It’s for you-hoo 📞☎️

For the kids out there this object is a mobile phone which was screwed to a wall. People put actual, physical money in it and it allowed them to ring someone to speak to - no texting! 🤯

It also meant you had to remember peoples phone numbers, or at least have them written down somewhere.

This particular relic is going to be tickled up by the gaffer and used as a photo opp in the garden of one of our properties. Hopefully guests will tag us in their Instagram posts and increase our reach to potential new guests.

We’re back from our break now and looking to push on with our projects and pipeline.

We always have a lot going on and therefore often have opportunity for normal people to benefit from our activity by getting great interest on their investments with us.

Now is no different. If you’d like to know more about how we can help your money work harder for you simply send me a DM!

Absolutely delighted that our flagship accessible property is now available through Accessible Holiday Escapes! Such a fantastic family business to be involved with which shares our ethos for hard work and community spirit. Becky and the team have done a great job with this listing.

We have another one like this in conveyancing at the moment which is in a more rural location.

We welcome all bookings and enquiries ❤️

Progress! 🚧👷‍♀️

Site number 3 moving forwards quickly this week.

It’s my favourite part of the whole process but I’m missing it by being on holiday 😢

These phases of the build with all the demolition, trench digging, new foundations, rebuilding and then watching the new layout of the property come to life are the best bit.

When people come and look around our portfolio they always comment on the amazing decor, funky tiles, lovely light fittings etc.

Nobody sees this bit. The planning, sequencing, orchestration and graft that goes into forming the bone structure of the building so that the pretty bits can look good.

There’s going to be a cheeky extension on this and the whole rear of the property will be open plan.

If that isn’t enough we’re taking the roof off (literally) and adding another storey to the top of the building - just like we did with the accessible bungalow - except this time the frame is fabricated out of timber off site.

Do it once and do it right!

Walking the talk 🚶🗣️

We’ve always got 3 active sites on the go at once in various stages of our ‘rebirthing’ process (😅 that’s a very tongue in cheek phrase as it sounds so cringe)

Pic 1: the site prep and demolition of a brilliant 3 bed house which is nearly being doubled in size to be a luxury home in a prestige area. The beginning phase.

Pic 2: Outside of a property being tickled up with render before painting. Then carpets, furnishing and refinance. (The middle phase but nearly finished)

3rd pic - A truly special property in which is going to be the most luxurious holiday property in the area. Now being furnished after we’ve done the internal works, bookings already coming in and ready to hit the ground running in a week or so (the end phase).

Not one photo of me standing outside a rented property in front of a Range Rover. We’re far too busy getting things done.

Follow for more updates from probably the hardest working and most genuine small family property business out there. 👍🏼

New YouTube vid!

The full interview with and myself is now up on YouTube.

Before we went live James said to me that my ‘thumbnails are awful’!

I didn’t have any or know how to do them!

Anyway, I’ve sussed it out now but I’m damned if I’m going to play the clickbait game.

It’s an absolutely fantastic conversation, so much learning in there from someone who’s seen and done it all.

Available now on YouTube and all audio platforms

Hope you enjoy 🙏

Tiling, tiling and more tiling! 😵‍💫

With a quick trip up the scaffolding to assess the roof and guttering before it gets rendered.

Very, very nearly finished on this one now.

Refinance underway, should be ready for the valuer by the time they get their act together and then rented out for summer!

We have plenty of projects in our pipeline, the next two are absolute belters!

Taking the lessons learned from each job and applying them onto the next. Progress 🚀

We have investment opportunities available. If you are sitting on cash in the bank and would like to make it work for you then please send me a DM. You won’t be disappointed 🤩

New Partnership! 🤝 🥳

❤️ We are proud and beyond delighted to announce that we have partnered with the UK’s leading charity supporting young wheelchair users and their families!

Our Liberty Stays company and Whizz Kidz have joined forces to provide discounted stays in our current Liberty property and future properties as they emerge from our pipeline.

Not only that, but once we reach our occupancy target for the year we will be giving a large proportion of the remaining calendar to for free to use as they see fit - this should allow families who wouldn’t normally be able to afford to go on holiday the chance for a break in a luxurious setting.

If you are already a Whizz Kidz client you will find more information through their usual channels. If you aren’t a client or service user and you are in need of their help I would strongly suggest contacting them to learn about the most amazing work they do!

If you want to see more of our accessible holiday properties just head over to

There will be more on this coming over the subsequent weeks and months.

Reasons to book with us No.1834:
😂🤢
Interesting article in one of the national rags this morning - a hotel owner cloned a room key to get in and indulge his foot fe**sh with a guest! 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

As if you needed any other reason to book one of our self-catering properties when you visit !?🤷🏻‍♂️

Here are another few for you:
1) All properties have amazing beds and mattresses.
2) 300mb+ wifi as standard
3) Freshly refurbished, very high standard fixtures and fittings.
4) Each property has had a full interior design scheme applied so it feels special.
5) based on 2 people or more staying, we are cheaper than hotels yet you get much more space, living areas and outdoor space
6) Support local and family business.
7) We have the only purpose built holiday property in the region.

