The notes below are from FaceTime call with my Dad in Australia, he is an architect over there which makes his advice extremely valuable to understand the mindset of someone who works within the real estate business and to gather any problems which he currently encounters. With him living in Australia, it is also advice which will help to make the brand more universal with a larger target audience.
Notes-
- An option to click through to planning permission would be helpful for architects or property developers
- Covenants on the land would also be very helpful and save a lot of time and effort for the user
- You pay a ridiculous amount of money for estate agents in Australia, for small houses the fee is around $18,000
- No body trusts an estate agent
- Wether the land is greenbelt and an indication wether it can be built on or not
The next interview was a group interview with 3 students who live within Leeds
Notes -
- A system needs to be in place which removes sold houses, it is a time consuming process ringing up an apartment to get told that it has already been sold.
- It is hard to get in contact with my landlord. When the gas went off, we had to wait until the estate agents was open the next day just to get the contact details of the landlord.
- My landlord was nasty to work with, some way of rating the landlord beforehand from previous tenants would have altered my decision to rent his house.
