In this episode, Saam Lowni sat down with former professional footballer Christian Ribeiro.

After retiring from football at just 27 due to an injury, Christian turned his focus to property investing. What began as a small portfolio built during his playing career eventually evolved into a multi million pound property business, working with athletes and investors to build long term wealth through real estate.

In this conversation, Christian shares the realities of transitioning careers, how property helped create financial stability after sport, and why the modern property market requires a much more professional approach than it did a decade ago.

Christian is the founder of Performance Property Group with more than £30 million worth of property deals and manages a growing portfolio across the UK.

If you’re a property investor, developer, or landlord navigating today’s market, this episode offers practical insights from someone who has experienced both the highs and the difficult lessons of building a property business.
