Did you know there are over 1 million empty homes in the UK that are not being used for housing? š³
We actually do have a large supply of houses that could be turned into homes to help with the housing crisis.
A huge portion of the empty homes belong to everyday people who inherited a property or bought a āfixer-upperā and simply ran out of money. If a house needs a Ā£40,000 roof and structural repair to be legally liveable, and the owner canāt get a loan, the house sits rotting.
There is a massive opportunity (if you have the right know-how) to find these empty homes, convert them back into family homes and cash in! š¤
Property developers (like my clients and I) make significant money bringing these empty homes back to market whilst helping to increase the overall housing stock in the UK.
Regardless of whether the market goes up or down, we force the value up of the homes we buy!!

The Labour Government were elected on the promise of ānot increasing tax on working peopleā.
After getting in, they immediately increased taxes on working people. Increasing NI, stealth taxes and moreā¦
Now, to top it off, theyāve decided to tax your hard-earned money in your ISA even more??
Earlier this year, they cut the Cash ISA limit for under-65s from Ā£20,000 to Ā£12,000. š
But now to make matters even worseā¦
From next April, investors will pay an extra 22% tax on the interest earned on cash held in their stocks and shares ISAs. š³
The Labour Party are not for working people. I can prove itā¦
Every year, Iām still able to use dozens of unique HMRC-approved loopholes kept in place by the Government exclusively for the rich.
Loopholes that allow me to invest in property and earn Ā£100Ks on property deals while paying almost zero tax in some cases. All approved by my accountants and HMRC. ā
From using a SSAS or SIPP pension investing into commercial property, or buying uninhabitable properties⦠There are so many!

We have a strange system in the UK where a Ā£47M penthouse in Westminster can pay less council tax than a 3-bed, terraced family house in Blackpool. š³
In England and Scotland, council tax bands are calculated using what properties were worth on April 1, 1991!
Property prices across the UK have grown at vastly different rates over the last 35 years. For example, average house prices in London have skyrocketed far faster than those in the North East, yet the tax bands haven't changed to reflect that.
The future PM, Andy Burnham, supports the campaign group āFairer Shareā. This group aims to abolish stamp duty and council tax, and replace them with a proportional 0.48% per year property tax. š¤
How this tax plays out could be very interestingā¦
Some say it will help balance out property prices across the UK, increasing housing prices in the north.
Others highlight that removing stamp duty will massively get the UK housing market moving again.
Whatever happens, always rememberā¦
The rules created by Politicians often benefit the rich and the elite, never the working people.

When Andy Burnham becomes UK Prime Minister, UK property will change forever.
Here are my predictions.
Burnham has been outspoken about the need to tax land more in the UK.
He has previously backed a campaign by Fairer Share to replace stamp duty and council tax with a 0.48% proportional property tax. That would mean a typical £270,000 home paying around £1,296 per year.
A similar system already exists in the USA, where Iāve invested. Lower upfront taxes when buying can make BRRs and flips more profitable.
Stamp duty is an outdated tax that makes moving house more expensive and slows down the property market.
Council tax is also badly outdated. Itās still based on property values from 1 April 1991. Even homes built after 1991 are assigned a band based on what they would have been worth back then.
For example, a £4,000,000 six-bed penthouse in Westminster pays around £1,900 a year in council tax, while a £150,000 three-bed terraced house in Blackpool can pay around £2,400.
Should this land tax come in, property prices could shift MASSIVELY. As seen via prediction graph.
That said, thereās no guarantee Burnham would introduce a land tax. And even if he did, we donāt know whether stamp duty and council tax would be scrapped alongside it.
Burnham has also built much of his political career around tougher rules for landlords. He has supported rent controls and, during his time as Mayor of Manchester, fines issued against landlords in the area increased significantly.
That doesnāt scare me.
Scotland has some of the strictest landlord regulations in the UK and is still a great place to invest in property. When rent caps were introduced, rents ultimately rose.
Regardless, it doesnāt really matter what rules politicians bring in.
Time and time again, governments create policies that end up benefiting those who understand the system best.
Iāll keep doing what Iāve always done: learning the rules, spotting the opportunities, and using property to build wealth.

NEVER BUY SHARED OWNERSHIP ā ļø
The Governmentās been branding this as a āgood investmentā for the last 10 years. š„
This scheme targets uneducated and vulnerable wannabe homeowners. The cheap house prices trick them into thinking they are āgetting on the ladderā.
Hereās the reality. š
You only own a %. You have to pay a mortgage AND rent to a landlord.
Despite having a landlord, you are still responsible for 100% of all the repairs and maintenance!!?
Yes, you share ownership, but you bear the entire risk.
When the boiler breaks, the roof leaks, or the lift fails, the housing association (which owns 75%) pays zero!! š³
Plus, the service charges often are not fixed or capped. They are at the total discretion of the managing agents.
When you finally want to sell⦠YOU CANāT!! Who wants to buy a share of a house when they could buy the whole thing?
This is what happens when you donāt properly educate yourself and follow blindly what the Government and the āsystemā tell you is a good idea.
If you havenāt, at the bare minimum, taken my free 1hr online training on property investing, Iād HIGHLY suggest you take it. Itās like a crash course.
Itās free and will prevent you from falling for common stupid investments like this that could lose you Ā£100Ks in your life.

