Jamie Barnsley has been involved in property for nearly 20 years.

After graduating with a degree in building surveying and a masters in construction project management, Jamie Barnsley moved to Glasgow from his native Newcastle, where he met his wife.

After ten years in Scotland, and with a young family in tow, the pair moved initially to Abu Dhabi for a couple of years before making the short switch to Dubai in 2011. 

In that time, they’ve invested in Scotland, London, the North East, the North West and Sri Lanka.

But it’s been far from plain sailing.

Their success has come despite massive challenges such as the Global Financial Crisis and losing £50,000 in an off-plan new build nightmare.

Listen now for the full story.

We discuss:

  • Jamie’s Costly Off-Plan Property Mistake
  • Impact on Confidence & Recovery
  • Taking High-Stakes Risks in Sri Lanka
  • Property Portfolio Diversification
  • Lessons in Resilience
  • Leveraging Local Expertise
  • Buy-to-Let and Holiday Lets Strategy
  • Remote Property Management Techniques
  • Jamie's two-year family sabbatical traversing the Americas
  • Advice for Expat Property Investors
