If I was starting my property career again today, knowing what I know after 45 years in the industry, what would I do?

Would I still be successful? Where would I start? How would I find the deals and the money to fund them?

In my latest video, I explain exactly how I’d approach property if I was starting from scratch in 2026, including the strategy I’d be looking at right now.

Some good news for the Great White Horse 👏
We’ve been invited to apply for an emergency grant from Historic England to help fund vital work to the roof and windows, with a decision expected in September.
We now have planning to transform this historic 48-bedroom hotel into 21 new apartments, part of the estimated 670,000 homes that could potentially be created within listed buildings across the UK.
Here’s a quick look inside, including my favourite room…

Property development is a team sport.

You can find the deal, raise the finance and have the vision, but ultimately, the success of a development can come down to the people you surround yourself with.

In this week’s episode of Clapson & Howard Property Unfiltered, Ritchie Clapson and I discuss who you actually need on your development team, including architects, project managers, quantity surveyors, contractors and planning consultants.

We also get into some of the mistakes we see developers make:
-Trying to project manage a development themselves when they don’t have the experience.
-Choosing the wrong contractor.
-Handing too much control to a contractor through design and build.
-And, of course, using the right contractors, without paying too much, or even more dangerous, not enough.

My view after 45 years in property is simple: surround yourself with people you can believe in and trust.

But remember, you’re still the captain of the ship.

Meet Dandelion 🐴
She’s a dressage horse, and you wouldn’t get on her without knowing how to ride and understanding the movements.

Property development is no different.

Before you start investing hundreds of thousands of pounds, you need to know what you’re doing, understand the risks and have the knowledge to make the right decisions.

That’s exactly what I’ll be teaching at my Two-Day Property Masterclass on 21st & 22nd September.

45 years of property experience, condensed into two days, with no upsell.

Dandelion knows what she’s doing… do you? 👀

100 days into the Renters’ Rights Act, is it already having the opposite effect to what the Government intended?

Landlords are selling, rents are rising, and there are still big questions over how the new system will work in practice.

I take a look at the early signs and what they could mean for landlords and tenants in my latest video.

There are some things you can learn at Cambridge. There are others you can only learn through experience.

I’ve spent 45 years in the property industry and bought and sold more than 4,500 properties.

On 21st & 22nd September, I’ll be sharing the lessons that experience has taught me at my Two-Day Comprehensive Property Masterclass.

We’ll cover buying, selling and developing property across both the residential and commercial sectors, including the strategies I use myself and, importantly, the mistakes and pitfalls to avoid.

This isn’t theory. It’s practical property knowledge built over four and a half decades of doing deals.

Getting funding for a property development is one thing. Making sure it stays in place is another.

The latest episode of Clapson & Howard Property Unfiltered Ritchie Clapson

This week, we’re talking about one of the most important parts of any property development, finance.

We discuss bridging and development finance, choosing the right lender, planning your exit before you borrow, and what happens when a project inevitably takes longer than expected.

One of the biggest mistakes developers can make is simply chasing the cheapest rate. The terms, the lender and what happens if you go beyond the agreed timeframe can be far more important.

There’s plenty of money out there looking for good property deals. The challenge is structuring your finance correctly and making sure it supports the development from start to finish.

If you’re looking to fund your first development or already have projects underway, this episode is well worth a watch.