So, if you’re coming to Teesside for work or play, think of us!

Best prices if you book direct as always!

Planning granted 💥

It’s taken a while to come back but we’ve had the good news today that our planning has been accepted on a 3 bed semi in a wonderful location! The small village of Norton.

We’ve had everyone on standby for a while now waiting for this but we can finally get going now. The property will be shored up tomorrow and the demolition and extension works will begin in a matter of days!

Not sure why the date on the certificate is from March because we’ve been chasing this since then!

Another one of our pipeline coming to fruition. Absolutely buzzing to see this one come to life.

A very much needed few days away with my pals.

It’s been a very busy and stressful 6 months so it’s lovely to be stuck in a car (not the old truck) and concentrate on something other than the various projects we’ve got going on and the pipeline coming towards us rapidly.

With so much going on, including exciting meetings with business owners looking to sell, the next few weeks is set to be big for us.

Back to it shortly!

I love making these payments.

Interest being paid to our Angel Investors who have chosen to invest with us rather than an ISA for a number of reasons:

1️⃣ Much higher interest rate than any savings account
2️⃣ A relationship with who they invest in - they can come and look at what we are doing, pick the phone up, send messages or go out for tea. It’s not just numbers on a screen
3️⃣ Feel good - helping a small family business to grow. The rate limiting step for most businesses is availability of funds. Our hard work over the years is clear to see but without finance it is even harder. Put the two things together and you can really do something special.
4️⃣ Track record - we can prove what we’ve done, what we are doing and that we aren’t going anywhere.
5️⃣ We’re different from the rest. In a couple of significant ways - with backgrounds in health we have the highest ethical standard which have been carried over from our professional lives. Also we are building a business which caters for the members of society who have challenges - such as wheelchair users - with our properties.
6️⃣ The money back when you want it - subject to a reasonable notice period.

At the moment we have a funding opportunity of up to £100k. If you can fill all or part of that amount for a fabulous return, or you’re just intetested in how it works - please either send a DM or check out our website - link in bio

WOLLOP! 💥

Absolutely delighted to share the news that one of my favourite entrepreneurs (and business owners and YouTube creators and vertical integration specialist and public speakers and……..) has sprinkled some of his business and property insights onto 💥

has seen and done it all over his 20+ years in business and now employs over 1000 people across his various ventures in the South East.

He was also very interested in why an established GP like myself would be doing what I’m doing.

Definitely not to be missed. Part 1 of 2 will be out on your favourite platforms on Monday. The full video will be on my YT channel the following week.

Not quite the crash… 🤦🏻‍♂️

My favourite subject - the media selling bad news 😂

Well, the zoopla HPI is out today and shows that things aren’t quite so bad after all.

In fact, pretty much all the HPI’s are now in agreement:

Demand is still higher than in 2019 (the last time we had ‘normal market conditions’).

We’ve had the usual end of year/seasonal dip in prices and now they are rising again - as is the way in a normal yearly market cycle.

Demand is less than it was when the market was on rocket fuel- no bad thing. A white hot market is never the best operating environment (but some of us were still pretty active).

No crash yet! (Don’t hold your breath, there’s at least a year left In my opinion)

Looks like we are heading back to more sensible trading conditions.

Finding property deals 👀

Everyone is obsessed with Rightmove. We all love spending hours scrolling, it’s a national pastime 😅

There are some deals there too if you know what you’re doing, but because the estate agents are involved it can be tricky. Plus literally everyone else can see them too!

What’s the alternative?

Put in the work! Walk the pavements, talk to people, put leaflets through doors, risk rejection and get used to it! Network!

Basically all the things you don’t want to do because it’s hard.

Once you’ve been around a while and people know what you do, you’ll find that opportunities are brought to you. But don’t think you can shortcut this. It takes time and hard-yards.

Sorry, but that’s the reality.

Agree or disagree? Let me know below 👇

Helping normal people beat the banks!

A huge part of our growth this year has come through the ability to raise private investment.

These are all normal people who want something better than the banks can offer on their savings.

We are a hardworking family business who would like something better than bridging finance rates.

Join the dots and you can see that everyone can win.

Since we have a track record of stacking deals that work and cashflow well, people can see that their money is safe. Plus, all our investors get regular updates and can pop along for a site visit whenever they want. We are very transparent.

If you are looking for somewhere to get a high interest on your savings (enough to pay for your yearly family holiday, cost of living increases, car payments - whatever it may be!) then please do what this person did and get in touch.

Our pipeline is nearly fully funded now but there is a window of opportunity for people to get involved.

And if you need a further reason - other than great interest rates - then how’s about a good feeling? We are building a brand of luxury holiday properties which can be used by people with disabilities. Last weekend we had a guest who had never been on holiday in their life because there isn’t anything out there.

This is how you do property. What are you waiting for?

About this ‘crash’ 😉

Hardly a day goes by without news of the house market crashing.

