Sorry I’ve been quiet… we’re due to complete on a deal that has been a long time in the making on Monday… and right on cue, everything is happening at once 🙃

Weeks of silence.
Then suddenly:
• “urgent enquiries”
• last-minute documents
• everyone chasing everyone
• and a chain that could fall apart if someone sneezes

Standard. 🙄

After 15+ years in property, one thing is crystal clear:

👉 if you’re not actively managing your solicitor, things WILL drift

You don’t need to be difficult — but you do need to:
✔️ chase regularly
✔️ keep pressure on
✔️ make sure your deal stays front of mind

No one cares about your transaction as much as you do.

Anyway… let’s see if we actually complete on Monday 🤞

OK it’s a long one… but an important one under the current circumstances.

Key takeaways:
If you’re already in - hold and enjoy your rental income.
If you’re on the outside looking in - swoop while the uncertainty lasts!

Let me know if you agree, or if you see a different outcome.

“That’s us. We’re done. No good.”

That’s not a general proclamation about life, but it is where we’ve got to on the idea of buying in the Morzine/ Avoriaz area.

French purchase costs (notaries, legal fees, taxes etc) on top of the price of the property itself are just the starting point.

Ongoing costs like: more taxes, service charges (if it’s an apartment), cleaning after every guest, laundering of linen and towels, buying linen and towels, and furniture, then replacing it all when people abuse it, maintenance, utilities, random unforeseeable problems like a boiler or a leak - things you don’t plan for.

And of course the fact that the rental value is highest precisely when YOU want to use it, so the dilemma of whether you should or not.

So yes, we were very keen.

But no, we’re not doing it.

We’re celebrating today 🥳🍾🎉🥂🎊

Four long-awaited mortgage offers issued today!!

A strong milestone — and one that reflects months of research, number-crunching and negotiation work long before submission.

Lenders don’t just assess the property.
They assess:
The borrower.
The structure.
The portfolio.
The sustainability of the plan.

At offer stage, strategy is either validated — or exposed.

This is why we focus heavily on getting the foundations right at the beginning.

Structure first.
Stress test early.
Clarity before commitment.

Now we move into legals and completion… Watch this space!

If you’re considering acquisitions this year, the most valuable work happens before the application is ever sent.

That’s where we operate.

Get in touch and be sure you’re getting things right from the off.

Our portfolio is still primarily UK-based, and that remains our main focus.

But responsible investing means regularly reviewing other markets and understanding how they compare — demand, yields, regulation and tax treatment included.

Next week we’re in Morzine meeting agents, viewing properties and assessing whether a holiday-let model in the Alps could add diversification to the portfolio.

No assumptions — just research, due diligence and numbers.

That’s how we approach every investment at 8on.

You don’t lose money only when you spend it.

You lose it when it sits still.

Inflation quietly chips away at cash every year.
Meanwhile, the right assets are paying income and growing in value.

Doing nothing feels safe.
But it’s usually the most expensive option.

If you want your money working harder — not just sitting in the bank — I help people build simple, sensible property strategies that actually perform.

Message me and we’ll talk it through.

This is my ‘figuring it out’ face. 🤣

Running the numbers. 🧮
Spotting the risks. ⚠️
Finding the angles others miss. 💡

Because good property decisions aren’t luck — they’re thoroughly thought through.

With the Bank of England base rate held at 3.75%, borrowing costs are becoming more predictable — and that’s creating opportunity.

Lower rates mean:
• cheaper refinancing
• improved yields
• more confident buyers

Smart investors move when the data shifts — not when the headlines shout.

What are you planning next — buy, refinance or hold?

Everyone asks for the solution.

Few stop to check the order:

👉 Situation
👉 Strategy
👉 Structure
👉 Solution

-Start with your current situation.
-Define the strategy & end goal.
-Let that dictate the structure.

Only then do you build the solution that actually gets you there.

Clarity beats complexity. Every time.

You’ve got to take the tax wins where you can find them in the current environment.

Your accountant won’t offer property-specific business/ structure advice. And your lawyer won’t offer accountancy advice.

Even ChatGPT can only give you the right answers if you’re asking the right questions.

Get in touch to talk through your whole situation, structure and strategy and come up with a solution that’s right for you.
