Has anyone had any experience buying a discounted house with subsidence? It really depends on the type of issue and how bad it is but for the brave this could be a winner. I wonder how this shows up down the line though. Can I resell this with a certificate showing the repair and monitoring? Can I remortgage? Will the done up value still stack?

A big theme that came up in this morning’s Operationalise session… Wasn’t lack of knowledge. Wasn’t lack of opportunity. It was… jumping. Jumping between strategies. Jumping between ideas. Jumping into things that feel productive, but don’t actually move anything forward. And I get it. Because that kind of activity feels good. It feels like you’re doing something. But if I’m being honest with you as a coach… That’s often just avoidance. Avoidance of the small set of actions that actually matter. The ones that are repetitive. The ones that are uncomfortable. The ones that don’t give you an instant result. So what we really focused on today was this: Stripping it all back. What are the few things—really the few things—that, if you just did them consistently, would actually move your pipeline forward? And then having the discipline to just… do those. Not once.Not when you feel like it.But over and over again. Because this is the bit no one talks about enough: It’s boring. There’s a monotony to high performance that people don’t expect.It’s not constant breakthroughs—it’s repetition. It’s doing the same calls. The same follow-ups. The same analysis. Day after day, long before you see the result. And that requires something a bit deeper… A bit of bravery to trust the process. A bit of discipline to keep showing up. And a bit of patience to let it compound. So if you’re watching this back and you feel like you’ve been spinning your wheels a bit… Don’t add more. Just tighten your focus. Pick the actions that actually matter—and commit to them properly. That’s where the shift happens.

I'm just looking at a house for an HMO with a loft room. The loft room would be two floors away from the ground floor kitchen. The challenge is the one floor rule put in place from Lambeth and Croydon council. Possibly this is SUBJECTIVE to the planning officer's interpertation of the rule. I believe if there is no dining facilities then this would apply. The reason is so no one is carrying hot food up stairs because there's no where to eat. Any thoughts Unicorners?

We’re now in the High Performance & Operations cycle, and this week I want everyone focused on one thing: Focus and Time Mastery. The Beyond Limits High Performance Masterclass is progressing well — Quarter 1 to Month 4 is complete and I’ve started building Month 5 — and there’s a reason this sits inside the Academy. Most people don’t fail in property due to a lack of knowledge. They fail because of how they operate day to day. By mid-February the New Year motivation has faded and activity creeps in to replace progress. You can spend hours: - watching Rightmove - researching areas - tweaking spreadsheets - consuming content - …and still not actually move forward. This is where people become busy rather than effective. So a simple challenge this week: What did you do last week that directly moved you toward your first (or next) deal? Not learning. Not planning. Doing. Post your strategic progress in the comments. High performers work deliberately. Your calendar should show a property business being built — not a person reacting to the day. 📅 Calendar 🧠 Tomorrow — 10:00am: ACOM Coaching Please submit questions in advance via the link below: https://unicornos.softr.app/acom-questions 📊 Boardroom members: Tuesday aftern Deal Analysis also tomorrow at the normal time of 14:00. 📍 Wednesday 25th February — Boardroom (Chester) We have ONE guest slot left for this month. if you want to find out more and claim it before I release to my database, please check it out here: https://unicorns.robstewartglobal.com/boardroom-guest New Members Welcome to the new members: @Jacqueline Dumbarton @Kase Van @Alexander Laxton @Alan Simpson Please introduce yourself, what you want to build, and where you feel stuck — you’ll get far more from the Academy once the group knows you.
