I sat down with Davy Hutton (the voice behind “Quicksale… SOLD!”) to dig into personal brand, social media that actually converts, and what’s really happening in the Scotland property market right now. We talk about why he’s back on social, the story behind the radio catchphrase, how TikTok differs from Facebook/Instagram in the real world, and why credibility is marketability if you’re sourcing deals, trading, or building a portfolio. We also get into home-report premiums coming back to reality, signs of a buyer-leaning market, and even how AI might change estate-agency staging sooner than people think.

In this episode I sit down with David Stewart to dig into how he actually runs UK property trades, flips, deal sourcing and portfolio building in Scotland. We break down a real quick trade—bought for £70k, sold for £122k about ten days later (listed the same day, no refurb)—and walk through the numbers, funding and timing. We also cover pricing, managing risk, and how David decides when to trade, refurb or hold. If you’re into UK property investing, motivated sellers, BRR, flipping houses or building a buy-to-let base, you’ll find practical ideas you can apply in the Scotland property market. We also talk auctions, staffing vs staying lean, and the realities behind cashflow, bridging, investor loans and exit strategies—without the hype, just what works on the ground in Scotland.  👉 Subscribe for real deals, straight talk, and working strategies. 🌐 Join the Property Coaching Network (£59/month, cancel anytime): https://propertycoachingnetwork.com Follow me: 📲 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/david_smart_property/ 📲 TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@davidsmartproperty 📲 LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/david-smart- 📲 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/david.smart.7393/ 📩 Business enquiries: team@propertycoachingnetwork.com Chapters: 00:06 Intro & why this conversation matters for UK investors.  01:22 Life at auction & moving into investing (roles, deal flow).  14:43 Portfolio risk, revaluations & policy changes to watch.  16:02 ADS, budgets and why Scotland keeps investors on their toes.  25:02 How David prices: legals/fees first, then real discount.  26:08 Deciding the exit: trade, refurb, let, or SA—optionality first.  27:20 North Berwick case study: buy £138k, values north of £300k.  28:00 Lead source & seller situation behind the deal.  33:16 Funding: bridging, investor loans, paying on time.  34:50 Managing timelines & looking after investors.  37:28 Heavy refurb numbers, LTV surprises & margin management.  40:56 Chains, seasonality & when to accept under home report.  47:14 Team vs lean ops: scaling without killing margin.  49:08 Best deal this year → the 10-day Edinburgh trade.  49:14 £70k buy → £122k sale in ~10 days; zero refurb; funded.  59:50 “No secret sauce”: sales skills, consistency, patience.  1:01:54 David Stewart’s socials & wrap-up. 
In this episode I sit down with Matt Morrison to talk honestly about why he left the Property Coaching Network, what burnout really looks like in property, and how stepping back changed his mindset, health and business. We cover the early days of building PCN, scaling too fast, running multiple businesses, and the point where “financial freedom” stops feeling like freedom. Matt Morrison shares the health scare that forced him to slow down, what he’d do differently, and the approach he’s taking now to invest without burning out. If you’re growing a property business (BRR, flips, deal sourcing, estate agency) and you’ve felt pressure to keep pushing, this will help. It’s not hype. It’s the reality of building in the UK property market and staying sane long-term. 👉 Subscribe for real stories and no-nonsense strategy. 🌐 Join the community: https://propertycoachingnetwork.com Follow me IG: https://instagram.com/david_smart_property TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@davidsmartproperty LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/david-smart- Facebook: https://facebook.com/david.smart.7393/ Business: team@propertycoachingnetwork.com
