#219Finding trustworthy people to work with is probably the biggest challenge facing remote investors of UK Property. Charles H Green is the author of The Trusted Advisor and founder of Trusted Advisors Associates.He has been exploring, researching and advising on TRUST for more than 25 years.Few people on the planet know as much about the topic of trust as Charlie.We discuss:Two sides of trust: Trust involves both being trustworthy and being willing to trust others. You have to focus on both.Reciprocity drives trust: Trust is often reciprocal—when you show trust, others are more likely to trust you in return.Taking risks is necessary: You can't build trust without taking some level of risk. Playing it safe all the time leads nowhere.Transactional relationships hinder deep trust: Approaching interactions as one-off transactions limits the potential for strong, trust-based relationships.Intelligent risk is key: Trusting everyone is naïve, but starting with a default of intelligent trust (and waiting to be disproven) opens more doors.Practical actions matter: Demonstrate transparency and be willing to admit when you don't know the answer—it builds credibility and trust.The Trust Equation: Trustworthiness = (Credibility + Reliability + Intimacy) / Self-Orientation. Intimacy (emotional safety) is the strongest factor.Self-orientation reduces trust: The more you're focused on yourself (nervous, self-absorbed), the less trustworthy you seem.Women and older people appear more trustworthy: Data from Charlie's Trust Quotient (TQ) self-assessment shows women outperform men on intimacy, and trustworthiness increases with age.Listening is crucial: True listening (to make others feel heard, not just to collect info) initiates and strengthens trust.Building trust can be rapid: Trust doesn't necessarily take years—it can be established quickly through genuine, meaningful interactions.Trust-creation process: The key steps are: engaging, listening, framing (posing hypotheses), envisioning, and committing.Institutional vs. personal trust: Institutional trust is “thin” and relies on reputation and track records; personal trust is “thick” and more emotionally nuanced.Testing and mitigating trust: Responsible due diligence is important, but one of the best ways to assess someone's trustworthiness is to trust them first in small ways and see how they respond.This episode is the sequel to #215 Don't Know Who to Trust in UK Property?I'd Like Help With Setting My GoalsExclusive Property Engine discounts (Code: EXPAT)Starter package: 30 day trial instead of the usual 14Pro package  30 day trial, then 3 months 1/2 price Ultimate package launches that will be the same, 1/2 price for 3 monthsLeave a reviewJoin our WhatsApp  group / access  37 Question Due Diligence Checklist / 23 Step Guide to Buying Property at AuctionInstagramKeywordstrust, UK property investing, remote investing, expat investors, finding trustworthy people, The Trusted Advisor, trust equati

Buy-to-Let UK Property Companies Soar After Section 24 Tax on Landlords

The number of UK buy-to-let property companies listed at Companies House has soared to record levels since George Osbourne introduced his ‘Section 24’ tax bombshell on landlords. If you are stuck in the Section 24 tax trap contact me at charles@charleskelly.net to arrange a free consultation with a property tax specialist. There are now over 400,000 limited property companies registered, more than any other businesses and four times as many as fast food firms. Since 2016 there has been a fourfold rise in incorporated buy-to-let businesses, much of which is due to George Osbourne’s ‘Section 24’ tax hike on landlords. The change in the law meant that buy-to-let landlords with properties held in their own names could no longer offset mortgage interest against their rent (pre-profit gross income). Almost 700,000 properties are now held in limited companies, rather than in individual names, which has become the standard method used to buy investment property in the UK.

Many people believe that to make money in UK property, you need substantial savings for deposits and renovation costs. However, it is possible to invest in property with little to no money of your own. In my latest Charles Kelly Money Tips Podcast, I explore strategies that can help you get started in UK property without using your own cash. Joint Ventures are one popular method. By partnering with investors who have capital but lack the time or expertise, you can bring your skills to the table and share profits. The key is finding the right partner and offering value. Another strategy is rent-to-rent, where you lease a property from a landlord and then rent it out for a higher rate. This method allows you to generate cash flow without needing a large upfront investment. Property sourcing is another option. You find properties below market value and sell them to investors for a fee. This requires market knowledge and negotiation skills but can be a great way to make money without buying property yourself. Lastly, creative financing techniques, like lease options, allow you to control a property now and purchase it later, often with no deposit required. Watch video version - https://youtu.be/YJ6MsVzq7DA By leveraging these strategies, you can get started in property investment even if you don't have your own cash.
