Quick WIN that put a smile on my face today.

Got this image from a client of mine.

We secured him a property that generated income from day 1

Great location with huge regeneration

But...
.. the rent was not at market value.

So our letting agency took on the property and strategically.

21/08/2026

The right team is at the heart of turning an opportunity into a reality.

We secured a really solid property for a client only to get a'NO' from the banks.

The property was off-market and direct to seller.

The property is a 3 bed bungalow and already tenanted....generating a 12.9% return on capital employed, from day 1.

Our client is a busy business owner looking to turn his business profits into a property portfolio that provides growth and legacy.

So this property was a nice acquisition to add to the portfolio we plan to start and grow for them.

But...

The issue was that the bank he banks with said no to providing a mortgage shring it didn't fit their minimum value criteria.

This was the same bank he worked with 10+ years and whom was always pitching for his business to provide buy-to-let lending.

One conversation with me and my mortgage broker and 2 days later, a suitable mortgage was found at a rate that was even better than the one his bank was quoting.

This is just some of the challenges that I help our clients face when starting or growing their proprty portfolio, especially from a distance and juggling a hectic family and work life.

Reminder that it's often not what you know, but who you know.

Property number 5

Popped into to check in on the finishing touches of property number 5 for one of our clients.

I absolutely love the finish of the kitchen.

The kitchen was in solid condition but the colour style was slightly dated.

So rather than rip it out and put a brand new kitchen in, we had the kitchen spray painted and new splashback and worktop fitted.

Saving our clients a few thousand, but still getting the same impact.

First time I've had a kitchen sprayed but definitely something I'll be looking to do more often where relevant.

Anyway, this property has now been rented and the tenant moves in a couple of weeks.

So smiles all around.

👉 Ps. Let me know what you think of the kitchen upgrade? Yay or Nay?

We cut ties...

Before we even got started.

It's rare that I let a new builder into my circle as I've had bad, bad experiences over the years, across my properties and properties under management.

It's probably a big cause of my hair loss 🤣 🤣

So I thought I was close to bringing on a new build team that fit my values... but it turned sour very quickly.

They were initially proactive, communicative and had alignment on calmness.

Then communication started dwindling From a 24 hour response to 3 days to 7 days.

And that was just at quote stage.

I cut ties.

Why?

As if this is how it is at quote stage...how would it be during refurbishment.

Managing my own properties is one thing, but then managing those of my clients adds another layer of responsibility.

Yes, problems often arise during refurbishments and surprises occur, but if the build team won't even reply then it quickly goes downhill from there.

That's one of the stages I help my clients with when they choose to work with me.

They can leave it to us or be involved as much as as they want during the refurb, but that the build team or my team will be on hand from start to finish.

Ps. Do you think I was too harsh to cut ties so soon?

May sound like a broken record from me

But in 2026+ this is my favourite property buying strategy.

It's buying an existing performing property portfolio.

Why?

Because you have 'old school' landlords leaving the market due to being fed up because of having to cope with the changing regulatory landscape.

Renters' Rights Act, Section 24, Making Tax Digital etc.

The majority of them have been self-managing landlords and have become 'tired'.

They've made their money and are ready to hand over the banton.

Many times these are portfolios with solid properties, well looked after but usually with rent below the market average.

Because they've made their money but appreciate the rent is lower than the average, it creates a win-win.

Buying a portfolio with instant equity which more then compensates for the reduced rent.

And with a great property manager in place, they will strategically increase rents (even with the Renter's RIght Act changes).

Here's an example (acquired by one of my clients).

Portfolio of 4 properties
Rent: £2400 per month
Value: £320,000
Purchased for £280,000 with not one thing to do cosmetically.

Even without increasing the rent the portfolio is performing really well.

Yes, you have to be an 'experienced' landlord to meet the lender requirements but it's a lot less restrictive than what you may expect 😀

"Follow the Money, Not the Headlines."

Said my mortgage broker.

So I had a conversation with a new mortgage broker I am working with.

