Is buy-to-let truly dead? In this week’s episode, Sarah welcomes seasoned investor Tom Dylan, director of Great Northern Property Company, to unpack the truth behind the current property headlines. With over a decade of experience and a portfolio in Greater Manchester, Tom offers a practical yet optimistic take on where the market’s really heading and why he's not giving up on buy-to-lets anytime soon.

Key Learnings

• Buy-to-let isn’t dead, but you’ve got to be more strategic and creative to make it work.
• Successful deals often come from networking and sourcing off-market opportunities.
• Converting commercial spaces or multi-unit blocks can offer stronger returns.
• Time delays, paperwork, and survey costs are critical to factor into your development plans.
• Property is still a people business, negotiation and relationships can unlock the best deals.
