- 7 Assets HMRC Won’t Tax
➡️ Join Samuel Leeds' FREE Online Property Training: https://www.samuelleeds.com/ftpod
Most people think that when an asset goes up in value and you make a profit, HMRC will always want a cut. But that isn’t necessarily true.
In this video, I reveal 7 assets that can benefit from major UK tax advantages, including assets that may be exempt from Capital Gains Tax altogether.
From watches and legal tender gold coins to cars, your main residence, commercial property held within a SSAS pension and one of my favourite property investment strategies – refinancing rather than selling – I break down how wealthy people legally structure their assets to make, keep and grow more of their money.
I’ll also explain why simply buying an asset isn’t enough. The way you own it, use it and eventually dispose of it can completely change the tax treatment.
Most importantly, these aren’t illegal tax loopholes. They’re legitimate strategies based on UK tax rules. However, everybody's circumstances are different, so always seek professional tax advice before making investment or tax decisions.

9 min - The UK Gov Will Now Pay For Your First Home... What's The Catch?
➡️ Join Samuel Leeds' FREE Online Property Training: https://www.samuelleeds.com/ftpod
A new scheme promises to help first-time buyers get onto the property ladder with just a 2.5% deposit. Sounds incredible, right? But what’s the catch?
In this video, we break down the new 2.5% deposit scheme and what it means for your finances. Branded the new "Your First Home Scheme" – this is essentially a rebranded version of the "Help To Buy Scheme" also known as the "Help To Sell Scheme".
We'll be breaking down:
- Who qualifies for the new 2.5% deposit scheme
- What type of houses will be available
- The potential problems investing through this scheme could cause
- Alternative methods to get into UK property this year
At the end of the episode, I explain the property investment approach I personally prefer – buying second-hand properties below market value, adding value through refurbishment, refinancing and renting them out to generate cash flow.

19 min - Red Flags HMRC is Looking For in 2026 (New AI Audit System)
➡️ Join Samuel Leeds' FREE Online Property Training: https://www.samuelleeds.com/ftpod
HMRC is watching businesses and investors more closely than ever – and there are certain red flags that could put you under unwanted scrutiny.
In this episode, I break down five common mistakes that entrepreneurs, property investors and business owners make when it comes to tax, expenses, VAT and accounting. I also explain why your lifestyle, social media activity and spending patterns can potentially raise questions if they don’t appear to match the income you’re declaring.
I’ve paid millions of pounds in tax and work with a team of accountants, but I’m not an accountant and this is not tax advice. I’m sharing what I’ve learned through building businesses, investing in property and working alongside thousands of property investors.
From understanding legitimate business expenses to preparing for VAT registration and choosing the right accountant, these are the basics every entrepreneur and property investor should understand.

23 min - HMO Mistakes Nobody Tells You About
➡️ Join Samuel Leeds' FREE Online Property Training: https://www.samuelleeds.com/ftpod
Property investing rarely goes perfectly to plan – and Winston’s journey is a perfect example of why the problems you encounter can sometimes become your biggest lessons.
In this video, Winston takes us inside his semi-detached property in Bexhill-on-Sea, which he is converting into a four-bedroom HMO. From negotiating the purchase price down from £250,000 to £182,500 to dealing with planning problems, builders, neighbours, bridging finance and rising refurbishment costs, almost everything that could go wrong did.
But rather than walking away, Winston found solutions, worked with mentors and continued pushing the project forwards.
We also visit Winston’s serviced accommodation property in West Hampstead, London – a three-bedroom apartment operated using a rent-to-rent model. He explains how the property works, the nightly rates he achieves, occupancy levels, monthly profit and the lessons he has learnt from running short-term accommodation.

15 min - The Downsizing Trap Nobody Warns You About
➡️ Join Samuel Leeds' FREE Online Property Training: https://www.samuelleeds.com/ftpod
Downsizing your home sounds like the obvious move when the kids have left and you no longer need all that space. But in the UK, downsizing can come with costs that many homeowners simply don’t expect.
In this episode, I break down what I call the downsizing trap – why moving from a larger property into a smaller home might not leave you with as much money as you think, and how stamp duty can make the numbers far less attractive.
I’ll also share several alternatives to simply selling up and downsizing. From refinancing your existing home and turning it into a rental property, to corporate lets, serviced accommodation and renting out spare rooms, there may be ways to make your existing property work harder for you while creating additional cash flow.
Whether you’re approaching retirement, sitting on substantial equity in your home, considering downsizing, or simply looking for smarter ways to use property to build wealth, this video will give you plenty to think about.
I also explain how I’ve approached property investment myself and some of the strategies I’ve seen homeowners and property investors use to generate income from property without immediately selling their biggest asset.

13 min - Never Buy a Home with These 10 Features (If You Ever Want To Sell It!)
➡️ Join Samuel Leeds' FREE Online Property Training: https://www.samuelleeds.com/ftpod
I’ve invested tens of millions into property across the UK and around the world, and I’ve learned that certain features can instantly put buyers off.
In this episode, I reveal 10 things you should be extremely careful of when buying a house, from steep driveways and unconventional layouts to dodgy areas, electricity pylons, private roads and developers with terrible reputations.
These features do not always make a property a bad investment, but they can dramatically reduce your potential buyer pool and make the property much harder to sell.
Remember, almost every property will sell at the right price. The real question is whether you want to own something that eliminates half your potential buyers before they have even walked through the door.

14 min - Why Owning 4 Properties Pays for Their Entire Lifestyle
➡️ Join Samuel Leeds' FREE Online Property Training: https://www.samuelleeds.com/ftpod
How do you go from starting out in property to owning multiple investments, running a construction business and building a lifestyle where your property income helps pay the bills?
In this video, Maria Di Fonzo and Charles Hankin take us behind the scenes of their property journey – showing us the projects, investments and businesses that have transformed their lives.
They now own four properties, with three completed in the last year alone, but the journey has involved far more than simply buying houses. From refurbishments and serviced accommodation to mixed-use commercial property, flips and construction projects, they have built several income streams around property.
One of their biggest achievements was transforming Maria’s mum’s building. They invested around £100,000 into the project, created approximately £250,000 in profit and generated significant ongoing annual income – allowing her mum to retire.
We also tour their own home, a mixed-use commercial and serviced accommodation investment, a major property flip and a client bungalow development.
Along the way, Maria and Charles reveal the real numbers behind the deals, the renovation problems they encountered and why combining property investment with their construction business has helped them build their portfolio faster.

8 min - Once You Get Money… Never Tell Anyone These Things
➡️ Join Samuel Leeds' FREE Online Property Training: https://www.samuelleeds.com/ftpod
Getting rich is one thing. Staying rich is a completely different skill.
In this episode, I break down the psychology of people who act broke even when they’re wealthy – and why some of the richest people deliberately avoid looking rich.
I share the seven things I believe you should never do when you start making serious money, from bragging about your success and quitting your job too early to wasting capital on expensive cars, lending money to friends and family, and thinking you’ve finally “made it”.
I also explain why I would rather put £100,000 into an income-producing property than leave it sitting in the bank, why passive income should fund your lifestyle, and why the assets you own should ideally be putting money into your pocket.
Property investing isn’t just about making money. It’s about learning how to protect your wealth, reinvest your profits and build long-term financial freedom.
