How to recognize, enhance, and then extract the values from UK property? 

That’s the question we’d all like an answer to, right?

This episode will give you some ideas.

Patricia Ogunfeibo is is a solicitor turned full time property professional professional.

Patricia is the host of the podcast Maximising Property Values 

And the author of 'Be Prepared: Renters' Rights & Residential Landlords in UK'

During the episode, we discuss Patricia's purchase of a two-bedroom London flat.

How she is enhancing the value by adding en suites and unique features, before refinancing to extract all her funds.

And how her ultimate aim is to acquire the upstairs flat and freehold.

We discuss:

1. Creative Strategies: buying, enhancing, and either renting or selling,  leveraging creativity. 
2. Case Study – Lewisham Flat: A real-life example of purchasing and improving a 2 bed flat, including upgrading both bedrooms to en suites and creating a standalone cloakroom to make the property stand out.
3. Maximising Rental Potential: Tailoring property features (e.g., en suites, extra toilet) to appeal to specific renters, resulting in above-average monthly rents.
4. Unlocking Further Value: Plans to buy the flat above and the building’s freehold, aiming to develop the garden plot—potentially securing planning permission to sell to a developer.
5. Managing Risks & Returns: Extracting all the invested money from a property while keeping it to rent.
6. Challenges in Valuations
7. Evolving Strategies: The need for a mindset shift given today’s market dynamics
