In this deeply personal episode of the Rent Perfect Podcast, host David Pickron and co-host Scot Aubrey discuss one of the hardest situations David has ever faced in over 30 years of landlording: evicting an elderly tenant who lost her home, her money, and possibly her ability to live independently.

Matteo Turi is a finance leader, investor, and board advisor who has spent nearly two decades working with businesses at pivotal moments of growth. A former CFO across biotech, SaaS, and renewable energy, he now brings the perspective of an M&A investor, currently overseeing $480M in acquisitions. Having sat on both sides of the table — scaling ventures as an operator and evaluating deals as a buyer — Matteo helps founders understand what makes a business truly attractive to investors. Watch video - https://youtu.be/YLg51IeHLvI In 2017, he created the Global Growth Blueprint to address a gap in entrepreneurial education: wealth creation. While much financial training focuses on managing capital, Matteo emphasizes building it — through monetizing intellectual property, succession and leadership planning, and global expansion. This approach has since evolved into The High Valuation Triangle, a model he applies to the five stages of business: startup, scale-up, stagnation, crisis, and exit. He shares these insights through The Exponential Blueprint newsletter, followed by over 22,000 founders, investors, and executives. In September 2025, he will launch its premium counterpart, The High Valuation Code, alongside his forthcoming book, Fail. Pivot. Scale.: Your High Valuation Code Revealed. Drawing on 21 case studies from household names like Amazon, Netflix, Tesla, and Airbnb, the book shows how the most iconic companies turned failure into fuel, pivots into turning points, and scaling into unstoppable momentum. With lessons on recognizing the right kind of failure, pivoting without losing investors, and pulling the levers that accelerate valuation, Matteo equips entrepreneurs with a practical playbook for breaking through growth barriers.

Now they want your main residence and wealth – what Rachel Reeves' latest tax proposals mean for YOU… Labour's Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, has sparked controversy with proposals that could hit UK homeowners and investors hard. She's considering a new wealth tax and extending Capital Gains Tax (CGT) to residential homes, something that has never been done before for main residences. On top of that, she's looking to reform Stamp Duty and replace it with wealth and CGT on main residences. Having f@cked the economy, the government's finances are in a mess, with the national debt standing at £2.7 trillion and rising by £5,000 every second, so Reeves is desperately scratching around to find ways to tax us even more without raising the basic income tax rate. What does this mean for property owners, landlords, and anyone planning to buy or sell? Could your family home now be seen as a taxable asset? And what impact will this have on house prices and the property market as a whole?

In this episode of Property Investing Insights with Right Property Group, Victor and Reshmi Kumar join Phil Tarrant to explore the evolving world of property investment and why creativity and financial strategy are now essential. The trio discuss how creative skills and digital innovation are reshaping investment approaches, proving it's more than just buying the right property. Victor highlights common financial myths, such as avoiding cross-securitisation or assuming trusts are always beneficial, and explains how understanding loan structuring and strategic debt can create opportunities. Reshmi challenges the notion that low risk equals success, advocating for smart leverage to grow portfolios sustainably. Planning is positioned as a roadmap, keeping investment decisions aligned with long-term goals and market dynamics. On tax, Victor reframes it as a strategic tool, while Reshmi cautions that over-focusing on minimisation can hinder wealth creation. The trio also stress the importance of asset protection and strong professional relationships for long-term portfolio resilience.

You couldn't make it up! Former homelessness Minister Rushanara Ali, MP, had to resign from her government job last week after it was revealed that she had evicted her tenants claiming that she was selling the property, but later listed it for rent at £700 per month more, a rental hike of 20%! In other words, she did the very thing her own Labour government will ban under the Tenant's Rights Bill. She has not apologised, only stated that she had not broken any laws. Whilst she is factually correct under the current rules, what she did will be outlawed next year. She is part of the government that has drafted the new rules which will end Section 21 eviction notices and ban landlords from re-listing their properties for rent if they have previously stated they were selling it for up to 12 months. Rank hypocrisy of government ministers who tell us to do as I say as I do. The Bank of England have cut interest rates from 4.25% to 4%, the lowest level for two years.

