Thanks for watching and getting in touch 👍

Hi Jim. Hope I got your name right 😀 Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and ask some important questions. I appreciate and understand where you're coming from-scepticism is healthy, especially on social media platforms where fake news is rife. You're right that running a channel like this does take time and effort, but for me, it's a conscious investment. Sharing my knowledge and experiences isn’t just about helping others (although that's a significant part); it’s also about creating something meaningful that people can relate to. Seeing others succeed, knowing that I may have played a small part, is genuinely rewarding. One of my favourites is seeing how people react and fall in love with the properties I renovate and flip, which they buy to create their new home. My property ventures have provided me with an income, but this channel isn’t about that, it’s about creating a platform for sharing value. That said, I also see this as an opportunity to diversify. Digital content, courses, and other educational tools are part of a growing economy, and this channel allows me to combine my passion for property with the exciting potential of digital entrepreneurship. Regarding giving away "secrets to success," I believe there’s enough opportunity for everyone. Success in property or any business isn’t just about knowledge; it’s about execution, discipline, and the willingness to take the correct action. Most want to but rarely do. What I share is, as you probably know, merely a snippet of what is required. Sharing my knowledge and stories reinforces my commitment to transparency and authenticity. Finally, why do this at all? It’s a combination of passion, challenge, and legacy. I genuinely enjoy teaching and mentoring others, and I see this as a way to contribute to a community of like-minded people. Sure, it’s a time investment, but for me, it’s worth it because it aligns with my values and long-term goals. I hope the above gives you some insight into my motivations and the purpose behind this channel. I appreciate your honesty, and I am grateful for the opportunity to engage with thoughtful viewers like you. If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out-I’m always happy to chat. PS. I have no idea what the other comment relates to other than someone simply tagging onto videos and channels. 😀 Best regards, Roy Derrick

@@RoysPropertyTips Thank you for your in-depth response Roy. I appreciate the time you invested in that. Watching videos on KZbin usually sends you down a rabbit hole and you end up spending way too much time watching instead of doing. I just want to find a reliable source of information, clearly and well presented (not an easy task). I think I may have found that with your channel. I can confidently renovate a property ( normally by myself ) to a high standard without calling in other trades (other than to certify where required). But it has always been for our main home or for relatives and never for the purpose of flipping a property for profit. Looking forward to watching the rest of your videos and gaining more of an insight.

@jim-wt8xb If you can do all of the work yourself then it's highly likely you're profit margins flipping a property will be higher.

Thanks for getting in touch. I love converting houses that need renovation into lovely modern family homes that the local community can benefit from, which is what this will become rather than an HMO. What this space. 👍

Hi. I'll reveal the cost as the project progresses.

@@rebeccalindsay5795 Thank you for such a lovely comment. I’m Delighted you find this helpful. 🙏

That's worth considering to cover the costs

We'll bear that in mind😀👍that in mind. Thanks

Thank you

Thanks for your message. It would depend on demand. For example, is there demand, for an HMO within the area / location, not forgetting whether the planning department would object to a property being used as an HMO. If so then flats is another option and vise versa. More often than not an HMO would offer a mu ch better return on your investment via higher cash flow than flats.

Thanks for your view. Hope you're keeping well

@RoysPropertyTips "i am so cold" ahh response

Thanks for your message. The manhole and sewer line is approx 110 years old. Thankfully it is what is known as a combined sewer / rainwater drain, meaning we had permission to connect the downpipe into it.

@@areyoutryingtosay Thanks for your feedback. 👍

Thank you. Pleased it helps you.

It does vary but on average that is a guide. Always a good idea to check with your local planning department.

You're very welcome.

Thanks. It is very old and a shame really. But we hope to rebuild it using the same bricks.

@@RoysPropertyTips good to hear...they don't made bricks as good as they did in the pass...well I should say that is here in Ontario Canada not sure about the Uk.

That's true. Or if they do they cost a fortune.

In some areas it is but others a little wobbly

150 years.

It looks that way

Unfortunately, it does.

It is at present but a little wobbly in places
