  1. Episode 59 Planning Tales

    5D AGO

    Episode 59 Planning Tales

    In this episode, Phil shares that since 2021, we’ve completed 38 planning applications, with a strong success rate, but still a few refusals along the way. And that’s the key message: you can be excellent, have experience, work with professionals… and still get a “no” sometimes. This is the big one for most small developers, moving between use classes (e.g. Class E to C3) which often needs planning or prior approval. He also flags how Article 4 Directions can remove PD rights, especially around HMOs.

    Episode 54: 6 Rounds with Steve Hammond: From Tools to Deals

    In this Six Rounds episode, we sit down with Steve Hammond, builder, developer, landlord, and co-host of the Developers Network in Birmingham. Steve never planned to work in construction. One unexpected project led to another, and before he knew it, he’d built a career spanning extensions, developments, and a growing property portfolio. In this conversation, he shares the real turning points: scaling challenges, mindset shifts, and why learning to step back was just as important as learning to build. It’s an honest look at what happens when hard work alone isn’t enough, and how the right systems, team, and thinking unlock the next level.

    Episode 53 An interview with Vicky Sherwood: Playing the game to financial freedom

    In this episode, we sit down with Vicky Sherwood, a pharmaceutical professional and driven property investor building a serious portfolio alongside a full-time career and family life. Vicky is an example of how to expertly play the property game to achieve Financial Freedom. Haste not Speed, Laser Focus not Shiny Penny. Vicky shares what it really looks like to chase financial freedom when you’ve got kids, a demanding job, and limited hours, and why she’s chosen cash-flow strategies like HMOs and serviced accommodation to create long-term control (without betting the house). This one’s practical, relatable, and packed with real-world honesty. From early-morning graft to building a portfolio with the right people around you.

    Episode 52: Article 4 Friend or Foe?

    In this episode, we sit down to unpack Article 4 directions and what they really mean for property investors and developers. We break down, in straightforward terms, how Article 4 works, why so many councils across Greater Manchester are adopting it, and the impact it has on C3–C4 HMO conversions. From tighter planning controls to protected asset values, changing supply, and rising barriers to entry. This episode explores both sides of the debate. Is Article 4 a problem… or an opportunity in disguise? No jargon. Just a clear look at what’s happening and how investors can navigate it. 🎧 Watch or listen now on YouTube, Spotify, or Apple Podcasts. #FinancialFreedomPodcast #Article4 #HMO #PropertyInvestment #UKProperty #Planning #SmallScaleDevelopment #WealthBuilding This podcast is sponsored by Property Filter register.property-filter.co.uk/ppb Stay connected with us through our social media channels: Facebook: ⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/propertyportfoliobuilding/ LinkedIn: ⁠⁠ ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/company/propertyportfoliobuilding/ Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/propertyportfoliobuildinguk/ YouTube: ⁠⁠youtube.com/@propertyportfoliobuilding/⁠⁠ Websites: ⁠⁠propertyportfoliobuilding.co.uk⁠⁠ & ⁠⁠invest-prop.co.uk⁠⁠ Connect with our hosts: Phil Bygrave: https://www.linkedin.com/in/phil-bygrave-8b792421/ Facebook: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/phil.y.bygrave Get in touch with Tim here: LinkedIn: ⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/timothy-witt-77b0275b/⁠⁠ Facebook: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/timothy-witt-77b0275b/ COME AND MEET US http://www.manchesternorthpin.co.uk use "bygrave" to attend for free!
