The Business of Property follows the journey of two entrepreneurs working in the property world.
Stuart is a property investor with a focus on HMOs, mostly for the student market. He prefers a hands-off approach with most of his investment properties being remote.
Simon has a small portfolio of vanilla buy-to-let properties that he mostly self-manages. To make his property management easier he created Property and Tenant Manager (https://www.patma.co.uk/).
Simon and Stuart, along with guests, discuss the ups and downs they're experiencing in their property businesses. Along the way they share property news, business tips and anything else that happens to crop up their weekly chats.

Customer Reviews
Superb
Loving your podcasts, really informative with a sprinkle of humour, intended or not?!?! I appreciate your insights which have helped me immensely
Great podcast!
Excellent podcast. I am a former home builder in my country, and since I came to the UK, I have been looking for help to get on the property ladder. Hearing this podcast fulfills me with confidence to go for it. Great information you share on it. Thanks and congrats! Have you thought about creating a bootcamp or some kind of workshop? Let me know
Digestible and accessible information and opinion
The podcast show is hugely informative and really hits the mark in discussion topics which, as a relatively new BTL investor with aspirations for branching out, provide really useful insights- especially the ‘worked example’ episodes! The PatMa software too is an immensely powerful tool in monitoring the performance of current investments and searching and planning for the next one!
