In this week's episode of The Property Rebel: Arsh Ellahi shares one of the most chaotic weeks he’s faced in over 25 years of property investing. What started as a routine inspection spiraled into panic, with a housing officer declaring his building unsafe, scaring tenants into leaving, and even disconnecting a fully functional hot water tank.

From emergency notices being slapped on doors, to tenants left in fear of an “exploding” water tank, Arsh takes us inside the stress, the madness, and the lessons learned when bureaucracy goes rogue. But instead of backing down, he reveals how he stayed calm, fought back, and turned one of the toughest weeks into a reminder that resilience and perspective are key in property.

If you’ve ever wondered what it really looks like behind the scenes of being a property investor, the good, the bad, and the downright unbelievable, this episode will give you a raw and honest glimpse.

In this week's episode of The Property Rebel, Arsh Ellahi takes us back to one of the toughest days of his life — failing his GCSEs at 16 — and shares how that moment of “failure” became the foundation for resilience, grit, and ultimately, success.

From the crushing disappointment of opening that envelope, to rebuilding confidence through the right support and discovering his natural strengths, Arsh reveals why academic setbacks don’t define your future. Instead, it’s about finding your path, backing yourself, and refusing to let the system or others place limits on your potential.

If you've ever felt like you don't fit the mould, or if you're a parent worried about your child's academic results, this episode will shift your perspective entirely. Arsh proves that there's more than one path to success - you just need to find yours.

Because sometimes, the biggest failures build the strongest foundations.

Are you stuck in the start-stop cycle? Jumping from HMOs to buy-to-lets, then lease options, without gaining real traction?

In this week's episode of The Property Rebel, Arsh Ellahi breaks down the biggest mistake property investors make: treating property like a 100-meter sprint instead of a marathon. After 25 years in the game, he shares why choosing the RIGHT strategy—one that aligns with your personality and values—is the key to long-term success.

Whether you're a natural deal-maker who thrives on negotiation, someone who excels at tenant management, or brilliant with the finance side, there's a property strategy that fits YOU. The secret isn't chasing quick wins or the latest shiny object—it's understanding your strengths and playing to them consistently, month after month.

Stop chasing every new trend and start building wealth the right way. Your future property portfolio depends on it.

Remember: Property is a marathon, not a sprint—so pace yourself for the long game!

Ever had a council demand you replace 10 perfectly functional hand basins because they're 40mm too small? That's exactly what happened to Arsh Ellahi with Manchester City Council - and it's sparked a heated debate about HMO regulations gone mad.

In this no-holds-barred episode of The Property Rebel, Arsh breaks down the absurdity of spending £1,500 to replace working basins that are just 4cm smaller than regulations require. Is this really about tenant welfare, or bureaucratic box-ticking at its finest?

With local authorities cracking down harder on private landlords over the past 18 months, this story highlights a growing frustration many property investors are facing. When does compliance cross the line into complete madness?

• The reality of dealing with increasingly strict HMO regulations
• Why "following the rules" isn't always logical or cost-effective
• The impact of regulatory creep on property investment • Should common sense trump bureaucracy?

Whether you're a seasoned HMO investor or just getting started, this episode will have you questioning where we draw the line between reasonable regulations and regulatory overreach.

What's your take? Are councils being unreasonably pedantic, or is this just the cost of doing business in 2024?

Arsh just received a demand from Manchester City Council to replace 10 perfectly working hand basins - not because they're broken, but because they're 40mm too small according to local HMO regulations.

The kicker? This "upgrade" will actually make the compact en-suites less functional while costing serious money. It's got him questioning whether local authorities are focusing on the right priorities for tenant welfare.

Listen to find out why this regulatory battle has Arsh considering delicensing his entire portfolio.
