We’ve got an exciting project underway—a 41-room development across several flats in a co-living care home. This visit highlights the steps we’re taking to prepare the building while awaiting planning approval. Key Points Covered: The scheme includes 41 rooms spread across multiple cluster flats in a sui generis care home, a unique concept we’re seeking planning for. Safety is a top priority. We’ve ensured the building is up to standard with the required electrical, gas, and fire safety certificates. Guardians have been placed in the property, providing a small income stream while we await full planning approval. It’s all about maximising the property’s potential during this waiting period. The next steps include continuing to develop the property while ensuring everything is in place for a successful planning outcome. Looking to learn more about developing large properties like this?

Managing a large property while awaiting planning permission can be tricky, but using guardianship can help keep your property secure and occupied. In this update, I’m sharing how we’re handling a 14,500 square foot care home in Hampshire, ensuring it remains habitable and generating income while we wait for the next steps. Key Points Covered: The property is currently housing guardians, providing us with security and some rental income while we await planning approval. We’ve refreshed the property, making sure it meets safety standards with EIRC certificates, gas safety certs, and plumbing checks. Once planning is approved, we plan to offer the guardians full-time ASTs (Assured Shorthold Tenancies), potentially increasing rent and stabilising income. Guardianship is a great way to keep large properties secure and occupied while you navigate planning and development stages.

Ever wondered how developers move ahead with projects even before planning permission is secured? Today, I’m sharing an update on our 14,500 square foot care home development in Hampshire, where we’re taking calculated risks to push the project forward. Key Points Covered: We haven't secured planning permission yet, but we're doing light refurbishment under permitted development rules to keep the project moving. We've placed guardians in the building as we work through the early stages, keeping the property occupied and secure. We've already had two pre-application meetings with the council, and the feedback has been positive, giving us confidence in our approach. While we're taking a risk by starting work before full planning approval, we believe it's worth it to stay ahead and minimise project delays.

Ever wondered how converting an older care home into flats can turn into a profitable venture? Today, we're showing you how we’re transforming a building with multiple entrances, stairwells, and unique layouts into quality flats ready for the market. Key Points Covered: This project has multiple entrances and exits, giving the flats great accessibility and privacy, making them more appealing to tenants. The building was once a care home, with many outdated elements like carpets and flower-patterned walls. We’ve already installed laminate flooring throughout, giving it a modern feel. We're making these changes before finalising the planning permission because we're confident in the change of use approval. This is a bit of a risk, but it allows us to move quickly once the green light is given. We’re focused on over-engineering certain elements, like the front doors, to elevate the quality of each flat.

Have you ever considered borrowing from family to get started in property investment? It could be the trust and integrity boost you need to secure initial funding. However, don’t feel pressured to start big—demonstrating your capability through smaller projects can build trust and help grow your portfolio over time. Key Points Covered: Borrowing from family or close connections can be a solid first step. They trust your integrity and understand your character, which can make the process easier. Don’t stress about starting with a large project—building a track record through smaller deals shows investors that you can deliver on time and on budget. It’s better to bite off only what you can chew; people will respect your professionalism for taking calculated steps rather than overextending yourself.

Are you aware of the potential challenges when using buy-to-let income to secure further finance? Many lenders don’t favour it as a sole income source, especially when it comes to applying for a residential mortgage. Key Points Covered: If your only income is from a buy-to-let property and it’s mortgaged, much of that income is tied up in paying off the mortgage, making it harder for lenders to consider it for other financing. When applying for residential mortgages, lenders typically don’t count buy-to-let income in your affordability calculations unless you're drawing it as income. Retail-to-residential conversions are gaining popularity. With planning permission in place, some lenders are more open to financing these projects, but expect constraints and restrictions under PD (Permitted Development). Thinking about how you can finance your next big project?
