🏡 Latest acquisition in Erskine, Renfrewshire!
With more landlords exiting the sector, quality rental properties are becoming increasingly hard to find. Because demand is so high, this property won't even be advertised once it's ready... we already have a tenant lined up waiting to move in.
🔨 The refurbishment starts now, with plans to complete the transformation within just 4 weeks.
We're excited to take you along for the journey and show the before, during, and after stages of the project.
📸 Follow us for regular progress updates, renovation videos, and photos as we bring this property back to life.

Here we go again.
Another debate in the Scottish Parliament about introducing new wealth taxes to fund public services.
I think most people agree that taxes are needed to pay for public services. But surely we can also agree that governments have a responsibility to spend taxpayers' money wisely and efficiently.
We've been down this road before. The theory is always the same: tax the wealthiest more and raise additional revenue. The problem is that higher taxes can change behaviour. People and businesses may choose to relocate, invest elsewhere, or reduce economic activity, resulting in a lower tax take than expected.
The Scottish Greens are once again calling for measures such as taxes on private jets and a mansion tax on homes worth £1 million or more, and now the SNP appears willing to consider these proposals.
Before introducing any new taxes, shouldn't there be proper research into the likely consequences? How much revenue is actually expected to be raised? What impact could these policies have on investment, jobs, and the wider Scottish economy? And how much existing tax revenue could be lost as a result?
These are questions that deserve clear answers before yet another tax experiment is imposed on Scotland.

More than 1,100 homeless applications in Renfrewshire should be a wake-up call, not another excuse to attack the private rental sector.
For years, landlords have faced rising costs, constant regulation changes and increasing uncertainty. The result? Many are selling up and leaving the sector altogether.
Every landlord who exits means one less home available for a tenant or family who needs it.
Instead of treating landlords as the problem, the SNP Government should start working with responsible landlords and letting agents to keep good quality homes in the market, prevent further evictions and help stabilise rents.
You cannot reduce homelessness while simultaneously shrinking the supply of rental properties. The maths simply doesn’t work.

The Private Rented Sector in Scotland is well and truly broken.
Landlords are leaving the market at an alarming rate, and honestly, it’s not hard to see why.
There are now far fewer properties available to rent, and the ones that do come onto the market are being advertised at prices never seen before.
For many tenants, securing a property now means needing a near-perfect credit score, a guarantor, and strong references. Anything less, and your chances are slim.
At the same time, investors are being driven away by:
• The 8% Additional Dwelling Supplement (second home tax)
• Constant anti-landlord rhetoric
• Proposed EPC changes and the huge costs involved
• Incoming rent controls
• The lengthy process of removing non-paying or anti-social tenants through the First-tier Tribunal
The consequences are now plain to see.
Even Shelter, once strongly critical of landlords, has recognised the damage caused by landlords exiting the sector and is now looking to engage with them.
Surely it’s time for the Scottish Government to do the same before the rental market becomes even more dysfunctional.

8 years ago this week… I took the leap. 🏡
Bought my first property, gave it a light refurb, and handed over the keys to my first tenants. Simple start… but it lit the fuse.
Fast forward to today and it’s been a journey of deals, lessons, wins, setbacks, late nights, early mornings… and plenty of “what am I doing?” moments 😅
But here we are…
Still buying.
Still building.
Still renting.
Brick by brick, deal by deal. 🧱
And we’re only just getting started. 🚀

Johnstone Refurb Update.

This one’s moving FAST now

Kitchen was skimmed on Friday and already taking shape — units and worktops are in. Just the finishing touches left: backsplash, doors, drawers, and cornicing.

Upstairs is coming together nicely — bannister fitted and primed, skirting boards in across all 3 bedrooms, and everything painted fresh white. Clean slate ready to go.

This week’s the big push:
• Plastering to be wrapped up (just hall & living room left)
• Kitchen fully completed
• Laminate flooring going down in the hall & living room
• Painting continuing downstairs

Still on track for a 4-week turnaround — no drama (so far 😅)

I’ll get another video up on TikTok tomorrow so you can see the progress properly.

Follow along for the full transformation… and a bit of exciting news coming soon.
