In the podcast, we discuss how 29Twelve approaches property sourcing differently, focusing on both on- and off-market properties. Nicky offers insights into how this method can help clients access exclusive opportunities and find properties that truly align with their personal preferences and\/or investment goals.<\/p>\n<p>We also explore the broad range of clients Nicky works with, from those based in the UK or internationally, to parents of offspring studying here or families going through divorce, and how their needs shape the services offered by 29Twelve.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Vacant home management: a specialised service<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In addition to property sourcing, 29Twelve specialises in vacant home management. The podcast looks into what this service involves and why it\u2019s essential for property owners who may not be able to regularly check on, or manage their properties. We learn how 29Twelve ensures that vacant homes are properly maintained, secure, and ready for any needs that may arise. Nicky highlights how the team takes a hands-on approach to managing these properties, providing clients with peace of mind no matter where they are in the world.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why choose 29Twelve?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nicky\u2019s approach to property consultancy is driven by a deep commitment to personalised service and attention to detail. In the episode, we discuss what makes 29Twelve stand out from other property management companies and how Nicky\u2019s unique perspective and experience help clients navigate the property market with confidence.<\/p>\n<p>This episode is a great listen for anyone interested in property sourcing, vacant home management, or looking to learn more about the property industry from a seasoned expert. Nicky\u2019s insights and expertise provide valuable information for both potential investors and homeowners looking for personalised guidance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To listen to the podcast in full:<\/strong><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Boutique Consultancy with Nicky McConnachie: Property Sourcing &amp; Vacant Home Management by Lets Talk\" width=\"627\" height=\"400\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?visual=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F1973480975&#038;show_artwork=true&#038;maxheight=941&#038;maxwidth=627\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t miss out on hearing agents and property professionals chat about topics and issues relevant to you.<\/p>\n<p>Lets Talk is available on all the usual platforms:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/lets-talk-with-citylets\">Soundcloud<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/3ako2kmE6IrAnH5S0kpzPP?si=80df461793db4a64\">Spotify<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/gb\/podcast\/lets-talk-with-citylets\/id1449158855\">Apple Podcasts<\/a>\u00a0and Citylets website,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.citylets.co.uk\/podcasts\/\">citylets.co.uk\/podcasts<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Want to get involved?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Just contact us\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:letstalk@citylets.co.uk\">letstalk@citylets.co.uk<\/a>.
