Can’t remember if I’ve mentioned the millions step challenge on here this year.

Me and my family, including my soon to be 80yr old Dad and brother in law (who are both doing 1.7m this year!) have been doing the Diabetes UK million step challenge for lots of years. Each year I question whether I should do it but fomo gets the better of me and it’s a walking rollercoaster!

The challenge is to do 1 million steps between 1 July and 30 September which works out at around 10,867 per day!

I was misdiagnosed as a type 2 diabetic in 2018 and 2022 correctly diagnosed with Type 3c diabetes. Not many know about this type but it’s linked to the pancreatitis I had in 2013 so doing this challenge means a lot to me and those around me who also have diabetes.

Anyway, that’s my Friday win this week, tell me what win you have had in the comments 😊

54,310 more homes came onto the market in England in just two weeks.

Available stock increased by 16% between 31 August and 14 September, according to research from Yopa.

For sellers, that’s more competition.

For buyers, it’s more choice.

For investors, it could mean more opportunity.

But more properties for sale doesn’t automatically mean more good deals.

The fundamentals still matter.

Does it work at today’s finance costs?

Have you stress-tested the numbers?

What’s your exit?

And most importantly:

What price does the deal work at for you?

More stock can give investors greater choice and potentially stronger negotiating positions.

Use that choice to become more selective, not less.

🎙️ SERIES 6 IS COMING!

We’re back with a brand new series of Milesh & Sadie: Property Talks.

And this time, we’re widening the conversation 👀

Property. Renovation. Design. Technology. Business. And the people behind it all.

We’ve got some brilliant guests joining us, plenty of different perspectives and, of course, Milesh and Sadie don’t agree on everything… 😂

Six new episodes. First one out tomorrow. 🎧

Many buyers wait for interest rates to drop, but it's crucial to factor in a tolerance level. When assessing deals, aim for a 6.5% interest rate buffer to build in fat and minimize risk. This approach ensures you can still fund deals even if rates fluctuate.

One client with 12 properties needed a review. We identified underperformers, leading to selling them and reinvesting in better-performing assets. That single review session paid for itself by enabling a strategic business overhaul.

Landlords: a new registration fee, new deadlines and questions about who can see your information.

The Government has published the timetable for England’s “Register your rental property” service, with an annual fee of £65 per property. Letting agents cannot do this on behalf of you.

I raised this at The Property Edge in Fareham because, from my own experience building and managing a property portfolio, the earlier you understand a change, the more time you have to make sensible decisions.

That’s what I aim to bring to these updates: what’s changing, why it matters and what to do next.

Who will have access to the information?

→ Councils will use the database to support enforcement.

→ Tenants and the public will have access to some information in a later phase. Exactly which details will be visible has not yet been published.

→ HMRC access or automatic data sharing is not confirmed in this guidance. That remains a point to watch.

Here’s the regional timetable. The dates follow the property’s location, rather than where the landlord lives.

My advice: start getting organised now.

Check your property records, agree responsibilities with your managing agent and factor the recurring cost into your numbers.

Each requirement adds to the time and cost of running a portfolio. Understanding the combined impact helps you decide whether your properties are still delivering what you need.

Do you welcome greater transparency, or have concerns about how the information will be used?

Shifting your mindset to spend money on your home for enjoyment, not just value. That garden room might not add to the price, but it could add immense value to your life. Finding that perfect balance between practicality and passion.

The buyers haven’t disappeared. Their buying power has changed.

Buyer searches: ↑ 7%

Sales agreed: ↓ 6%

And the impact of higher mortgage rates?

Someone able to borrow £200,000 in January could now borrow around £182,000 for roughly the same monthly payment in the example highlighted by Zoopla.

Around 9% less buying power.

So perhaps this isn’t simply a demand problem.

It’s an affordability problem.

And for property investors, there’s a lesson here.

Don’t start with:

“What does the seller want?”

Start with:

“What can I afford to pay for this deal to work?”

Because a good property at the wrong price can still be a bad investment.

Are you seeing sellers become more realistic on price?
