The Renters’ Reform Bill has been on the agenda for UK Government since it was first proposed in 2019, but with Labour’s win in the 2024 general election, it looks as though it will be reprioritised by Keir Starmer’s party under a new name – the Renters’ Rights Bill.  And with the bill being brought forward by a left leaning party, it’s no surprise that the focus will be on providing more security and protection for tenants while ensuring landlords know their responsibilities. In this post, we’ll explore the key elements of the Renters’ Reform Bill and what it means for property investors ..read more

A couple of weeks ago, we hosted a masterclass on supported living. I’ll be honest—I’m far from an expert in supported living, with my knowledge mostly coming from quick Google searches. That’s why I invited a good friend and an expert in the field, Chris Bermit, to lead the content for that day. While I took on the role of host, the real insights came from Chris, especially when he introduced us to Laura Ackers, today’s special guest. Before this masterclass, I hadn’t met Laura, but her presentation on supported living was nothing short of inspiring. She shared her experiences and detaile ..read more

Six years ago, Philippa and Tom Charrier, the dynamic duo behind the Fat Properties brand, graced the IPI podcast with their presence to share the humble beginnings of their student HMO ventures in Lancaster—my old university haunt.  About half a year later, Tom made a return appearance to drop a bombshell: he was ditching his day job to plunge headfirst into property investment.  We dove deep into their thought process, the meticulous planning that paved the way for this bold move, and why the timing felt just right. Fast forward to today, and it’s like no time has passed at all ..read more
