Explaining more about the motivation behind setting up the property podcast, Phil – who is also the founding director of property advice website Move iQ – said:
'My idea behind the Movie iQ website and the Move iQ property podcast is that everyone should be able to access and benefit from impartial and professional property advice. Whether you're buying or renting I wanted to share my experience to give you the tools, the knowledge and the confidence to secure your perfect pad and help make the process as smooth and as enjoyable as possible.
'And of course get yourself the best possible deal. My mission is to empower the home mover before, during and after the move.'
We're keeping our fingers crossed that Season 2 is in the pipeline!
