  • Seismic Shifts in UK Property Taxes : Stamp Duty, Capital Gains, and More Dissected

    Seismic Shifts in UK Property Taxes : Stamp Duty, Capital Gains, and More Dissected
    Sep 16 2025
    https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/raf/ Your property portfolio is facing its biggest threat in a decade, and it's coming directly from the government. Today, Sean talks to Kevin McDonnell, who teaches 1000s of property professionals how to protect and grow their portfolios. He's a seasoned investor who's dissecting the government's next potential moves on property tax. Kevin and Sean break down the proposed seismic shifts in stamp duty and what they mean for you and your next purchase, the potential overhaul of capital gains tax and the rumoured new annual tax for property owners that could impact your cash flow. Stay tuned to the end as Kevin reveals the hidden opportunity and the surprising upside for savvy investors. KEY TAKEAWAYS The changes will lead to seismic changes especially if they eliminate stamp duty and introduce a National Property tax. Including the prices of cheapest properties soaring, so get in early. Be alert to opportunities created by market fear and uncertainty. When others are hesitant, there are bargains to be found. Understand all of the proposed changes : Stamp Duty, Capital Gains, National Property Tax and National Insurance for Landlords. Surround yourself with knowledgeable people and experts that can help you make informed decisions and rework your strategies. Attend educational events, such as Progressive´s free "Multiple Streams of Property Income" event to learn how to protect and grow your portfolio in a changing tax environment. Investigate the possibility of purchasing investment properties through limited companies. This could mitigate the impact of new taxes that target personally owned buy-to-lets. Consider buying before the proposed changes take effect. Focus on long-term strategies rather than short-term gains. BEST MOMENTS "It's all about having the knowledge and the people around you that will teach you how to do this stuff right." "We're running a Multiple free Streams of Property Income event soon. It's specifically around the things that are happening now … Come and learn about how to protect themselves when this stuff happens." "Get those cheap properties snapped up….Whilst this window is open, it's time to make hay."

  • The Harsh Truth About UK Rent Prices in 2025

    The Harsh Truth About UK Rent Prices in 2025
    Sep 9 2025
    https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/raf/ Right now, the UK property market is in the middle of a serious storm and whether you're a landlord or a tenant, it's about to get a whole lot worse for those who don't have the right knowledge. So make sure you stick around till the end of the episode to find out exactly how you can not only weather this storm but turn it into the opportunity of a lifetime. Sean explains how we got into such a mess, why The Renters Bill will make rents increase further, and most importantly how to turn that impending crisis into an opportunity that will benefit both you and your tenants. KEY TAKEAWAYS Despite the challenges, there are significant opportunities for savvy property investors willing to learn new strategies and navigate the changing landscape. · Government policies, e.g. Section 24 and the tenant fee ban, combined with higher overheads squeezed small landlords, forcing them to raise rents or leave the market. · The new Renter’s Rights Bill is designed to protect tenants, but it is also likely to push rents higher. Landlords will not be able to absorb all of the costs related to compliance. · Abolishing “no fault” evictions is making renting riskier for property owners, so many are leaving the market. · You can step in and buy as landlords leave the market and apply the new strategies that you learn from Progressive to create win-win deals. · Increasing the number of responsible landlords is key to balancing the market and easing rent pressures for tenants. BEST MOMENTS “Since 2010 rental prices have shot up by 90% across the country. This is totally unprecedented.” “It's a huge opportunity coming up right now. If you're not in, you can't win.” “If we can bring rent down by increasing supply, by increasing the number of landlords, then we create win-win situations for everyone.” “You can learn these strategies at Progressive property trainings. Once you know what you're doing and you know how to navigate that bill (Renter´s Rights), you can set up your properties and do win-win deals.” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Sean Fitzpatrick is a property investor, educator, and the Face of Progressive Property.

  • From Tradesperson to £Million Property Deals with Matt Hawes

    From Tradesperson to £Million Property Deals with Matt Hawes
    Sep 2 2025
    https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/raf/ From carpenter to property developer. Matt Hawes shares how he transformed his mindset and life through Progressive Property’s education and community. After years of building for others and being held back from becoming a developer by a lack of finances, Matt solved the problem. Progressive taught him creative strategies, such as vendor financing, assisted sales, and the buy-refurbish-refinance method. He reveals how these no-money-down and money recycling financing techniques—and the support of the Progressive network—helped him raise £500,000 from an investor, complete major developments, and continue to unlock new opportunities. KEY TAKEAWAYS For years, Matt worked on the tools before securing a construction project management degree and managing massive projects. Yet, he still could not make property development work for him. What he learned with Progressive and the connections he made via them is what ultimately enabled him to succeed. Matt talks about 10 of the financing and property development methods Progressive taught him. He shares which ones are currently working best for him and exactly how he uses them. Mentorship, networking, and being open to new property development strategies are key for success. All of which Matt gets with Progressive. BEST MOMENTS "I've taken a £500,000 building and made it worth the best part of a million." "Vendor finance - it's a crazy concept where the person selling your house could actually lend you some of the money to buy the house." “The finance was holding me back. After coming to Progressive and learning a bit about raising finance, I managed to raise half a million pounds on one of the first phone calls.” "I really liked it when I found Progressive, it just felt a lot more like a family. More like a cohesive network." “If you're someone who doesn't have the funds, you can come to a place like Progressive, learn how to meet and speak to investors, network with people and joint venture with them.” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Sean Fitzpatrick is a property investor, educator, and the Face of Progressive Property.
