The Return: Property & Investment Podcast
The Return is a podcast for property investors and developers who want to get UK housing deals done, even in a tough market.

Each episode features a real life case study or topic including: planning reform, policy shifts, funding conditions, deal viability, sales, delivery challenges and measuring impact.
Hosted by Anna Clare Harper, Director at Pinnacle Investments and author of three best-selling books on residential investing. Her mission is to help mobilise capital to drive the delivery of 10,000 more, better homes by 2030.
Join 350,000+ listeners learning how to build, fund and deliver more, better UK housing deals.

'How I scale Real Estate Businesses' - Ex-COO of Bidwells
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
It's hard to scale in real estate
Without a big budget, expensive team or endless meetings.
I asked Kelly Bream
A multi-time founder and ex-COO, Bidwells
How she has grown multiple real estate businesses from local to national.
She shared the playbook for local to national growth on the podcast, including:
- People > platforms first.
Hire complements (e.g. brand/marketing), not clones.
- Standardise the boring; localise the value.
Central compliance/process. Local nuance + relationships.
- What and where, before how.
Win work before the tooling is perfect.
- Measure what matters early.
Lead conversion, cash runway - not vanity metrics.
