From Maternity Leave to Rent-to-Rent Success with Lucy Akrigg

This week on the Girls and Property Podcast, Athena Dobson is joined by one of our original Girls in Property community members, Lucy Akrigg – and trust me, this episode is one you won’t want to miss!

Not only is this Lucy’s very first podcast appearance (and can we just say – she absolutely smashes it!), but her story is one that’s sure to leave you feeling inspired. It’s one of those “if she can do it, so can I” moments – and we’re here for it.

Lucy takes us back to how she got started in property during her maternity leave (yes, really!) and launched her very first rent-to-rent business, whilst continuing to travel the world with her family. Fast forward to now, and she’s growing her portfolio with HMOs and serviced accommodation units at a pace that’s honestly hard to keep up with – all while balancing the realities of mum life and running a business like a total pro.

As always, our chat dives into the real, behind-the-scenes stuff: the highs, the hustle, and those classic “what on earth am I doing?” moments. Lucy shares some brilliant tips on sourcing properties, picking the right tenants, and gives a refreshingly honest take on what it’s really like building a business with your partner by your side.

If you’ve ever found yourself doubting your dreams, Lucy’s journey is your reminder that with a bit of resilience, a supportive home life, and a whole lot of heart, you can build a property business you love.
