The Property Rebel

In this week's episode of The Property Rebel: Arsh Ellahi pulls back the curtain on exactly how he analyses a property deal before committing — from spotting below-market-value opportunities to deciding whether a house works better as a HMO or a small block of flats. Using real numbers and examples from his own portfolio, Arsh walks through location checks, floor plans, Article 4 rules, conversion costs, and why commercial valuations can dramatically change the outcome of a deal. He also explains how he compares cashflow, refinance potential, management workload, and exit strategies before choosing the best route forward. Whether you're weighing up HMOs versus apartments or simply want a clearer framework for assessing your next purchase, this episode is a practical masterclass in thinking like a professional property investor — not just buying houses, but building scalable strategies.

In this week's episode of The Property Rebel: Arsh Ellahi goes on a straight-talk rant about one of the biggest mistakes investors make — coming across too desperate to do a deal. He breaks down how buyers often inflate figures, stretch rents beyond reality, or fabricate numbers just to satisfy a seller, only to be hit hard later by down-valuations, surveyors, or refinancing issues. Using a real HMO example, Arsh explains why unrealistic assumptions can trap your capital and stall your entire portfolio. Arsh shares why every deal must work for both buyer and seller, and why having clear entry and exit strategies is non-negotiable. From lender selection to income realism and broker conversations, this episode is a must-listen if you want to protect your money, avoid painful surprises, and build a portfolio that allows you to scale deal after deal — without desperation driving your decisions.

In this week's episode of The Property Rebel: Arsh Ellahi kicks off 2026 with a powerful reset on how property investors should approach the year ahead. Instead of sprinting out of the blocks like everyone else, Arsh explains why 2026 must be treated as a marathon, not a race — especially with uncertainty around legislation, the Renters Reform Bill, and wider market conditions. He urges investors to slow down, tighten their belts, and focus on stress-testing and optimising the portfolios they already own before chasing new deals. Arsh also shares real examples of deals he's already lined up — from rent-to-rent and lease options to creative purchases — proving that opportunities still exist for those who stay strategic and selective. From increasing cashflow on existing assets to spotting deals through brokers and social media, this episode is a grounded, realistic roadmap for navigating 2026 calmly, cautiously, and profitably.
