Hi all, I’m Eamonn and alongside my wife Kegan we are 🍐The Property Pair 🍐 (check us out on instagram). We started educating ourselves during Covid’s alongside our full time jobs and 2 years later I went full time in to property and Kegan came on board full time at the beginning of this year. We have a mix of BTLs, social housing HMOs, Air bnbs and a couple of flips thrown in. We have had most success with DTV so if anyone has any questions we are always happy to help. 🤝 We have also built our portfolio with a mix of angel investors and bridging finance but can always use any advice on raising finance as this is an ongoing challenge. p.s 6 years on and still skint! Anyone lend us a fiver 🤣

A seller we have bought from previously has come back to us with a flat in Wakey he currently leases to a provider who has given him notice. We saw it 2 years ago and there are 55 years left on the lease. He wants us to confirm by Monday if we want it so he can go back to the provider and confirm the termination. He has also told us the valuation he has been given by a “we buy any house” company which makes us think there is wiggle room. Before we make an offer our ideal plan is to see the flat when we get back from holiday and find out the cost to extend the lease as going in blind would be a huge no…and the lease extension would impact the back end remortgage. We’ve always stayed away from flats and ideally would rather own the freehold but we feel there could be an opportunity here. Is there anything else we should be looking out for when buying leasehold? Cheers

Sunday reminder don’t get so caught up chasing the next thing that you forget why you started in the first place. Whether it’s a job, your own business or something you’re building on the side the goal is to create more time and more freedom for the people who matter most. Keep putting the work in but make sure you enjoy the journey as well 👊🏼 Hope everyone’s having a good Sunday.

We’re nearly at the back end of another week already. Don’t let it be one where you’ve been busy but haven’t actually moved anything forward. What’s one thing you’re getting done before Friday that takes you closer to your goals?

Honest question to start the week What did you do last week that actually moved you closer to your first (or next) property? If the answer’s “not much” you’re not on your own but here’s the thing I keep coming back to if you want change something has to change. So let’s make this week different. Pick one and stick it in the comments 👇 1. Ring a broker 2. Book a viewing 3. Run the numbers on a deal you’ve been sat on 4. Something else (tell us what) Just put the number if you want, but I’d rather hear what you’re actually doing.
