The Housing Market Is Bankrupting The UK (It's About To Get Worse)

26th January 2026

The UK housing market is broken - and once you understand how much it actually costs to build a house in Britain, it makes even less sense.

I've been in property full-time for over 18 years. I've built multiple new-build homes, worked on large-scale developments in the UK and overseas, and I invest into UK property every single month.

In this video, I break down the real cost of building a house in the UK - and why in many areas it now costs more to build than to buy.

We’re told there’s a housing crisis – but the truth is, the system itself is broken. From planning permission nightmares, to ridiculous material costs, to a shortage of skilled labour, developers are being squeezed out of the market. The numbers simply don’t stack anymore.

I’ll also show you the exact strategies I use to profit from this chaos – including how I leverage derelict properties, so-called "zombie homes", and smart refurbishment strategies to build wealth without needing millions.
