I've spent 23 years in UK property. I built and exited the country's biggest property sourcing network. I co-founded a peer-to-peer lending platform that funded over £85 million worth of property deals. I've made every mistake worth making and a few that probably weren't.
And in all that time, the one thing that's hasn't changed is the gap between what newbies think property is going to be like and what it's actually like.
This blog exists to close that gap. No fluff, no hype, no upsells dressed up as advice.
What you're going to read here
Property Unfiltered is the writing version of what I tell mentees on calls. Real strategies. Real numbers. Real deals that worked, and a few that didn't. Topics I'll be covering:
- BTL, BRR, HMO and serviced accommodation, with actual deal breakdowns
- Sourcing, packaging and joint ventures done compliantly
- Raising finance without lying to investors or yourself
- How to spot bad property training before it costs you £15,000+
- The UK market, region by region, with the bits the YouTubers won't tell you
Why I'm doing this for free
Two reasons. First, because most property education in the UK is overpriced, oversold and underdelivered. The big training companies charge £15,000 to £40,000 for content you could pull off YouTube in a weekend.
Second, because every person who gets into property the right way is one less person who gets fleeced. I've seen too many people remortgage their home, pay £30k to a guru, and end up with nothing but a binder of templates and a WhatsApp group that's gone quiet.

I'm not a YouTube guru. I'm not selling a £25k programme. I run a paid mentorship at £999 (a fraction of what the big training companies charge) and a free Skool community that anyone can join. That's it. Everything else here is free.
So welcome. Pull up a chair. Let's talk about property properly.
