The Property XPerts Show with Ben & Jack
📐 Most development deals fail before the build even starts
GDV is the single biggest assumption in any appraisal and it’s also where most developers go wrong. Relying on Rightmove averages or a single agent’s opinion can leave you exposed long before planning or construction begins.
In this video, we break down how experienced developers and surveyors approach site valuation: phased appraisals, the variables that can shift outcomes by 20%, how to spot hidden abnormals, and why professional valuations often come back miles apart. This is about protecting margin before the first brick is laid.

🚪 Knowing when to walk away is as important as knowing what to buy
Not every property deal is worth your time or capital. Experienced developers filter out unworkable acquisitions early, focusing only on opportunities they can realistically secure and deliver.
In this video, we explain how recognising when to walk away protects your momentum, your money, and your pipeline and why this decision often separates profitable developers from those chasing marginal or risky deals.

🛋️ Interior design isn’t cosmetic - it’s commercial
Sales speed, buyer perception and final values are all shaped by design decisions, yet it’s still one of the most underestimated levers in UK development. Layout choices, specification, CGI dressing and show units often have a bigger impact on GDV and absorption than developers expect.
In this video, we break down where design quietly adds (or destroys) margin and how developers can approach staging and interiors with intent in a 2026 market. If you care about exits, this is worth understanding properly.

🏠 If your property isn’t selling, it’s usually the listing - not the market
Spending months on a renovation only to let a weak Rightmove advert kill the exit is one of the most expensive mistakes developers make. If viewings aren’t coming in, the problem is often how the property is presented, not the price or timing.
In this video, we break down the exact approach we use at XP Properties to write listings that work in a 2026, mobile-first market, from the 8-point summary rule to why every word should be written with one goal: securing the viewing.

📈 Scaling a property business isn’t about motivation, it’s about systems
Most property businesses stall because they rely on ambition rather than process. In this video, we break down the framework we’re using to scale XP Properties through 2026, including how we plan, track growth, and move from smaller schemes into £5m–£15m GDV projects without losing control.
We cover why businesses hit the “hockey stick” point (or don’t), how private equity-style planning translates into day-to-day execution, and the key indicators we use to manage multiple companies and a growing development pipeline. If you’re serious about scaling, this is a practical place to start.

🔍 Most profitable property deals aren’t found where you think
Everyone talks about off-market sourcing and secret tactics but in reality, the majority of our best deals come from places most investors are told to ignore.
In this video, we break down the core framework we use to build a multi-million-pound acquisition pipeline that actually converts. From why off-market strategies often take years to pay off, to how competitive advantage, deal psychology and structured grading matter more than search criteria, this is a practical look at how deals are really secured in today’s market.

📐 GDV is the most dangerous assumption in a development deal
End value sits at the centre of every decision, from what you pay for land to how projects are funded and exited. Yet it’s often based on weak comparables, optimistic pricing or pressure to secure sites.
In this video, we break down how experienced developers assess and stress-test GDV, why small pricing errors can wipe out margins, and how end value influences risk, funding terms and overall viability. Essential viewing for anyone buying sites or underwriting deals in today’s market. WATCH HERE - https://youtu.be/DdflnnX7uCI

📊 Stop chasing yields. Start focusing on real profit.
Many investors head North for cheaper entry prices, only to see returns eroded by weak capital growth, higher management intensity and limited upside. In this video, we compare the real-world performance of a £150k Northern terrace against a £600k Southern asset — breaking down where cashflow, equity growth and long-term returns actually land.
If you want a clearer framework for deciding where your capital should be working, this comparison lays it out in practical terms.
