Property Market SHOCK: Why Investors Are Buying When Everyone Else Waits

With rising interest rates, inflation pressures, and a lot of uncertainty in the headlines, many landlords are choosing to wait things out. But the reality is that opportunities still exist — if you know where to look and how to approach the market strategically.

In this episode of The Investor’s Corner Podcast, we share a clear, realistic market update for landlords and property investors. We discuss why timing matters less than strategy, how to use debt effectively, and why overpaying your mortgage might be slowing down your long-term progress.

Is Now a Good Time to Buy?

It’s a question on every investor’s mind. While higher borrowing costs make things feel tougher, market slowdowns often create opportunities for those willing to think long-term.
We break down what’s really happening right now, and how experienced investors are adjusting their approach to make smart, sustainable decisions.


Rethinking Debt

Debt isn’t just a burden used correctly, it’s a tool that allows you to grow.
We look at the difference between productive borrowing and risky leverage, and how understanding that balance can help you scale your portfolio without overextending yourself.


Overpaying vs. Releasing Equity

Many landlords feel safer overpaying their mortgage. But locking up too much capital in one property can limit your flexibility and future growth.
We explore how releasing equity can create new opportunities, diversify your portfolio, and help you build long-term wealth more efficiently.


Timing vs. Strategy

Trying to time the market perfectly is almost impossible. What matters most is having a clear, well-thought-out strategy that allows you to adapt.
This episode helps you cut through the noise and focus on what you can control, building a resilient investment plan that works in any market.

Landlords often debate how much to spend on their rental property. Overspending eats into profits, but under-investing leads to bigger problems later — not to mention unhappy tenants. The key is to focus on improvements that add long-term value, reduce maintenance, and keep your property attractive to tenants.

Are you searching for these phrases? “My home isn’t selling, and I don’t know why.” “I feel stuck in a sole agency agreement.” “How do I get things moving again with my property sale?” If yes, it means you’re in what we call the “agent gap”, when your agent’s actions no longer match your goals...
