    What Is The Best Property Strategy?

    06/2/2026 | 16 mins.
    What Is The Best Property Strategy?
    This week, we break down the UK locations that saw the strongest house price growth in 2025, and why chasing “top growth” headlines can be a fast way to overcomplicate things (we’ve all been there).
    We also look at what Santander’s new 98% mortgage could mean for UK house prices, using what happened in Australia at the end of 2025 as a blueprint for how higher LTV lending can quickly push demand and prices higher.
    Along the way, I managed to make a brand-new word (“cre-aft”), and a cautionary tale about how I managed to lose money on crypto… more than once. Listen to my mistakes so you dont do the same.
    We finish by explaining a simple, repeatable UK property strategy built for expats and overseas landlords, focused on consistency, low hassle, and staying in the game long term.

    Why you shouldn’t care about interest rates.. (I don’t)

    30/1/2026 | 14 mins.
    UK house prices have just recorded their strongest January on record, mortgage rates are falling, and 200,000 landlords have left the market, but none of that matters as much as most people think.
    In this episode of The Expat Property Portfolio, we explain why interest rates shouldn’t dictate your property decisions, and why waiting for the “perfect rate” often costs investors far more in missed growth than it ever saves.
    We also cover the UK government’s ground rent cap, what it actually changes, and why short-term sentiment is a poor guide for long-term wealth.
    If you’re investing from overseas and focused on building a portfolio for the next 10+ years, not the next headline, this episode is for you.
