In this week’s episode of The Property Rebel: Arsh Ellahi shares a no-nonsense rant about why you should never take property advice from “Dave down the pub” or “Karen on Facebook.” He exposes how one investor nearly lost £250,000 by trusting hearsay about converting a single-let into an 8-bed HMO in Wolverhampton—without understanding licensing, planning permission, or Article 4 restrictions.

Arsh breaks down the realities of HMO conversions, from room sizes to fire safety to council regulations, and explains why due diligence will save you thousands. If you’ve ever been tempted to take shortcuts or follow gossip in property investing, this episode is a wake-up call to stick with facts, not Facebook myths.

In this week’s episode of The Property Rebel: Arsh Ellahi unpacks a true property horror story—when an eager investor bought a block of flats at auction without viewing it, reading the legal pack properly, or checking the tenants. What seemed like a £205,000 bargain promising £33,000 annual income quickly spiraled into a nightmare of hidden arrears, impossible contract terms, and the risk of losing £20,000 in deposit money.

Arsh walks us through the red flags, the tricks shady sellers use, and the tough decision investors face when trapped in a deal gone wrong. More importantly, he shares the key lessons: never buy blind, always review the legal pack, and do your due diligence before bidding. If you’ve ever considered buying at auction, this episode is a must-listen to avoid falling into the same costly traps.

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?
