#229You've probably heard lots of people in UK Property talking about creative strategies such as Vendor Finance, Control Now Buy Later or Exchange with Delayed Completion.Maybe you're a little sceptical about the true potential of these lesser known property tools, particularly as an overseas, remote investor. In this week's show,, I talk to Motiul Islam a seasoned property investor with over 20 years of experience, known for his transparency, willingness to share knowledge, and problem-solving approach to property investment.Motiul takes us through a deal he's doing in Doncaster which involves buying a multi-unit freehold block, title splitting, planning gain, exchange with delayed completion and commercial finance.During the episode, among other things, we discuss:Creative Property Strategies: vendor finance, exchange with delayed completion and purchase lease options.Investing in London vs. the North: Motiul explains why traditional buy-to-let doesn't work well in London due to low yields / high costs, but “forcing” capital appreciation through developments can be lucrative down south.Adding Value in Property Deals: Side extensions, loft conversions, and title splits to add value and increase returns in more expensive regions.Cost Barriers in London Development: Financial hurdles facing small developers including high material/labour costs, Stamp Duty, Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL), and Section 106 (affordable housing) contributions.Finding Property Deals through Networking: Networking as the primary way to source deals, with referrals, joint ventures, and people bringing opportunities.Title Splitting Example: Motiul breaks down a real-life deal in Doncaster, where a block of flats was purchased on an Exchange with Delayed Completion with plans for title splitting, refurbishments, and lease creation—resulting in significant uplift in property value.Lease Options & Vendor Finance Realities: Misconceptions about these strategies. They are always about solving the vendor's problem—not quick, easy fixes for investors.Remote Investing as an Expat: How feasible these strategies are for remote investors, including the importance of viewing properties (personally or via trusted contacts/companies).Tenant Issues & Evictions: Motiul shares a challenging experience with a problematic tenant in a London HMO and the eviction process, emphasizing the unpredictable, human side of property management.Networking & Mindset Advice: not just to find deals but to learn, support others, and solve problems.I'd Like Help With Setting My GoalsLeave a reviewJoin our WhatsApp group / access 37 Question Due Diligence Checklist / 23 Step Guide to Buying Property at AuctionInstagramExclusive Property Engine discounts (Code: EXPAT)Starter package: 30 day trialPro package 30 day trial, then 3 months 1/2 price, Ultimate package, 1/2 price 3 monthsKeywordsUK property, UK property investment, London property investment, creative property investing, vendor finance UK, purchase lease options UK, exchange with delayed completion, adding value property, title splitting, expat property investors, UK buy-to-let, networking UK property, property strategies UK, landlord advice UK, problem tenants UK, PPN Stratford, investing in London property

This signals economic stability and opportunities for investors to fix rates and secure cash flow. Developers like Barrett Redrow face challenges due to high rates and reduced demand, especially in London.UK house prices rose 3.9% year-on-year to £269,000, with rental prices in London hitting a record £2,252/month. New build sales remain low, while first-time buyer activity has picked up.

