Another incredible evening at Property & Poppadoms in Wakefield. Inspiring stories from everyone, genuine conversations and a few coffee meetups already in the diary. This is exactly how real relationships get built, one conversation at a time.

If we met you last night it was so lovely to connect, we can't wait to catch up properly! ☕😊

Thank you to Anne Body and Sarah-Jane Wilson for hosting ❤️

One of the best things about this journey? The people you meet along the way.

Yesterday we visited a fellow property investor, someone who's been in the game a long time. We walked his latest project, talked BRR strategy, shared tradespeople and swapped ideas.

And honestly? There's something so exciting about walking into a fully stripped out property. Most people would see a mess. We see potential. We see what it's going to become- beautiful home!

What made it extra special was how much we had in common and not just property. We're talking life sciences, shared passions and a similar outlook on life. Sometimes the universe just puts the right people in front of you.

Actual relationships with people who get it, share knowledge and lift each other up. That's real connection.

We're just getting started, but we're definitely not doing it alone.

Mike will be sharing how AI-powered virtual staging is helping landlords, investors, and agents rent properties faster, attract more enquiries, and market deals more effectively — without the huge cost of traditional staging.

After struggling with expensive staging quotes on their own BRR project, Mike and his wife Agita created StageVeo — an AI staging platform that transforms empty rooms into professionally staged marketing images in under 30 seconds.

Keys handed over and tenant moving in 🔑

For us, being a good landlord matters just as much as the refurb itself. We wanted our first tenant to walk in and feel welcome from the very first moment.

A happy tenant is everything. That's the kind of landlords we want to be.

Project 1. Complete. In every way that counts.

Personal invitation this early morning to our open day 😌

Every property in a portfolio represents a choice. A deliberate decision to do something differently. To invest time, energy and capital into something that works for you, not just the other way around.

That's what drew us to property.

Time freedom. Financial freedom. The ability to design life on our own terms rather than waiting for someone else to give us permission.

We're not there yet. We're one project in. The portfolio is just beginning.

But every single project gets us one step closer. And that's more than enough to keep us going on the hard days.

Something we've been watching closely in the property market right now.
Is 2026 a good time to invest in property? Here's our honest take:
The market is more complex than it was five years ago. But for BRR investors who are disciplined and strategic, the opportunity is actually really strong right now.
Here's why:
🏠 Rental supply is still 23% below pre-pandemic levels, demand remains solid

📋 The Renters Rights Act is pushing less committed landlords OUT of the market, creating buying opportunities for serious investors

💷 Many landlords are actively selling their portfolios right now because of new compliance pressures, motivated sellers, less competition

📍 Regional markets like ours in the North of England continue to outperform London on yields

The investors who embrace compliance, refurbish to a high standard and buy strategically will be very well positioned over the next 12-24 months.
