——————————————————————

In the episode of This Property Life, Nick Claydon sits down with the co-host Sarah Blaney to dig into one of the most overlooked yet powerful tools in property investing: your gut feeling. From personal stories of financial loss to red-flag characters and dodgy deals, they explore why your subconscious is often smarter than your logic when making crucial decisions.


Key Learnings
  • Red flags often come disguised as flattery, urgency, or too-good-to-be-true deals.
  • Losses aren’t just financial; they often cost mental space, time, and emotional bandwidth.
  • Having a strong community helps you solve problems faster and stay grounded.
  • It's okay to make mistakes, just don’t make the same one twice.
