Expat UK Property Story
Expat Property Story is a UK property podcast for expats, overseas investors, foreign nationals and digital nomads who want to build and manage a UK property portfolio remotely.
Host John, The Expat Property Guy, has been investing in UK property from Hong Kong since 2018, and the show shares what he and his guests have learned along the way, mistakes included.
Each week, John talks to expat property investors, mortgage brokers, accountants, letting agents, sourcers and auction specialists about the practical realities of UK property investing from abroad.
Topics include expat buy-to-let, expat and non-resident mortgages, HMO investing, UK property auctions, refurbishments, buy-refurbish-refinance (BRR), bridging loans, deal sourcing, remote project management, UK landlord tax, Section 24, the Non-Resident Landlord Scheme and the Renters' Rights Act.
Monday Mini-sodes bring regular UK mortgage updates, property auction roundups, tax tips and deal reviews, while the longer Thursday episodes cover everything else you need for remote property investing.
The show is sceptical of property gurus and hype, and focuses on what actually works for investors buying and holding UK buy-to-let from overseas.
With a back catalogue of 330+ episodes, this is the podcast for anyone building UK property wealth from outside the UK.
