A remarkable 18-year-old from Caterham, Surrey, has taken the property development world by storm by successfully completing his first major redevelopment project while making a record-breaking appearance on the popular television show, Homes Under The Hammer.
James Stock, despite his young age, assumed the role of project manager for a barn conversion that was part of a larger £3 million redevelopment endeavour, all while balancing his commitments to A-Level exams. This project has now been confirmed as one of the most significant property developments ever showcased on the widely-watched television program.
James’s achievement highlights that age is no obstacle to pursuing a career in the property industry, provided one has access to the right training and dedication to the task at hand.
Reflecting on his journey, James shared, “I’ve been passionate about entering the property development field for some time now. Several months ago, I embarked on online studies with Property Training Limited. Their property management modules equipped me with the fundamental knowledge I needed. Managing the development alongside my A-Level studies was challenging, but I felt well-prepared, thanks to the comprehensive training I received.”
The development James was involved in encompassed the conversion of five barns, initially purchased for £300,000, into three barn conversions and a brand-new farmhouse. These barn conversions fetched prices ranging from approximately £700,000 to £750,000 each, while the farmhouse is anticipated to be valued at around £850,000. The success of this project can be attributed to the knowledge and expertise James gained through Property Training’s online modules. These modules offer essential property development skills and are available through a monthly subscription, starting at just £9.99 per month.
Paul, an Experienced Property Developer and Author from Property Training Limited, expressed his pride in James’s remarkable accomplishment, stating, “James’s success underscores the effectiveness of our online property training courses. He has demonstrated that anyone, regardless of age or background, can achieve remarkable feats with the right guidance and support. We are incredibly proud of his achievements and for setting such an impressive record on Homes Under the Hammer.”