#225Do you know your bitumen from your Bressummer Beams? Your helical bars from your horizontal beds? Or your cavity walls from your crack monitoring studs?This week, we fill one more gap in the back catalogue with a deep dive into all things structural.Paul Fowler is a surveyor with 20 years experience and a particular interest in subsidence.We discuss:· Key Warning Signs Outside the Property: Start your property viewing before leaving the car! Find out how cracks and distortions on surrounding buildings can indicate (or rule out) costly issues like subsidence.· How Trees Affect UK Properties: Learn why trees, especially on clay soils, cause 60–85% of UK subsidence claims—and when removing a tree might create a bigger problem called ‘heave.'· Roof and Damp Risks: Discover why replacing slate with concrete roof tiles can cause ‘roof spread,' how to identify potential damp issues from outside, and what the damp proof course should look like.· Crack Types (and When to Worry!): Paul breaks down different cracks: harmless thermal movement and decoration cracks, versus those diagonal cracks (especially wider at the top around doors and windows) that could signal structural movement or subsidence.· Inside Inspection: Tips for checking the loft for spray foam insulation (a growing problem for mortgage lenders), identifying asbestos, and what cracks inside the house actually mean.· Crack Monitoring & Insurance: How surveyors track structural movement using crack-monitoring studs, when to involve insurers, and what coverage is typical for UK property owners—including excess amounts and exclusions.· Renovation and Remediation Costs: From simple repairs to advanced underpinning or resin injection, get a sense of what fixing serious structural problems might cost—and why these issues can represent a genuine opportunity for savvy investors.I'd Like Help With Setting My GoalsLeave a reviewJoin our WhatsApp group / access 37 Question Due Diligence Checklist / 23 Step Guide to Buying Property at AuctionInstagramExclusive Property Engine discounts (Code: EXPAT)Starter package: 30 day trialPro package 30 day trial, then 3 months 1/2 price, Ultimate package, 1/2 price 3 monthsKeywordsProperty viewing tips UK, UK buy-to-let investment, UK property insurance tips, How to spot subsidence UK, Common structural problems UK houses, Bay window subsidence UK, Bressamer beam UK explanation, UK property cracks what to look for, Heave vs subsidence UK, Dealing with damp in UK property, Roof spread in UK houses, Spray foam insulation UK warning, Asbestos in UK homes, Underpinning cost UK, Helical bars for UK property, UK property maintenance podcast, UK property surveyor advice, Investment property red flags UK, Street view for property checks UK, Expat property story

#223EPC knowledge represents the ultimate difference between UK property survival or total business collapse.Understanding the changes to Energy Performance Certificates is absolutely critical.EPCs are actually a bigger deal than the renters rights bill. Make sure you listen to the end of the show for the actions you need to take to make sure you're not caught out.And, for the opportunites that all of this could create.This episode leans heavily on content from The Independent Landlord's website and YouTubeIn this episode:EPC Changes Looming: All rental properties to achieve a minimum C by 2030 (2028 for new tenancies).Massive Financial Impact: The collective cost to landlords for meeting these new EPC requirements is estimated at £36 billion (upgrade costs capped at £15,000 per property)Flaws in the Current EPC System: The present system criticized for its subjectivity and questionable accuracy, prompting a complete overhaul of assessment methodology from 2026.Shift from Cost to Carbon: EPC assessments will transition from being based on energy cost to focusing on fabric performance, heating system efficiency, and “smart readiness,” aligned with the UK's net zero emissions goal by 2050.Shortage of Skilled Tradespeople: shortage estimated at 500,000 over the next 5 years, potentially rising retrofit costs.Limited Exemptions and Grants: While listed buildings are exempt, grants like the Energy Company Obligation and Warmer Homes Scheme are available, subject to strict eligibility criteria.Advice for Landlords: Landlords should get new EPCs for high Cs before 2026, focus on fabric upgrades (insulation / windows). Avoid major changes eg new boilers until regulations clearer.Increasing Professionalisation: “Accidental” landlords encouraged to exit paving the way for larger or more professional investors.Opportunities Amid Challenges: Professional, forward-thinking landlords who invest in compliance and improvements may benefit from less competition.Practical Action StepsI'd Like Help With Setting My GoalsLeave a reviewJoin our WhatsApp group / access 37 Question Due Diligence Checklist / 23 Step Guide to Buying Property at AuctionInstagramExclusive Property Engine discounts (Code: EXPAT)Starter package: 30 day trialPro package 30 day trial, then 3 months 1/2 price, Ultimate package, 1/2 price 3 monthsKeywordsUK property investment, Energy Performance Certificate UK, EPC changes 2025, EPC requirements for landlords, EPC rating C UK, EPC cost for landlords, Landlord legal requirements UK, EPC upgrades UK 2028, Net zero property UK, Private rental sector regulations UK, Renters Rights Bill UK, UK landlord costs 2025, Energy efficiency grants UK, Retrofit skills shortage UK, Minimum energy efficiency standard UK, EPC assessment process, Expat landlord UK, Property market trends UK 2025, UK, Professional landlord UK tips, Green mortgages UK, Boiler Upgrade Scheme UK, Insulation grants for landlords UK, Institutional landlords UK, Accidental landlord regulations UK, UK property compliance checklist, EPC strategy for landlords, UK property future-proofing

#221Some people in UK property prefer to buy flats. Some people prefer houses.Where do your preferences lie? Is your preference the same now as a few years ago?

#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

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.
