May 12Why Buying Houses In 2026 Just Got Easier
Simon looks at the intersection of real estate intuition and modern technology, specifically focusing on Rightmove’s new Equity Tracker and various AI-driven valuation tools.
He also offers a balanced critique, acknowledging how these innovations streamline affordability assessments for homeowners while warning investors that reliance on lagging Land Registry data can lead to over-inflated property expectations in a cooling market
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Rightmove’s new Equity Tracker helps homeowners gauge their moving power by combining listing data with Land Registry records.

Investors should be wary of automated valuations because Land Registry data can be six to nine months out of date, often reflecting higher prices than the current market supports.

Successful property investing relies on building strong relationships with sellers and agents rather than relying solely on software.

Making an offer on every property viewed, even at a low price, is essential practice for discovering motivated sellers and securing the best deals.
BEST MOMENTS
"We mustn’t forget that this is a people business; whilst information and data is really useful... just take anything like this with a little bit of a pinch of salt."
"We can actually give the seller the price they want, if they give us the terms we want."
"Long gone are the days where we just go onto Zoopla or Rightmove and scroll through looking at properties... that’s not actually helping you move forward with your property investing."
"If the seller says 'yes' on your first offer, guess what? You’ve paid too much."

May 05Why Half of UK homes Need To Come Up To Standard
Simon explores the significant impact of evolving Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) regulations on property investors in England and Wales, where 55% of properties currently fall short of the C rating required by 2030.
He discusses the shift from measuring energy use to energy retention, the practical challenges of retrofitting older properties like Victorian terraces, and the potential pitfalls of installing unapproved high-efficiency appliances. Highlighting a growing trend of landlords exiting the market due to these hurdles and other legislative pressures, the episode identifies a unique opportunity for savvy investors to acquire off-market properties by connecting with local landlord networks.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
EPCs are transitioning from measuring how much energy a property uses to how effectively it retains heat, which can lower ratings for properties with poor insulation despite efficient heating systems.

Investors may fail to improve their EPC rating if they install the latest energy-efficient boilers or appliances before they are officially added to the government’s approved list, as assessors cannot grant points for unlisted items.

There is a spending cap—currently around £10,000—where landlords who cannot reach a C rating after spending this amount may be exempt, as are certain listed buildings where heritage requirements prevent necessary energy upgrades.

The complexity of these regulations, combined with the Renters’ Rights Act and rising interest rates, is prompting many landlords to sell, creating a prime opportunity to find off-market deals through HMO registers and networking.
BEST MOMENTS
"55% of properties in England and Wales are not sufficient to meet the EPC rating C standard that is required by the year 2030."
"No longer is it going to measure how much energy is used, but how good the property is at retaining energy."
"The whole EPC system is kind of broken at the moment... it takes a while for the latest, most efficient products to be actually added onto the list and approved."
"This is fueling the desire for many landlords to sell their properties, to exit the property market and do something else with their money."

April 28Everything You Need To Know About The Renter's Rights Act
Simon is here with a critical warning to UK landlords regarding the implementation of the Renters' Rights Act on May 1st, emphasising that non-compliance with new regulations—specifically the mandatory issuance of a written statement to tenants by May 31st—can result in devastating fines of up to £7,000 per tenant.
He explores the shift from assured shorthold tenancies (ASTs) to assured periodic tenancies (APTs), the abolition of Section 21 no-fault evictions, and the expansion of rent repayment orders, as well as providing strategic advice on mitigating these risks through professional letting agents and specialist rental guarantee insurance to protect against non-paying tenants and legal fees.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Landlords must issue a formal written statement to all tenants between May 1st and May 31st to avoid fines of up to £7,000 per tenant.

The Renters' Rights Act transitions all rental agreements to "assured periodic tenancies" (APTs) featuring a standard two-month rolling notice period.

Section 21 "no-fault" evictions are being abolished, making April 30th the final day landlords can legally issue such a notice.

Rent repayment orders are becoming more severe, allowing tenants to claim back up to 24 months of rent if a landlord fails to secure necessary local authority licenses.
BEST MOMENTS
"If you're a landlord and you're not up to date with the Renters' Rights Act, potentially you're putting yourself at risk to face massive fines of tens of thousands of pounds."
"You cannot just send a link to the government website; you actually need to send [the written statement] as an attachment for them and get a confirmation back from them that they received it."
"Although you should have had a license, you didn't... that tenant could go to court and get 24 months of rent."
"I am buying more properties, I’m staying in the property market... because I believe there’ll always be a demand for good quality accommodation in this country."