For context, this mortgage broker primarily works with net-worth individuals with personal net-wealth no less than £5M. The individuals who don't just buy 1 or 2 properties a year, but 5, 10, 20 and more in one transaction.

I was fortunate enough to get access to him through a business associate of mine.

And naturally through our conversations I got to asking him his thoughts on the Renters' Right Act.

His answer..."I love it".

My clients are buying even more now than in the past few years.

He shared the smart money is seeing this as a great time to add to their portfolio as it's become a Buyer's market.

"Follow the Money, Not the Headlines."

Is what he kept emphasising.

It's interesting, as economically and politically there's a lot of uncertainty.

And it's in uncertainty that hard assets like property, when bought right and with the right management teams in play, benefit.

"Yes, that's an option. But there's probably a better way."

That's what I told a potential client recently.

He's a serviceman with £120k to invest, a hectic career, and limited time. He'd been watching YouTube videos and wanted to go all-in on Buy-Refurb-Refinance.

I get the appeal. I use that strategy myself for select clients. But for a new investor? It can be risky:

⚠️ Unexpected costs and delays are common
⚠️ Your end valuation is down to a valuer's opinion
⚠️ Top-tier locations rarely fit the numbers

He had 10+ years left in service and just wanted 3-5 properties to supplement his income. So here's what I recommended instead:

✅ Buy 2-3 low-hassle properties
✅ In quality areas with strong fundamentals (both rental and appreciation wise)
✅ Refinance in 3-5 years using saved income and growth

Not flashy. Not a story you'd brag about to your family and friends. But it matches his timeline, experience, and risk tolerance.

Was I wrong to tell him that? 👇 Let me know your thoughts.

An average of 83,000 children in the UK each year are in care!

This made my heart drop.

I read a report this week which revealed this startling stat!

They receive care, accommodation or placement by the local authority each year.

This drew me back to some HARD times I had in my life.

One of which was when I was fresh out of college.

I was on a pay-on-performance contract and remember when I couldn't even afford petrol to get to work. My mum would give me £50 each week which would go to my fuel.

But once that was gone...it was gone.

That was difficult.

Calling in saying I was sick...but really because my fuel had run out.

So reading this alongside a number of white papers has really lit a fire in my heart to revisit and reflect on what I want to be driven by.

A move away from a random goal because it sounds good.

But a goal that also has a social impact...Impact Investing!

This means
a change of vision statements for all companies.
Setting a different standard for my team
Refining the quality of clients we attract and serve.

Will the change be challenging? I expect so.

But will the result be worth it? Most definitely.

19/06/2026

The past 14 days have been hard...

🫠 Delays with legal completions due to title issues
🫠 A refurbishment going on much longer than expected due to quality standards being lower than expected
🫠 A tenant giving notice within 24 hours of moving in, despite no issues found during the Check-In
🫠 Renegotiating a deal due to survey findings and having a every word under the sun screamed at us from the seller

But whilst these have caused my blood to boil at times, there's always a silver lining

✅ 4 properties secured within the past 48 hours
✅ 3 portfolio negotiations at advance stages which will make great purchases for my hand-selected portfolio investors
✅ Connecting with a fellow property business owner who grew their business to annual revenues of £30M and being introduced to their finance team who are absolute finance wizards

Yes, I may have encountered a rough season but...seasons always change. (If you know, you know 🙂)

Property one completed. Yay 🤙

This is the first of two properties purchased by clients who recently retired.

They worked hard for the last 30+ years

But had little to no retirement pot.

So after being referred by one of their family members, we've created a plan to have them acquire 2 properties over the next 3-6 months with a limited budget.

So they can create a supplementary income alongside their pension.

This property was bought for £67,000

And with a light refurb (£4k), its expected to rent for £625-650 per month.

We have 2 letting agents collaborating on this.

Our typical agent who will manage the property and a local agent who will complete the tenant find.

The local agent already manages several properties on the same road that is in a lower standard and rents for more than £700 pcm.

So we may even get more than we planned for our client.

The biggest take-away for me...work with those who adopt a collaborative and abundant mindset.