Hereās theĀ truthĀ aboutĀ Starmerās social media ban. š„
ItāsĀ notĀ about āprotectingā kids under 16. Itās aboutĀ total control.
Their plan is to forceĀ everyone (including adults) to āproveā their age to access social media sites. šØāš»
Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook will becomeĀ digital ID checkpoints.
You will not be able to access them without a digital ID. ā
Once you have a digital ID, itāll be linked to your bank account, passport, driverās license, and social media accounts.
Now, if you do anything the Government donāt agree with, with the click of a button, they can turn you off.
The brutal reality is that rich people wonāt have to follow these rules (we saw this back during COVID). Having money, being part of the top 1%, means you are protected. ā
I own assets, such as property, using the right structures so the Government cannot take them from me.
I can afford to take my kids out of the UK school system. I have multiple banks and businesses in different countries.
You need to learn how to get yourself in the same position within the next 6-12 months. This is urgent.
If you want me to give you a step up before itās too late, Iām running a free online workshop.
Itāll break down how to start acquiring assets that cashflow and beat inflation (even if you are starting with no money).

Itās funny to see how annoyed people are that Elon Musk has become a self-made trillionaire. š¤£
Heās created over 150,000 jobs, plus is making moves that will be remembered in the history books.
I believe in free market, willing buyer, willing seller. Heās created products that people buy; whatever you say about him, heās a genius businessman. ā
Instead of resenting people who become successful, why not learn from their strategies? Figure out how you can replicate parts of their success in your life.
Learn how Elon Musk leverages his money. Learn how he pulls out tax-free debt through borrowing against his assets to buy more assets.
Hating on rich people will keep you broke. Celebrating rich people's successes and copying their blueprint will make you rich.
I will always be grateful for the time Elon Musk endorsed the Samuel Leeds brand. Excited to see where he goes. šŖ

It was an honor to see my work within the Muslim community highlighted in British Muslim Magazine.
I have always deeply respected and appreciated the Muslim community here in the UK.
The media often negatively depicts and stereotypes the Islamic community here in England. š
Every Muslim Iāve ever met has been nothing but kind, respectful and trustworthy. šŖ
Many of my staff, business partners and clients within the Academy follow the Islamic faith.
The No. 1 objection I was always given from Muslims when getting into property was, āHow am I supposed to borrow money if I cannot pay interest?ā
This led me to launch āSamuel Leeds Islamic Financeā as an additional part of my long-running āSamuel Leeds Financeā.
We can now structure loans in a Halal way for Muslims looking to expand their property portfolios. š
Right now, we have £ 10 M allocated to invest with SL Finance. We keep the access to SL Finance exclusive to my clients within the Samuel Leeds Academy.

The Labour government came to power in 2024 with a ābuild, build, buildā promise.
Labour promised 1.5M new homes by 2025. Thatās 300,000 new homes per year.
However, the last full year of house completions to December 2025 saw 170,000 homes built. That's barely 50% of their building target. š
I have acres upon acres of land that Iām ready to build on, should the Government give me the green light.š¢
The amount of red tape and planning restrictions the Government continues to impose on England is ridiculous. Itās no wonder so many big house builders are losing money or just giving up š
Rob Perrins, the boss of housebuilder Berkeley Group, recently declared London āuninvestableā as his company halted new land purchases and reduced investment in its projects.
When there is a shortage of housing, the housing you own becomes more in demand, and price increases often follow.
So instead of looking to build in the land we have available, if you want to cash in NOW as a property investor, why not help turn the uninhabitable properties into habitable ones?
But did you know that there are over 1M empty/derelict homes in the UK?
Buying uninhabitable properties to refurbish is often very tax-efficient and a great way to pull all your money back out.
Furthermore, some estimates claim 175,000 empty commercial properties in England can be converted into residential homes.
The process to turn a commercial unit into a residential unit is extremely straightforward. Plus, the tax write-offs can be amazing!
Iām running an upcoming free training on how to do this to do this - click the link to access!

Back in 2018, I had a really bad accident and almost died by falling down a waterfall on the River Nile and landing straight onto the rocks.
Unfit to fly home, stuck in Uganda, left for dead š
Dr Jamela saved my life. She was one of the very few Ugandan orthopaedic surgeons that just happened to be in the area the day of my accident.
Whilst in hospital for 10 days, I saw the drastic needs. No space and not a single orthopaedic surgeon on site š
This is what prompted the construction of this new 64 bed hospital ward which is filled with new doctors, nurses and resident surgeons š„²
Guess who the surgeons are reporting directly to? Dr Jamela.
So many people said it wouldnāt be possible, the government wouldnāt allow me to build it, it would take years to build, it would cost billions to build āļø
These doubters didnāt realise that I am not just a billionaire in Uganda, but also a competent property developer. It took 7 months and cost just over 1 billion shillings only (Ā£300,000 with all costs and exchange rate)
This is the same cost as buying a Lamborghini. Nothing wrong with driving one, but perhaps consider building a hospital ward first? š¤·āāļø
I am a huge advocate for making money, but only when you remember the dark places you came from and use your money to help others, as well as living a nice life of course.
God put me in that pit for a reason, and what the enemy meant for evil, God meant for good šš»
Giving back to important causes should be a significant motivation to learning how to get ahead financially.