April 21How I'd Get Started In Property In 2026
Simon shares his four-step roadmap for starting a successful property investment journey in 2026 and reflects on his own evolution from a corporate trainee at Cadbury to a financially free investor, contrasting his early trial and error struggles with the abundance of high-quality resources available today.
He emphasises that while property is not a get-rich-quick scheme and requires significant effort, the transition from an employee mindset to an asset-owner mindset—supported by a strong community and professional mentorship—is the most effective way to replace traditional income with long-term wealth.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
With the rise of online content, it is crucial to verify the credibility of mentors by checking their length of experience and the success of their students rather than just following anyone with a YouTube channel.

Investing can be lonely; joining a local networking group like PIN provides an environment of like-minded people who offer inspiration, belief, and practical support to help you reach your goals faster.

To achieve true wealth, you must transition from an "employee" (trading time for a salary) to an "owner" of assets like property or businesses that generate income regardless of your time spent.

Time is your most precious resource; paying for professional training, coaching, or mentoring can help you avoid costly mistakes and drastically shorten your learning curve.
BEST MOMENTS
"The benefit about investing in property is although it takes time and effort, you can invest once and then you get paid forever."
"As an employee, you’re never going to become truly wealthy. Instead, you need to make the transition... from an employee to an owner."
"If you believe you can or believe you can’t, you’re absolutely right."
"At the end of the day, time is your most scarce and precious resource. You can go and earn more money, but you can’t get your time back."

April 14Is a UK Property Crash Looming in 2026?
Simon explores the current state of the UK property market, addressing concerns about a potential crash in 2026 following a recent decline in house prices.
He discusses the cyclical nature of property markets and the impact of geopolitical tensions, particularly the Iran war, on inflation and interest rates., emphasising the importance of understanding supply and demand dynamics, and noting an increase in property supply as landlords look to sell amid changing regulations
KEY TAKEAWAYS
House prices in the UK have recently shown a slight decline of 0.5% in March 2026, contrasting with a 0.3% increase in February, indicating potential downward trends in the property market.

The ongoing geopolitical tensions, particularly due to the Iran war, are contributing to economic uncertainty, leading to increased energy costs and inflation, which in turn affect interest rates set by the Bank of England.

There is currently a surplus of properties for sale, driven by homeowners and landlords looking to exit the market due to concerns over new regulations, resulting in a buyer's market where prices may continue to decline.

Despite the market's downward trend, there are significant opportunities for investors to secure properties at lower prices, especially as motivated sellers may be willing to accept offers below asking prices.
BEST MOMENTS
"The property market is like every other market. It's cyclical. Prices go up and they come down."
"This latest blip in house prices is caused to the uncertainty due to the geopolitical tension caused by the Iran war."
"If you have more demand than supply, prices go up. Simple economics."
"When the market comes down, that's the time to get the very best deals."

April 07UK Property Market Forecast
Simon provides a comprehensive look at the shifting dynamics of the UK property market amidst significant legislative changes and macroeconomic uncertainty.
He examines the surge in property listings driven by landlord anxiety over the Renters’ Rights Act, the surprising recent softening of the rental market, and the Bank of England’s decision to hold interest rates at 3.75%.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
A record number of landlords are selling their properties due to fears surrounding the new regulations in the Renters’ Rights Act.

While the rental market has recently softened due to high costs and economic uncertainty, it is expected to stabilise and rise once the new act takes effect.

The Bank of England is maintaining interest rates to combat inflation exacerbated by rising oil prices and global supply chain pressures.

Long-term property investment remains attractive because inflation erodes the real value of mortgage debt while asset values continue to climb.
BEST MOMENTS
"The Renters' Rights Act... they're absolutely panicking. I've been speaking to people saying 'Oh my god, I don't want to end up in prison, I don't want to get fined'."
"Inflation is actually good for property investors because it means the value of their asset is going up over time and the debt they borrowed to buy that asset... is actually going to be depreciating."
"The UK government and also the opposition believe we need 300,000 new homes every year; we're just not building enough of those."
"It's not a good time to sell property right now, but it's a very good time to buy, particularly right now if you can secure a massively discounted property and lock in a five-year fix."

March 31Renters’ Rights Act 2025: The Critical Checklist to Avoid 24-Month Penalties
Simon breaks down the critical government information sheet released on March 20th that must be issued to every tenant to avoid massive financial penalties.
With phase one beginning May 1st, this episode covers the mandatory transition from AST to APT contracts, the doubling of rent repayment orders to 24 months, and the exact logistical steps you must take to protect your portfolio from "no win, no fee" solicitors.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Landlords must issue a specific government information sheet to every named tenant on a contract between May 1st and May 31st to explain the transition from AST to APT contracts.

From May 1st, Rent Repayment Orders (RROs) are extending from 12 months to 24 months, meaning a failure to comply could cost you two years of rental income.

