Wealth Through Property

Product Information

Paul Smith is a label that has become synonymous with classic British tailoring and style. Inspired by the traditional British menswear he admired as young boy - such as his brother's Post Office shirts and the tweeds of the Nottinghamshire country set - Smith's greatest attribute is simplicity. He has described his designs as "well-made, good quality, simple cut, interesting fabric, easy to wear" and often adds a splash of vibrant colour, a floral print or his signature multi-coloured stripes.

It was at this point in the book that I found myself slightly confused. As is to be expected, Sagar arrives at Smith’s famous addition to the theories of incentive and pride by distinguishing them from Rousseau’s. He argues that whilst Rousseau saw ‘vanity’ as inherently corrupting, Smith makes a subtle distinction between praise and praiseworthiness, the latter ‘required to secure the possibility of genuine virtue in a world where ethical practices and values were ultimately a function of deep-rooted conventions of social interaction’ (127, 131). Sagar shows that Smith’s conjectures on pride, praise and incentive were not responses to Rousseau but more accurately aimed at the more developed works of Hume. That taking a BB loan may impact your ability to get finance in the future due to the admittance of being “adversely affected by C19”. This is already proving to be the case as lenders are starting to include Covid19 in their under-writing protocols. Paul is one of the most impressive people I’ve met. His achievements are many and spectacular, obviously, but it’s his generosity, openness and democratic spirit that draw me to him. He’s remarkable, as is Pauline, in his pioneering work helping a great number of young artists and other people in need of a hand. It’s admirable when anyone who achieves a great deal remains intact. Paul is funny and clever and kind, and I’m proud to be mistaken for him. The thought of owning and letting out property appeals to many, but the journey to building wealth through property investing involves more than just collecting rent. Indeed, as the Wealth Through Property event summarises, becoming successful in property requires an understanding of several key strategies. Potential property investors can progress further by engaging in proven techniques and applying them to their chosen ventures. A spokesman for the British Business Bank (BBB) said it was closely monitoring the situation. It has set up a fraud prevention working group that is co-hosted weekly by UK Finance, the lending body, and Cifas, the fraud prevention service. Members include lenders accredited by the BBB.However, this is a minor consideration in an extremely thorough and engaging book. Sagar’s writing is not only incisive, but eminently readable, offering doses of humour alongside penetrating analysis. In Chapter Four, for instance, Sagar goes into detailed discussion of Smith’s criticism of an obsession with the means of Utility over actual Utility, using an amusing and engaging anecdote of his own experience to criticise ‘retail therapy’ as a paradigmatic example of Smith’s feared obsession with the ‘mechanisms of happiness’ over happiness itself (174-76). Smith’s most notable achievement, he says, is continuity. “How many bands or restaurants or designers have you seen that have been very popular and then have suddenly disappeared? I think the one interesting thing for me is that I’ve never been number one, but I’ve always managed to sell in many countries around the world and stay independent and financially sound,” says Smith. “So, more of the same, please.”

The ‘Four Stages of History’ theory is, in other words, a thought experiment. Smith’s depiction of history is better understood as a catalogue of unexpected and contingent events. Sagar makes it very clear that ‘commercial society’ is not a product of modernity but a mode of being between states that is always a possibility within certain conditions that are by no means limited to modernity (ancient China is one example). I first bumped into Paul Smith in Covent Garden on my return to London from Japan at the end of the ’70s. His shop was near Hester van Royen’s gallery, and Hester and I had just started dating. It was heartening to encounter a straightforward northerner with a taste for simplicity in clothes who also shared my love of serious cycling. It’s been a very nice 40 years of casual meetings, each reaffirming how comfortable we are in one another’s company. Despite his earlier accident, Smith has maintained his interest in cycling and is an avid follower of professional racers. He dressed professional cyclists and Olympic winners Sir Chris Hoy and Bradley Wiggins CBE for their various official engagements, following their successes at the 2008 Beijing games.These clients will stay with me forever! They are so grateful and nothing feels better than helping a human achieve a dream. You are FANTASTIC Paul, you are changing my life in an incredible way, my journey is still at it's infancy, but I know it's going to be successful." Important details about the property market – including rent to buy, commercial property and serviced accommodation – will also be discussed, as Smith is a well-informed and successful figure in the world of property investment. Commercial property is an area of the property market where Smith is very well-established. Therefore, he is often able to teach his students about this lesser-known investing option, opening their eyes to the opportunities that commercial property holds. He won Menswear Designer of the Year and Women's Contemporary Designer of the Year at the British Style Awards in 2003.

I originally met Paul in the latter part of the ’60s, around Chelsea, and remember having conversations with him when he was working on a project with Paul Reeves at The Universal Witness (on Fulham Road). Our paths crossed many times over the next few decades. I heard his name a lot on the road – Paul seemed to be the only foreign designer who was known in Japan. Often when I meet people, I might remark on a piece of their clothing. When they say, “It’s Paul Smith”, it’s with affection and respect that, I must say, we all share.

Flip or Flop: The Ultimate Guide to Property Flipping

Importantly, this argument is put forward in Smith’s Lectures on Jurisprudence, which Sagar shows to be developed and matured in The Wealth of Nations ten years later. Here, Smith uses the terms ‘unnatural and retrograde’ to explain the development of European feudal-based societies, (largely) moving on from the Four Stages theory (27-28). This distinction is what sets wise property investors apart. They don’t rely on appreciation alone to deliver results , but instead make their decisions based on sound investing principles. They know that if a property produces more income than it costs, it will be a successful venture . Such investors don’t worry much about what the market does, as their decisions are designed to keep their investments safe during downturns. I remember buying my first suit after I left university in a shop in Bath. It looked like one of my dad’s suits and it seemed infinitely cool in the ’80s – it turned out that there was a label inside with the signature “Paul Smith”; at the time I had no idea that there was such a person. I bought it and was instantly hooked.

Having neatly distinguished Smith’s economic from political theory, Sagar turns in Chapter Two to understand what Smith actually meant by one of the terms most commonly attributed to him – ‘liberty’. Here, Sagar moves slowly and carefully, especially with ‘Smith’s published works never explicitly stating what he takes liberty to be’ (55). The scheme helps small and medium-sized businesses to borrow between �2,000 and up to 25% of their turnover. The maximum loan available is �50,000.
