Our original strategy was clear.
Flips would generate cashflow.
Cashflow would replace income.
Momentum would build from there.
But property rarely moves in straight lines.
With our first flip still stuck in conveyancing, there’s currently no income coming in. And when you’ve gone all-in on building a property business with no safety net, that matters.
This week on Next Deal, we hit that reality check — and made adjustments in real time.
Our model was structured around:
But when conveyancing stalls, everything downstream stalls too:
That exposed a weakness:
Relying solely on flips for early-stage income creates timing risk.
So we adapted.
Instead of waiting for completion, we’re now:
If you’re sourcing property deals in the UK consistently, you don’t have to buy everything yourself.
Strong deals have value.
Packaging and assigning deals creates:
This doesn’t replace our long-term strategy.
It strengthens it.
Despite the delays, activity continues.
This week:
Offers were submitted on 2 properties.
And we’re currently running the numbers on the commercial opportunity to see whether it stacks up under our criteria.
Momentum isn’t optional.
It’s deliberate.
When building a property business, especially full-time, liquidity matters.
Selling on sourced deals allows us to:
It also allows us to stay active while larger projects are tied up.
This is not “plan B.”
It’s business optimisation.
To keep buying and scaling, capital matters.
We’re now actively:
Why?
Because consistent deal flow without scalable capital creates friction.
The goal is to:
Partnership accelerates that.
The commercial property in Morecambe adds another dimension.
Commercial deals require:
We never rush commercial.
The numbers either justify the risk — or they don’t.
And if they don’t stack, we walk.
This episode goes back into the core of what building a property business actually looks like:
It’s not glamorous.
It’s operational.
And when you’ve removed your safety net, you learn quickly that speed and flexibility are survival tools.
When you’re part-time, delays are frustrating.
When you’re full-time, delays are financial.
That’s why:
Resilience isn’t motivational.
It’s structural.
If you’re interested in joint ventures or investing in UK property, here’s what matters:
This week wasn’t about a big win.
It was about business maturity.
Adapting before problems compound.
That’s how property businesses survive long term.
You can’t control conveyancing speed.
You can control:
Flips will still be part of the strategy.
BRR will build the portfolio.
But deal sourcing and partnerships add a third engine.
And that makes the business stronger.
If you’re interested in:
You’re in the right place.
This isn’t a highlight reel.
It’s the engine room.
And we’ll see you in the next deal.