Whether that is because of the base rate rising, a lettuce taking charge of the country, cost of living increases, wage and inflationary pressures, covid etc etc.

The media like to cook up a storm because it puts eyes on their channels and sells their papers.

During winter they’ll tell you that asking prices have reduced, therefore the market is crashing 😱

But they don’t tell you that asking prices reduce every winter. It’s the normal market cycle 🤷🏻‍♂️

They pick and choose what suits their narrative.

There are a few different sources of data from which to gather your info. The largest is RM, and they are seeing numbers still higher than 2019 in terms of demand and sales. (Remember the great property crash of 2019? No, me neither 😂)

Sure, the current inflationary pressures have taken some of the froth off a white hot market, but we’re moving into stable and (dare I say it) ‘normal’ conditions.

As an investor, only buy if you know how to add value or can ensure it’s cashflowing at current rates if you intend to hold the asset.

There is still some legs in this market yet.

If you don’t ‘want to accept being poorer’ (words of the Bank of England) and would like your saving to give you an extra income stream then send me a DM. I’m sure we can help 😉

Editing and refining the plans 🤓

Really excited for this, our second site!

In case you missed it, Liberty Stays is our super-lux holiday accommodation which caters for everyone including those with disabilities and mobility issues.

Our first property in Redcar has been a great success but it’s only a drop in the ocean as to what is required.

Our second site (currently in conveyancing) is a large detached bungalow which will be getting the full treatment including a full hip to gable conversion. We’re going 2 bed,1 bath to 4 bed, 3bath with outstanding views and exterior space.

Nestled in a lovely countryside location this one is sure to get a lot of interest.

We’ve had lots of enquiries from people wanting to do something meaningful with their money by investing with us whilst we build this property.

There is still time to get involved if you fancy getting a great return on your saving and helping to develop a really worthwhile facility. ❤️

The picture above my desk in the Surgery

Recognise it?

It’s the Grand Canal in Milan, and it was taken on a family holiday a little while ago.

It serves as a reminder for what our efforts are about. More quality time with family and exploring beautiful places.

Some days you don’t need a reminder, you come into work and all appointments are gone before you’ve started the day. You know you’ll spend it explaining why there aren’t enough staff and too much demand…

Wistful notions aside, this dream is closer than it was 3-4 years ago due to the efforts we’ve put in over that time.

If you want your life to change, you have to be the one to change it.

Don’t wait for something to fall into your lap, the graveyards are full of people still waiting.

We are just getting going. What about you?

Who doesn’t love a nice light fitting?

The boss (Nicola) has an addiction to light fittings. The fact she owns a property company just disguises the severity of her addiction really 😅

Anyway, here are a selection of a few of the light fittings she’s chosen over the years.

Which one is your favourite?

Book review time.. 📖

After a string of average books which haven’t inspired me to review them, this came as a very pleasant surprise.

Everyone knows who the author is, but rather than just being a biography, this book is a mindset manual. A guide about how to approach life and see the positives in situations.

It’s coloured by stories from his life which are often hilarious and insightful. He also has a very interesting childhood.

I’m sure the physical book is interesting, but the audio book - read by McConaughey - is simply not to be missed.

Greenlights. One I’ll definitely listen to again soon.
5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Assets over liabilities…

What’s better, a flash car or an old pick up truck?

This is me driving a vehicle which isn’t my trusty and rusty old Ford Ranger.

How my life has changed. In my previous life I was absolutely addicted to fast cars and modifying them. I spent a kings ransom every year on maintaining them etc.

When I look back, I shudder sometimes.

I’ve still got some nice things, don’t get me wrong. But gone are the days of blowing money on things to make me look good in the eyes of people I don’t know.

Nowadays it’s more about integrity with myself. My values. Knowing that whilst I drive round in a £2k truck, it’s doing the same job (possibly better) as a £30k truck and not losing money. I know that the income from one of our units covers its purchase price every month.

We are building something for the future. A collection of performing assets which will pay us back with recurring revenue for the rest of our lives.

At some point the sacrifices will pay off. And boy are we sacrificing. If people knew how hard it was they’d think we were crazy.

Maybe we are.

But the message is simple - make, invest or buy something which pays you every month/year for the future. Then use that to buy your luxuries.

But nobody wants the get rich slow trick though…

Super proud ❤️❤️❤️

It started with a vision to bring truly luxury holiday accommodation to the market, but in a way that allowed those with disabilities or mobility issues to enjoy it too.

We sourced the property that fit our needs, designed it purposefully, rebuilt and extended it.

We’ve been overwhelmed by the feedback so far, especially from those who need this kind of accommodation the most ❤️

We’ve had everyone from families with elderly grandparents to parents with children with significant care needs.

And they all love it. ❤️

With everything we do in property, this project has the most ‘feel-good’ about it. A facility that people are grateful exists, not just another holiday let.

Welcome to the Serviced Accommodation revolution. 🚀

We have our second Liberty Site in legals and planning. There are funding opportunities there if you want to get involved and get a great return on your money.