In this episode of WealthTalk, Christian Rodwell sits down with Paul Tinker, founder of the Construction Training Academy. Paul shares his journey from a disciplined career in the army to delivering over £300 million in construction projects and eventually launching a business focused on training and mentoring others in the property and construction sectors.Paul uncovers the biggest overlooked opportunities in the industry—emphasising the importance of business acumen over technical skill, and the value of bridging the gap between property developers and construction professionals.

In this episode, Christian and Kevin revisit the hot topic of the government's proposed inheritance tax (IHT) changes affecting pensions from 2027. Following a surge in listener interest, they clarify what's changed, who's now responsible, and what practical steps listeners must take to protect their wealth and family.Key Discussion Points:Background:The government plans to tax pensions on death, a major shift from past policy.The responsibility for reporting and paying this tax will now fall on personal representatives (executors), not financial services companies.Why This Matters:Most executors are chosen for trust, not financial knowledge.Executors are now legally liable for getting it right – mistakes could mean personal financial penalties.Practical Risks:Many people don't know where all their pensions are or which are taxable.Appointing a professional executor (like a bank) could cost families a significant portion of their inheritance, sometimes unnecessarily.Action Steps:Review your will and your choice of executors.Ensure your executor is financially savvy or has access to professional advice.Consolidate pensions where sensible for simplicity and clarity.Avoid defaulting to professional institutions as executors without understanding the costs.WealthBuilders' Support:WealthBuilders is creating two practical guides:For those making a will (how to choose an executor)For executors (what their new responsibilities entail)Guides will be available soon at wealthbuilders.co.uk/IHT and wealthbuilders.co.uk/executorFinal Advice:Awareness is key: know your assets, your will, and your executor's readiness.Take action now—don't wait until it's too late.Call to Action:Sign up for the forthcoming guides at wealthbuilders.co.uk/IHTReview your will and executor choicesShare this episode with anyone who has a pension and a familyContact WealthBuilders with questions or to book a call via the websiteResources Mentioned:Download our free guide on inheritance tax changes for pensions: wealthbuilders.co.uk/IHT Be the first to access our upcoming Guide for Executors — register your interest here: wealthbuilders.co.uk/executorCatch up on WealthTalks episode on IHT changes: How to Protect Your Pension from Inheritance Tax Changes Coming in 2027Connect with Us:Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and all major platforms.For more inspiring stories and actionable tips, subscribe to Wealth Talk and leave us a review!Next Steps On Your WealthBuilding Journey: Join the WealthBuilders Facebook CommunitySchedule a 1:1 call with one of our teamBecome a member of WealthBuildersIf you have been enjoying listening to WealthTalk - Please Leave Us A Review!If you enjoyed this episode, please rate and review WealthTalk on your favourite podcast platform

Some experts claim that investing in shares grows the economy, while investing in property doesn't.

In this episode of Property Investing Insights with Right Property Group, Victor and Reshmi Kumar join Phil Tarrant to unpack what “value” really means in property – and why it's much more than just the purchase price. The trio explores how value is shaped by finance, planning, taxation, and asset protection – and how smart investors use these pillars to design their decade ahead. Victor explains that interest rates are only one part of the finance equation, urging investors to understand LVRs, loan structuring, and how to use debt strategically rather than fear it. Reshmi then challenges the idea that low debt equals success, instead making the case for smart leverage that fuels sustainable portfolio growth. Planning is positioned as the strategic map for investors, helping avoid distractions and keep portfolios aligned with personal and financial goals. On tax, Victor reframes it as an opportunity rather than a burden, urging listeners to think long-term and structure their affairs accordingly. Reshmi adds that fixating on tax minimisation can sometimes hinder wealth creation – and that a balanced, strategic approach is more powerful. The pair also highlight the importance of asset protection and strong personal and professional relationships – often overlooked, but essential to portfolio longevity.

In this episode of the Urban Property Investor, I break down the debate between new construction and existing properties from an investor's perspective. Covering off topics like economic theories, property lifecycle theory, and Tobin's Q theory, it is essential to have a plan put in place with the right knowledge backing it.   If you buy property you face this problem, so tune in and get behind the debate.
