  • Has London’s Property Market Falling? FULL Data Analysis
    Dec 9 2025

    The Passive Property Investor YouTube Channel! - https://www.youtube.com/@ThePassivePropertyInvestor

    In this episode, I dive into the REAL numbers behind London’s property market from 2020 to 2025.

    You’ve probably seen headlines saying “London has crashed” — but is that actually true? Using official UK House Price Index data, Rightmove sold prices, and regional comparison charts, we break down what’s really happening.

    Has London genuinely fallen? Or is it just flat… or still up from pre-Covid levels?

    This episode explains:
    • London prices in 2020 vs 2022 vs 2025
    • The drop from the 2022 peak
    • Why London is underperforming other regions
    • Property type breakdown
    • How inflation changes the picture
    • What all this means for landlords and investors

    If you want to understand the London market without the hype, this is the episode to listen to.

  • Will Rent Controls Kill Buy-to-Let in the UK?
    Nov 22 2025

    The Passive Property Investor YouTube Channel! - https://www.youtube.com/@ThePassivePropertyInvestor

    Rent controls are back in the headlines – but will they kill buy-to-let in the UK?

    In this episode I break down:
    ✅ What rent controls actually mean for landlords and tenants
    📊 The real data on rents, yields, and demand in 2025
    ⚠️ How rent caps have already impacted Scotland
    🎯 Whether buy-to-let can still work if rent controls expand across the UK

    As a landlord, I share my honest view on whether rent controls will destroy BTL, or if they’ll just change the way we have to invest.

    If you’re thinking about starting or growing your portfolio in 2025, this is essential viewing.

  • Why Good Interest Rates Don’t Guarantee a Good Deal
    Oct 28 2025

    The Passive Property Investor YouTube Channel! - https://www.youtube.com/@ThePassivePropertyInvestor

    Everyone’s obsessed with interest rates — but here’s the truth: even when they’re low, other factors can completely derail your property plans.

    In this video, I share real-life stories from my own portfolio:

    The times I had great interest rates but still couldn’t remortgage.

    Lenders pulling out of deals at the last minute.

    Low valuations killing equity release plans.

    How economic events (like Liz Truss’ mini-budget chaos) hit the property market harder than rates alone.

    If you’re a property investor or homeowner, you need to know why focusing only on interest rates can give you a false sense of security.

    You’ll hear about:

    • Ceiling leaks, stolen furniture, and vanishing tenants
    • Nightmare demands and damage you can’t claim back
    • Why I now let a good agency handle the headaches
