First Speaker – Jo Parker-Liddle
‘Permitted Development for your Property Projects’
How to use permitted development for your property investments without having to go through the painful process of planning.
Planning can often be a costly and uncertain route due to shortages of staffing in local authorities, lack of resources and often having to appease the personal opinion of just one planning department or officer. It can take months and sometimes years to get your project through this process without any certainty you’ll get the planning you need to make it work. Meanwhile you’re often covering the cost of expensive bridging or development finance with no set end date in sight.
Jo will share a brief guide to legislation used to make the most of some of your projects without having to go through the uncertainty of planning and what to look out for when searching for your next project.
Jo is the Founder/Managing Director of Parker Liddle Architecture, a Senior Architectural Technologist, planning gain expert and developer with a 99% success rate at planning. With 2 decades of experience in Architecture and Construction, a BA (Hons) in Architectural Design and is an affiliate of the Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists.
Specialising in both residential and commercial design and with many years’ additional experience in interior design and project management.

Jo has a passion for helping and empowering other people and believes there is always a path to achieving your goals no matter what the obstacle.
She has done a variety of property training including 3 masterminds. Alongside providing services to help property investors with their projects, Jo also offers JV’s providing the team and experience on a variety of projects from HMO’s to new build developments and everything in between.
Main Speaker – Anthony Bailey-Grice
Anthony Bailey-Grice is the Managing Director of LNPG, the Landlords National Purchasing Group. Having fallen through university with a degree in English and Creative Writing, Anthony found himself sitting in the contracts division of one of the UK’s biggest manufacturers – suddenly responsible for generating millions of pounds worth of business in one of the most secretive, political, and misunderstood divisions in business today.
As the years passed, Anthony decided life would be much easier as a customer and joined forces with a burgeoning buying group of property investors, known as LNPG. Today LNPG stands as the largest buying group for private landlords in the UK, having spent more than £20 million as a group last year alone.
In his talk, Anthony will break down the secrets of contract pricing that have locked property investors out of the game for decades and show you in black and white where and how you can make thousands of pounds in long and short-terms savings by leveraging the buying power of over 5,500 landlords.

Speakers
Alan Barker
Alan has been helping property and business owners make successful building insurance claims for the last 20 years. As a successful local property investor with a multi-million property portfolio, I am only too aware of the need to protect your assets should disaster strike and your property is damaged, and it is then necessary to make an insurance claim. In 2002 having just fully refurbished a property and let it to a tenant, just 6 weeks later the property was destroyed by fire and while I was naturally worried, upset and devasted by the incident, no one was injured, and the property was insured so I thought all would be well again soon. Enter the world of murky insurance claims, it had never crossed my mind that the insurance claim I made would be investigated and then declined. Home insurance is meant to protect the most valuable things we own: our properties and possessions. This insurance is made up of two parts. First is buildings cover, which pays out if a physical property is damaged, and second is contents insurance, which covers the items inside it. Yet many massive insurance firms, including several top-ten insurers, shoot down almost half of all claims, according to the latest worrying figures from regulator the Financial Conduct Authority. (This is Money April 2025)
At this event – Learn how to protect what’s rightfully yours and how you can turn the tables on the insurers and significantly increase the chances of making a successful building insurance claim.
