In this episode of the Property Investors Podcast, hosts Russell Leeds and Anna Leeds discuss a memorable call from an Airbnb guest who falsely claimed their property was dirty and demanded a refund. Russell shares how his cleaner's 60-second video hack, recording the property's condition post-cleaning, provided undeniable evidence that saved them from issuing a refund. They delve into handling guest complaints effectively, emphasizing empathy, listening, and collecting evidence. The discussion extends to the need for systematic documentation in property management and the importance of maintaining customer satisfaction. They also touch on the announcement of the UK's new national housing bank initiative aiming to unlock billions in private investment and streamline planning permissions, which promises significant benefits for property developers.
