The Refurbishment Mastery Podcast

It was 40 years ago, in September 1985, that I first started my career in the construction industry as a Contractor's Quantity Surveyor. To mark this anniversary, I have put together 40 tips that I've learned over those years and present them here with some background stories and case studies.

In the final part of this series, I bring the story right up to date with tips based on my more recent experiences within construction. It will make more sense if you have listened to the previous 3 episodes as everything runs chronologically.

This episode picks up at the point where I have left employment and set up my own construction business. It will make more sense if you listen to episodes 56 and 57 before this one.

How do you buy unmortgageable properties, fund the refurb, and still recycle most of your cash at refinance? According to property finance expert Kevin Wright, it all comes down to understanding — and embracing — bridging finance.

In this episode, I sit down with Kevin to explore how creative finance strategies can accelerate your Buy, Refurbish, Refinance (BRR) journey. Drawing on over 20 years of experience, Kevin shares why bridging shouldn't be feared, how to protect your margins, and what today's market really means for investors looking to scale.

You'll learn: ✔️ Why targeting problem properties often creates the best BRR opportunities ✔️ How market value bridging can dramatically reduce your upfront deposit ✔️ The right way to price bridging costs into your deal ✔️ Why profit margins are non-negotiable for sustainable investing ✔️ How to present your refurbished property to valuers at refinance ✔️ The role of networking and community in finding better deals

Whether you're just starting in BRR or looking to scale with more confidence, Kevin's insights will help you approach property finance in a smarter, more creative way.

This episode follows on from number 33 - How to find a good builder. It doesn't matter how good the builders you find are if you don't come across as a credible client.

Believe me, the best builders won't want to work with you if they don't believe you are credible, and the likely outcome will be that you end up working with the kind of builder that you don't want to be working with.

In this episode I'll share some tips to help you come across with more credibility as well as some examples of where I see property investors getting it wrong.

Listen now to position yourself in the elite.

I recently received an email from a property investor who needed some urgent help. On reviewing their situation further, they unfortunately had to make a decision that will cost them about £5000 in fees and costs.

All because they didn't follow what I cover in this 20 minute episode!

In this episode, I share more of the experts that you will need to work with on your project.

I meet so many property investors who don't realise the help that is available to them, and, as a result, are finding the management of their projects difficult. Ultimately if you don't delegate then you won't have the success you deserve,

This episode is a follow up to episode 047, so if you haven't listened to that one yet, then it would be worth going back to at some point.

Every week, members of my community have the opportunity to ask me questions during a live coaching call and in this podcast, I go through some of those questions. Topics include:

✅ Working with new products

✅ Upgrading a 1930s roof

✅ Schedules of works for small projects

✅ Contracts for small projects

Real questions from real property investors who are refurbishing property right now. Of course, as members of my community, they had the answer within a few days of needing it. I've shared them on this podcast to help everyone else who might have similar questions.
