Securing Your Financial Future: A Landlord's Guide to Long-Term Property Wealth

What 20 Years in Property Taught Me About Surviving the Rental Market

The rental market today looks nothing like it did twenty years ago. In this episode, Elliot Leigh co-founder Leigh Young reflects on two decades in property - from buying his first investment to building Elliot Leigh and navigating major shifts in tax, regulation, and landlord risk. We explore how the sector has evolved, why many landlords are rethinking their approach, and the biggest lesson long-term investors learn: survival in property isn’t about chasing the highest yield - it’s about adapting to constant change. If Leigh were starting again today, would he do anything differently? Tune in to hear what twenty years in the rental market really teaches you.

The 2025 Budget: Managing the 42% Tax Squeeze on UK Landlords

Ian Collins, Leigh Young, Paul Shamplina, and Barry Soraff break down the Autumn Budget 2025, detailing the shift to new 22%, 42%, and 47% property tax rates and why 93,000 landlords are now expected to exit the market. The panel explores how the cumulative pressure of fiscal drag and the Renters' Rights Act has made the financial risk of traditional letting often exceeding £30,000 in London unmanageable for many. By comparing the narrowing margins of individual ownership against the stability of limited companies and social housing schemes, this episode reveals why Elliot Leigh’s Guaranteed Rent model is becoming the essential "de-risking" strategy for the modern investor.
