a dynamic industry where your success depends on the number of cars you have and their use. Car rentals contribute to a highly profitable market. Therefore, choosing the right niche, caring for your van, and spending time marketing can help your business grow and grow

Electric Van

EV is an abbreviation for electric vehicle. An electric vehicle is a partially or completely electric vehicle. Electric vehicles are extremely environmentally friendly as they have fewer moving parts for maintenance, lower running costs, and use little or no fossil fuels.

 A typical van has a loading range of about 110 miles on a single charge. In the real world, this is often reduced by factors such as cold weather and air conditioner operation, which reduces battery efficiency. The running price of these vehicles are very low due to the much fewer moving slice. Popular vehicle are the Nissan env200 and the Renault Master Zero Emission, both of which have the same loading capacity as gasoline and diesel vans.

Most vehicle batteries typically last for five years with damage. A new set of batteries after this time should give the van a new life. Often, these vehicles have much larger loads due to the small number of moving parts.

There are three ways to charge an electric wheel.

  • Home charging 

Three prong sockets are used in home charging. If you put an expert out of the socket, it can work faster, but it should not amount more than a few hundred pounds.

  • Workplace charging 

It depends on your workforce and how much charging you need.

  • Out and about charging

  • Green Socket 3.2KW 14 Amps
  • Household Sockets 2.3KW 10 Amps

Electric Van finance lease

Why use it for whom? The Electric Van Finance Leasing is outcome that doesn’t really exist, but many have it. Deposits from one prepayment up to 50% of the automobile price will be deposited. The payment will then be made for up to 7 years, with or without a final payment. Advance are usually provided by banks, not car finance agencies. At the end of the loan period, the vehicle must be sold to a third party. VAT is paid monthly and refunded quarterly. It is one of the well kind of finance and is really suitable for almost all forms of business.

Underwriting Electric Van Leasing is very low interest rate and personal. This is certainly the driving force of the budget.

2021 – THE CASE FOR EQUITY PROPERTY CROWDFUNDING

By

As we start to look to 2022 the uncertainty, apprehension and fear in the business world continues. One thing David Johnstone from LEOcrowdfunding is certain about is that 2022 will be the year when equity property crowdfunding will not only grow as a market sector, but will become firmly established as an attractive option for alternative property funding for property developers. We are living in the middle of a paradigm shift, when the business clock goes back to zero, rule books are ripped up and thrown in the bin and new opportunities arise. David says he has never been so pleased to be CEO of an equity crowdfunding platform explains why so in 3 reasons.

Most property projects require equity

Firstly and somewhat stating the obvious, the vast majority of property projects in the UK require equity.  While usually underpinned by senior debt from a bank, bridging company or even a P2P crowdfunding platform, the capital stack nearly always has a need of equity. With the ‘build build build’ policy from the Prime minister and new funds being made available as announced in the budget there remains a focus to increase UK housing.  Traditionally, providing the fundamentals of the development pass basic scrutiny, sourcing senior debt is not that difficult. That is a competitive market place and there is plenty of funds available for developers to access.  The challenge is often the equity slice. If the fundraiser does not have the funds themselves, where do they find it? Regulation and compliance issues make the sources of equity even more difficult. I am not aware of any lenders who offer 100% of the total costs of a property project so without equity deals simply cannot be done. A great place to source that equity needed is on equity crowdfunding platforms, where a large group of property investors are in one place looking for deals to invest in. Once fundraisers pass the due diligence threshold they can promote their projects and pitch for the equity they need. 

Online business relationships

Secondly, whether we like or not there is an unmistakable and potentially long-term pivot to online business.  I am not just referring to the obvious lockdown restrictions limiting face to face contact but how the last 9 months have ushered in a new way of doing business. Do not get me wrong, as humans we will always want company and face to face contact but does anyone really believe we are going back to packed hotel events, bunged restaurants and crammed offices any time soon? I do not think so! I have a member of staff who joined LEOcrowdfunding 14 months ago and I have never met them in the flesh! We have spent literally weeks’ worth of time on zoom, built a productive working relationship but all virtually.  Is this the new normal?  There will certainly be a definite impact on fundraisers meeting potential investors and investors being able to visit potential investment sites so alternatives must be found. I believe 2022 more than ever before will see business relationships between developers and investors flourish and grow without people ever meeting in person.  This has time benefits as well as eliminating geography as a major factor. An equity crowdfunding platform allows such relationships to result in significant property projects to be funded.

Technology gives investors access to information

Thirdly, technology allows investors to access the info they need online in the comfort of their own home. Google maps, Rightmove, land registry, online networking events and zoom all combine to offer investors incredible tools. So as fundraisers and property investors spend more time at home, become more active online and take advantage of these tools funds will continue to be raised or invested. If you are an investor looking for good deals or you are a fundraiser looking for equity for a deal then equity crowdfunding is where you need to look.  From the comfort of their own home property investors can have vetted and financially approved deals brought to them, they can meet the fundraisers via webinars, watch live virtual site visits and engage with the fundraiser and other investors on a closed forum, all through their crowdfunding platform. Fundraisers can access a pre qualified and motivated investor base who are actively looking to invest in property. All of the above factors merge on an equity property crowdfunding platform.

As more and more fundraisers and investors understand the significant benefits of equity property crowdfunding then more and more will use it to achieve their property goals. How we do almost everything has changed in the last 9 months and within the world of property we may never go back to what we thought ‘normal’.  Whatever changes come in 2022 I believe property crowdfunding will grow as a market sector.
