83 Property was set up by Gavin Eade and Joseph Atkinson in 2017... since there the pair have grown there portfolio starting with BTL properties in the North East of England, soon moving into commercial to residential developments and more recently developments. Having been involved in over 80 transactions across multiple different strategies the pair have a story or two to tell. Here is where the good the bad and the ugly will be discussed with members of there large network group.
This week Joe and Taylor jumped on with me to help round out the year and reflect on what’s been a proper journey — 52 podcasts, no shortcuts, no skipped weeks.
What started as a challenge turned into something else entirely:
real industry insight, real conversations, and real reassurance.
The biggest takeaway from 2025?
The stronger the group
The better the relationships
The clearer (and easier) the path becomes
Property will throw problems at you.
That part is guaranteed.
But if you:
Structure the process
Build the right systems
Stay consistent when it’s uncomfortable
You’ll get there in the end.
A genuine thank you to everyone who’s listened in over the year — it doesn’t go unnoticed.
And a massive shout-out to everyone who jumped on, gave their time, and spoke openly and honestly. This series only worked because of you.
For now, we pause.
The next series will come soon enough.
Enjoy the break — but stay focused on your path.
Best regards

It’s like being a parent for the first time!
Property is like becoming a parent for the first time.
You don’t do it as a hobby And you definitely don’t squeeze it in on the way to work.
This week’s podcast was a proper one.
A very colourful, very honest conversation with Des Taylor, where we deep-dived into the real world of property — not the Instagram version.
What we covered:
The legal realities of being a landlord and property professional
The Housing Act and the consequences people sleepwalk into
How one phone call led to a fine — and ultimately sparked Des into helping others avoid the same mistakes
As the conversation unfolded, the same patterns we’ve seen all year showed up again:
Systems
Structure
Due diligence
Understanding the business you are actually in
Des shared his journey openly:
Selling his portfolio in the early 2000s when emotions were high
Heading to Florida and flipping / back-to-backing properties
Dipping into other professions
And, as it so often does in property, one conversation in Ireland with another investor pulling him right back in
To finish our 52-week run of conversations, speaking with Des felt like the right full stop.
Honest.
Experienced.
Zero fluff.
A fitting way to close out 2025.
Huge thanks to Des — and to everyone who jumped on this year and spoke openly and honestly.
Until next week.

Two left to go!
After hours of listening to founders, investors, developers, operators and dealmakers on podcasts, a few truths keep smacking us in the face.
Not the sexy stuff.
The stuff that actually makes money.
Key takeaways that repeat every single time:
• Consistency beats talent
The ones winning aren’t smarter — they just show up longer than everyone else.
• Relationships compound faster than deals
One good relationship will out-earn ten rushed transactions.
• Speed creates trust
Call backs, follow-ups, decisions. Momentum is a currency.
• Boring systems make exciting money
CRMs, checklists, processes. No one brags about them. Everyone who wins uses them.
• Brand is doing what you said you’d do
Logos don’t build reputations. Behaviour does.
• Most people quit just before it gets good
The gap between average and exceptional is usually six months of discomfort.
Podcasts don’t give shortcuts.
They give receipts.
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or impatient — good.
That usually means you’re right where progress starts.
Now crack on.
And do the unglamorous work again tomorrow