Whether delivering by hand, post, or digital PDF, landlords must secure proof of receipt (photos, postal receipts, or read receipts) to defend against potential legal claims.

The Act incentivises a shift toward highly professional land-lording, requiring rapid responses to repairs and tighter oversight of letting agents to ensure all regulations are met to the letter.
BEST MOMENTS
"If you get these requirements]wrong, there's potentially huge fines at stake."
"You are not supposed to give them a link to the government website... you need to download this, make it as a PDF, and then you need to send it to them."
"My prediction is there’s going to be a whole host of 'no fee, no win' solicitors who are looking for tenants who’ve got landlords who maybe aren't up to speed."
"It needs to be all four pages of this document. If you just give them the front sheet, that's not enough."

March 24How To Be Seen As A Property Investor
Simon shares three essential steps for property investors to raise their profile and connect with potential sellers and investors. He addresses common fears that new investors face, such as the stigma associated with property investing and concerns about sharing their ambitions.
He discusses why you should proudly announce your involvement in property on social media, attend local property investor network meetings to connect with like-minded individuals, and practice a concise elevator pitch to effectively communicate your value
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Actively share your property investment journey on social media to inform potential sellers and investors about what you do. Consistently communicate your message to attract opportunities.

Participate in property investor network meetings to connect with like-minded individuals and potential sellers. These gatherings provide valuable insights and opportunities to meet landlords looking to sell.

Prepare a concise 20-second introduction that clearly explains who you are and how you can help others in the property market. This will help you make a strong first impression at networking events.

Don’t let concerns about what others think hold you back from sharing your property investment goals. Focus on your mission to provide quality accommodation and the positive impact you can have
BEST MOMENTS
"What other people think about you is none of your business."
"You want to connect to network and get around other like-minded people who are also interested in property."
"If you want to be successful in life, you need to be known."
"Don't be the world's best kept secret. You want everyone to know what you do."

March 17How Will AI Impact You As A Property Investor?
Simon explores the rapidly evolving role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the world of property investing.
He reflects on how AI is already integrated into our daily lives through services like Netflix and Google, but emphasises its growing potential to dramatically increase productivity through tools like ChatGPT for business planning and AI-powered agents for lead generation
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Rather than fearing job loss to AI, investors should focus on learning how to use it; those who master AI tools will become more valuable and efficient than those who do not.

Tools like AI voice agents can pre-qualify leads and even negotiate significant discounts from motivated sellers by asking targeted questions, such as "What is the lowest you would take and still be happy?".

Property remains a people business where success often depends on building rapport, trust, and empathy through face-to-face interaction—nuances that AI cannot yet master.

As AI and automation threaten traditional job security, investing in property serves as a vital strategy to create alternative income streams and financial stability.
BEST MOMENTS
"You shouldn’t be worried about losing your job to AI; instead, you should be worried about losing your job to someone else who knows how to use AI."
"Once you get good at using AI, you can massively increase your output, which actually makes you a more valuable resource to the business that you work for."
"AI is changing so much and developing... but fundamentally, people always need somewhere to live."
"The true value that we bring as a property investor that AI probably will not be able to replace... is that ability to sit down with someone and really connect with them at a deep human level."

March 10What If Being A Landlord Was Illegal?
Simon explores the implications of potential political changes on the private rental sector in the UK, particularly in light of recent by-election results and the rise of the Green Party.
He discusses the Labour government's Renters' Rights Act, which aims to improve housing standards but may inadvertently drive many landlords out of the market. The episode also examines the Reform Party's proposal to abolish Section 24, a tax regulation affecting landlords, and the potential consequences of a shift towards a more corporate rental landscape
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The recent political shifts, particularly the Green Party's rise and their stance on ending private landlordism, raise questions about the future of the private rental sector in the UK.

The introduction of the Renters' Rights Act by the Labour government aims to improve housing standards but may lead to a significant number of landlords exiting the market due to perceived overreach in regulations.

The Reform Party's proposal to abolish Section 24 would allow landlords to offset mortgage interest against rental income, addressing a major concern for many landlords who have been adversely affected by current tax policies.

There is a critical need for more housing in the UK, with estimates suggesting that 300,000 new homes are required annually to meet demand, exacerbated by population growth and immigration.
BEST MOMENTS
"What if it was illegal to be a landlord? Maybe that's a bit of a strange question, but maybe not, given the political landscape."
"The Labour government have taken this way too far and have overstepped this legislation, such that now we are seeing potentially tens if not hundreds of thousands of landlords deciding to leave the private rental sector."
"It's the only business activity in the whole of the UK where you can't offset your genuine expenses against the income to reduce tax."
"If we as private landlords are not allowed to provide that accommodation, where are people going to live? What's going to happen?"
