Morning all. Sad times…

I’ve still got one more property to sell, and right now there are no new projects in the pipeline.

It’s not because I don’t want one. It’s because very few deals actually stack up. And anyone who knows me knows I’m not greedy. If the numbers work, I’ll buy it.

Remember the days when service connections were relatively cheap? You would not believe the quote I’ve just received to move an Openreach green box. Costs like that are making development sites harder and harder to make viable.

Materials are up.
Labour is up.
Finance costs are up.
Utility and service connection costs are through the roof.

Yet sellers still expect yesterday’s prices.

The good news? We’re still actively looking.

So if you have:
🏗️ A development site
🏡 A property needing renovation
📐 Land with potential
🏢 Commercial-to-residential opportunities

Give me a call.

I’m available 24/7 and always happy to look at a deal.

🎤 Wanted: The Ugly Duckling of the Property World

Roses are red,
That house looks a state,
Damp walls, old windows,
But the plot? It’s great 🏚️✨

Planning approved?
Even better you say!
Pack up that permission notice
And send it my way 📬

Overgrown garden,
Neighbours complained twice,
Estate agent gave up?
I’ll still give it a price 😄

Here’s what I’m after 👇
🏚️ Run down houses — the worse the better
📋 Sites with planning permission (residential)
📍 UK based, ready to move

Funded. Decisive. Straight talking.
No deal too awkward. No plot too forgotten.

📩 DM me or tag an agent who needs to hear this!

Green Road – The Real Numbers

This project started in April 2024.

The site:
• 4 x 2-bedroom houses
• 1 office building
• Site cost: £500,000

The 4 houses were built first, but the office needed planning permission to change from Class E office use to C3 residential.

Application submitted: February 2025
Granted: January 2026

That’s 11 months of waiting, holding costs, and uncertainty.

Sales so far:

1st house sold: £325,000
Other 3 houses sold: £310,000–£320,000 each
5th house: Still to finish, aiming for July 2026

Rough numbers:

Land cost: £500,000
Build cost to date: £834,000
Total sale price: £1,522,860
Profit: £188,860
ROI: 14%

Is that the return I wanted?

No.

The project still isn’t fully finished, and the profit is split between several partners.

So no Lamborghini from this one. Maybe just new tyres for the truck.

But overall, I’m happy.

We have 4 happy new homeowners, a strong build, and we didn’t lose money.

The office conversion made a huge difference. Without it, this project would have been very tight. It added roughly £100,000 uplift.

This is the reality of property development.

Costs go up.
Sales take longer.
Planning takes forever.
Building regulations get more expensive.
Margins get squeezed.

But you keep pushing.

Now we finish the final house and look for the next project.

If you have land, a tired property, a commercial building, or a site with potential, get in touch.

Is the market broken? 🤔

There’s a house I’m looking at right now. Asking price: £249,000.

For me to make it work — it needs to be at £160,000.

That’s a massive drop. But here’s the reality…
Whether I buy it or another developer does, the renovation is still £100,000+. The numbers don’t change just because the asking price does.
Oh — and it’s got spray foam insulation. So it’s cash buyers only. That cuts out 90% of the market straight away.

Here’s what I think is actually happening 👇
Agents are overvaluing to win instructions. They’re pitching numbers sellers want to hear — without factoring in what it actually costs to bring these properties back to life.

The result? Overpriced stock sitting on the market. Sellers wondering why there are no offers. And developers walking away.

It’s only worth what it’s worth. To me.

My bet? This one will still be available in a few months. And when it is — I’ll still be at £160k.
Has anyone else noticed agents consistently overvaluing in your area? 👇
