This channel is here to help educate and inform UK landlords and those looking to get into the game.Most people think property investing is simple, buy a house, collect the rent and pay the tax. But experienced investors know that how you structure a deal can be just as important as the deal itself.There are completely legal strategies that can help you reduce your tax bill, protect your assets and keep more of the money your properties generate.In this video, I break down five property strategies I’ve personally used, seen and taught, including buying through limited companies, acquiring shares in property companies, investing in commercial property, delayed completions, capital allowances and refinancing.These strategies can potentially save investors thousands, but they need to be structured correctly.This is not financial or tax advice. Always speak to an independent tax adviser or accountant who understands your individual circumstances before making any investment decision.🔑 KEY TOPICS COVERED:→ Why Limited Companies Can Be Powerful For Property Investors→ Using Mortgage Interest And Business Expenses Tax Efficiently→ Buying The Company Instead Of The Property→ How Property Investors Can Reduce Stamp Duty Costs→ Finding Property Companies Through Companies House→ Why Commercial Property Can Be More Tax Efficient→ Capital Allowances Explained Simply→ The Difference Between Tenants And Guests→ How Mixed-Use Property Can Affect Stamp Duty→ Delayed Completion And Lease Option Strategies→ My Willingham House Hotel Deal→ Structuring Property Refurbishments Tax Efficiently→ Unrealised Gains And Refinancing→ The Buy, Borrow, Die Strategy→ How To Get Started In Property The Right WayJoin My Free Online Property Training Here: https://samuelleeds.com/rlfreetrainingFOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA:https://www.instagram.com/russellleeds/https://www.instagram.com/anna.n.leeds/ | |||

| STOP Saving to Buy a House! (BIGGEST Financial Mistake) | 04 mars 2026 | 00:23:57 | |
FREE Training & More : https://linktr.ee/russellleeds If you're saving up to buy a house to live in, stop! It could be the "biggest financial mistake" you ever make. This week on The Property Investors Podcast, Russell and Anna debate the financial logic of buying your own home versus renting where you live and using your capital to build an investment portfolio. Russell argues that buying a house to live in is an emotional decision, not an investment, and that combining the two is a major red flag. The only way to approach property is by looking at the formulas and making decisions based on your Return on Investment (ROI). We look at how to calculate ROI and why capital appreciation should only be considered a bonus.

| The UK Housing Crisis: Developers REVEAL Why They Can't Afford to Build! (It's NOT What You Think) How Much Does It Cost To Build a House In The UK? | 11 févr. 2026 | 00:32:51 | |
FREE Training & More : https://linktr.ee/russellleedsIn this episode of The Property Investors Podcast, the speakers, Russell and Anna, discuss the UK's housing crisis, focusing on the difficulty and high cost of development. They share personal experiences with planning permission issues and suggest solutions for both small-time developers and the government.Key Topics and Timestamps:Introduction to the UK Housing Crisis: The speakers note that developers are unable to afford to build in many UK cities, contributing to the housing crisis. The goal was to build 300,000 houses, but only 200,000 were built, leaving a shortage of 100,000 houses per year.Planning Permission Problems: The speakers discuss how hard it is to get planning permission on land, noting that they have owned land for years and are still waiting. They provide an example of a rejected planning application in Leeds, even after a previous application for more apartments on the same site had been approved. They believe the problem is that the government and councils are "not on the same page," with local councils often resisting new housing.Delays in Planning: The speaker gives an example of a Grade II listed building where coordinating a meeting between the developer, English Heritage, and the council took six months, only for English Heritage to cancel and reschedule for another six months, resulting in a year's delay just for a meeting.Cost to Build vs. House Prices: Since 2020, building costs (materials) have increased by 40%. Meanwhile, house prices have mostly stagnated or slightly dipped, leading to a "silent crash".Financial Feasibility in Areas like Liverpool: The average cost to build a house is about £2,500 per square meter, meaning a 100-square-meter house costs £250,000 to build. The issue is that in places like Liverpool, a 100-square-meter house would not sell for £250,000, and building costs do not differ significantly enough between the North and South to compensate for the difference in house values.Hidden Costs and Risks: Development costs also include buying land (which may be worthless even with planning permission in some areas) and planning permission fees.11Shortage of Builders: The speakers note a shortage of builders, with some booked up for two years. Labor costs have also increased by 25% to 30%.Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL): The CIL is another tax on development, costing up to £100 per square meter in some areas.Solution for Small Developers: Buy, Refurbish, Finance (BRF): The speakers advise small-time developers to use the Buy, Refurbish, Finance strategy instead of new development. For example, in Liverpool, buying a rundown house for £100,000 and spending £50,000 on renovation results in a property worth £200,000 and a £50,000 profit, whereas building a new house would cost £250,000 (plus fees) and be worth only £200,000.Government Solutions: Planning Reform: The speakers propose reforming planning by taking it off the councils, making it faster and cheaper, and using AI to help identify buildable areas and give instant decisions.Government Solutions: Financial Incentives: The speakers propose removing CIL and other taxes in areas where development is not financially viable, like Liverpool or Wolverhampton. They also suggest government grants to top up development projects so that a standard profit (e.g., 20% net profit on the end value) can be achieved. They argue that a better planning system and government grants would solve the housing crisis overnightFOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA:https://www.instagram.com/russellleeds/https://www.instagram.com/anna.n.leeds/ | |||
